Job Description
Legal Operations is hiring a Director – Workflow Performance to take on a senior mandate within Workflow Automation, operating in a legal operations function running the legal department like a business unit. This is a role for someone who is expected to spend 12-18 years building credibility and, over time, own outcomes rather than just tasks.
The mandate centres on workflow automation, and the person in this seat will be expected to bring depth in Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) Tools, Legal Technology Implementation, Vendor & Budget Management, Reporting & Analytics, Compliance Tracking, while also operating comfortably with ambiguity — senior roles here rarely come with a fully written playbook.
Cross-functional collaboration is baked into how the team operates, so strong communication skills matter as much as technical ones. Mentorship is informal but consistent — senior team members actively coach newer hires on both skills and career direction.
On the qualifications side, we're looking at MBA (Legal/Operations) / LLB (preferred) as a baseline, though what matters more at this level is a demonstrated track record rather than the credential itself.
There's a clear internal growth path, with regular skip-level reviews and structured career conversations.
The team culture leans collaborative and fairly informal, with an emphasis on ownership over hierarchy.
The package includes group medical cover, performance-linked bonuses, and standard statutory benefits.
Mornings are usually spent on planning and stand-ups, while the bulk of the afternoon goes into execution, coordination with stakeholders, and troubleshooting whatever comes up.
The pace can be demanding during peak cycles, balanced by a genuinely supportive team that helps each other hit deadlines.
Mentorship is informal but consistent — senior team members actively coach newer hires on both skills and career direction.
Expect a mix of independent work and collaborative sessions, with regular check-ins to keep priorities aligned across the team.
The role blends planned, structured work with a fair share of ad-hoc problem solving as issues surface through the day.
Compensation for this position is ₹20.0 - ₹21.9 LPA, commensurate with experience, for a Full-Time engagement based out of Chennai. We review applications on a rolling basis, so early applications are encouraged.
