# Legal Project Manager - Legal Operations & LegalTech **Company:** [Freedom24](http://jobs.workable.com/companies/dMFinaUga4SUDstSBAFseK.md) **Location:** Limassol, Cyprus **Workplace:** on site **Employment type:** Full-time [Apply for this job](http://jobs.workable.com/view/0262045b-e24e-4338-b628-7ae15aeb93f2) ## Description Freedom24 is the European arm of Freedom Holding Corp (NASDAQ: FRHC), a publicly listed, US-audited financial group. We're a CySEC-regulated, MiFID II-compliant investment firm serving 400,000+ clients across Europe, with offices in multiple EU countries and access to 15+ global exchanges. We operate in a fast-moving, multi-jurisdictional, heavily regulated environment. Our Legal Unit is going through a transformation – from a reactive advice function into a managed, tech-enabled service delivery model. You'd be the person who designs and runs that engine. **Why this role exists** Legal can't scale just by hiring more lawyers or manually reviewing every request. Our experts spend too much time chasing inputs, clarifying half-complete requests, sending reminders, and coordinating approvals by hand – instead of applying judgment to high-risk, high-value work. Your mission: own the legal service delivery conveyor end to end – from the moment a request enters Legal until it's routed, tracked, approved, signed, reported, and (where possible) turned into a reusable standard or a LegalTech-enabled solution. You make Legal faster, more transparent, more measurable, and far easier for the business to work with. **What you'll own** - **The Legal Front Door.** Design and run a single controlled entry point for all legal requests – intake forms, request categories, mandatory fields and documents, ownership rules. - **Triage & routing.** Build the logic that sends each matter to the right place – legal expert, business owner, Compliance, Finance, HR, external counsel, or a self-service tool – and filters out incomplete or misdirected requests. - **The "Complete Package" standard.** Define and enforce what a request must contain before legal work starts, and send incomplete requests back with clear guidance – drastically cutting rework and ad hoc pressure on lawyers. - **SLA & status discipline.** Design the SLA model (when it starts, pauses, escalates) and make delays – and who caused them – visible and properly attributed. - **LegalTech.** Act as business owner for the Legal Unit's tooling: workflow/ticketing logic, dashboards, request taxonomy, SLA tracking, knowledge base, AI-assisted intake. Translate legal needs into specs and drive adoption. - **Dashboards & reporting.** Build management reporting for the CLO: workload, cycle time, SLA compliance, bottlenecks, legal spend, external-counsel usage, adoption metrics. Make risk and pressure visible, not just volume. - **Knowledge & standardization.** Convert recurring work into templates, playbooks, clause banks, checklists and self-service products. Move low-risk routine work out of manual review. - **Legal Debt & external counsel.** Maintain a Legal Debt register and remediation tracking; support external-counsel intake, matter tracking and budget visibility. **This role is — and isn't** **It IS** a leadership and transformation role: you own the operational architecture of the Legal Unit (process, technology, intake quality, routing, SLA, reporting, knowledge, service discipline). **It is NOT** a role that replaces substantive legal review – you won't be the final adviser on complex regulatory, litigation, corporate, employment, or commercial matters. **It is also NOT** a purely administrative document-handling job. If you're looking to practice law, or you're looking for routine paperwork, this isn't the right fit. **This role is for you if** you think of legal as a managed service, you get satisfaction from turning chaos into clean workflows and dashboards, and you enjoy driving adoption of new systems in an organization used to ad hoc, Slack-and-email coordination. ## Requirements **Must-haves:** - 10+ years in Legal Operations, legal project management, legal service delivery / process management, or document/contract management (legal, paralegal, or legal-ops background). - Hands-on LegalTech experience — you have personally implemented, configured, rolled out, or operationally owned workflow / matter-management / ticketing / document-management / e-signature / dashboarding / knowledge-management or AI-assisted legal tools. - Proven process design skills: workflow mapping, intake/triage design, SLA design, dashboard logic, reporting, operational controls. - Strong grasp of legal workflows end to end — document lifecycle, approvals, signing, registers, archiving, contract administration. - Experience in medium-to-large organizations with structured approvals, many cross-functional stakeholders, and high document volume. - Experience working in Europe or with European legal/regulatory/corporate workflows; exposure to common-law jurisdictions or common-law-style documentation strongly preferred. - Excellent cross-functional communication — you can hold your own with lawyers, IT, Finance, Compliance, HR, business stakeholders, and senior management. - Strong document discipline, attention to detail, and comfort in a regulated, multi-jurisdictional, fast-moving environment. - Professional written and spoken English and Russian (both are working languages for this role). **Nice to have (strong advantages):** - Background in brokerage, investment services, fintech, payments, crypto, banking, asset management, or trading platforms. - Familiarity with CySEC, MiFID, GDPR, AML/CFT, sanctions, DORA, client-facing documents, or regulated outsourcing. - Hands-on with GLPI, DocuSign, SharePoint, Microsoft Planner, CLM / matter-management / ticketing tools, or BI dashboards. - You've built a Legal Front Door, intake forms, approval/risk matrices, playbooks, or self-service legal products before. - Experience managing external-counsel administration and legal budget reporting. - Experience leading a small operations / document-management team. - An additional European language. ## Benefits - On-site work in a modern, well-located office in Limassol; - Competitive salary; - Annual performance-based bonus; - Child benefit for each child under the age of 18; - VISA sponsorship for the employee and family members; - Relocation package, including compensation for the flight, two checked bags, and accommodation for one month; - The company covers 50% of the annual cost of the Healthy Plan, which the employee can set up with any insurance company; - Company-provided life insurance; - 21 working days of paid vacation; - Public holidays under applicable law are substituted by the Employer with 12 alternative days off. The employee can take 1 (one) additional day off per month — 12 (twelve) additional days off per year; - Up to 3 days of sick leave per month without a medical report from a licensed general physician justifying such absence.
