Job Description:

Sterlington is looking for a Legal Operations Practice Manager to implement AI workflows and oversee the execution layer of a Senior Partner’s Corporate and M&A practice — a high-volume, high-stakes environment serving founders, executives, and private capital clients on some of the most consequential transactions of their careers. This role sits at the center of the practice, ensuring that complex, multi-party matters progress with clarity, continuity, and control — bringing structure to evolving priorities, maintaining visibility across all active workstreams, and ensuring that commitments, internal and external, are delivered without friction.

Job Responsibility:

  • Implement AI workflows and oversee the execution layer of a Senior Partner’s Corporate and M&A practice
  • Drive continuous improvement by refining workflows for greater operational efficiency and scalability
  • Integrating AI tools to enhance matter tracking, document summarization, and internal coordination
  • Maintain end-to-end visibility and structured tracking across all active matters
  • Coordinate seamlessly across attorneys, co-counsel, clients, and external counterparties
  • Prepare concise, decision-ready matter summaries and status updates
  • Anticipate gaps, misalignments, and potential delays and resolve them before they surface
  • Support transaction pipeline visibility and business development follow-through

Requirements:

  • Hands-on AI fluency: You have built and deployed workflows in a professional context
  • Experience in practice management, legal operations, or transactional coordination within a law firm or professional services environment
  • Legal background preferred: J.D. or equivalent
  • US corporate and M&A familiarity is a strong plus
  • Native or full professional English fluency required
  • Structured, systems-oriented mindset — you introduce clarity without over-engineering
What we offer:
  • Full-time employees are eligible for enrollment in our Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance plans
  • 401(k)-retirement program
