67 open Remote Remote is the default shape of legal operations hiring in 2026: roughly half the live board posts as fully remote, with most US-remote postings open to anywhere inside the lower 48. The work is async-first, contract-heavy, and skews toward companies that built their legal function after distributed work normalized. 9 open New York New York legal ops hiring sits at the intersection of finance, media, and biglaw-adjacent in-house teams. The market skews toward eBilling, outside-counsel spend management, and legal project managers supporting matter-heavy departments — work that came out of the law-firm world and is now repeating itself inside Fortune 500 legal teams. 4 open Seattle Seattle legal ops hiring is driven by the cluster of cloud, e-commerce, and gaming employers headquartered in or near the city. The work emphasizes commercial contracts, vendor and procurement-adjacent legal, and the systems-administration side of the legal tech stack — closer to platform-engineering posture than to the matter-heavy work common on the East Coast.
