Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Legal Operations Specialist role sits at the intersection of product-led software delivery and enterprise procurement, a recurring pressure point in SaaS. At an application security vendor serving large, regulated customers, legal operations becomes part of the revenue and risk workflow, supporting everything from standard commercial terms to security and data commitments that often shape deal cycles.

Building repeatable intake, triage, and reporting practices, plus working with CLM and e-signature tooling, develops an operating model that transfers across subscription businesses.
