Job Description
Legal Operations is hiring a Strategic Automation Director 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 11-18 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 Cross-functional Coordination, Legal Process Optimization, Compliance Tracking, Vendor & Budget Management, Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) Tools, while also operating comfortably with ambiguity — senior roles here rarely come with a fully written playbook.
The environment rewards initiative; people who raise their hand for new challenges tend to grow fastest. This role is often a stepping stone into leadership tracks for candidates who show strong ownership early on.
On the qualifications side, we're looking at LLB / MBA (Legal/Operations) as a baseline, though what matters more at this level is a demonstrated track record rather than the credential itself.
No two days look identical — some are heads-down execution days, others are spent almost entirely in stakeholder conversations and reviews.
The role blends planned, structured work with a fair share of ad-hoc problem solving as issues surface through the day.
The pace can be demanding during peak cycles, balanced by a genuinely supportive team that helps each other hit deadlines.
Benefits are in line with industry norms — health cover, PF, and annual leave, along with periodic performance bonuses.
Cross-functional collaboration is baked into how the team operates, so strong communication skills matter as much as technical ones.

The company invests in upskilling through internal training, certifications support, and cross-team rotations for strong performers.
Compensation for this position is ₹17.2 - ₹20.4 LPA, commensurate with experience, for a Full-Time engagement based out of Pune. If you think you're a strong fit, go ahead and apply — we'd rather hear from you than miss you.
