About us: We believe the next generation of financial services will be powered by stablecoins. Founded in 2021, our mission at BVNK is to accelerate global money movement. We’re building stablecoin‑native infrastructure so businesses can move value instantly across borders and networks. With global licenses and T1 bank partnerships, we facilitate billions in transactions for enterprise clients like Worldpay, Deel, LianLian Global, and Rapyd. Our technology is transforming how businesses operate globally by eliminating payment delays, reducing costs, and unlocking trapped capital. We’re a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that stablecoins are the new infrastructure layer for financial services, and that BVNK is at the forefront of this shift.
About this role in the team: We’re looking for a Legal operations manager to help introduce structure, systems, and strategy into the day‑to‑day work of our legal function to free up our lawyers to focus on high‑value work and to help the team deliver faster, smarter, and with less stress. We’re looking for someone who is tech‑savvy who can both build and execute. You’ll be hands‑on with legal tooling, processes, and reporting, while also collaborating with our product, engineering, and data teams to scale legal infrastructure. This is a high‑impact role at the intersection of legal, technology, and operations in a fast‑growing global fintech.
Key Areas of Responsibilities:
- Tooling & Workflow Development: Build, configure, and maintain day‑to‑day tools (e.g., LawVu, Salesforce, Jira, Slack) and workflows to support legal operations. Partner with engineers and product teams to design scalable systems.
- Contract Management: Own the end‑to‑end lifecycle of contracts, including templates, versioning, automation, alerts, and integration with other business systems.
- Data & Reporting: Create dashboards, track legal KPIs, and maintain legal data integrity across platforms. Use insights to drive team efficiency and prioritisation.
- Vendor & Spend Management: Manage external counsel relationships, track legal spend, oversee invoice processing, and support budgeting and forecasting.
- Project Management: Lead key legal initiatives, such as licensing applications and operationalisations, tool integrations, audits, and regulatory readiness. Own timelines, risks, and delivery outcomes.
- Privacy & Compliance Support: Collaborate with the DPO to operationalise data protection processes and support regulatory compliance.
- AI & Automation: Identify and implement AI or automation opportunities (e.g., contract analysis, workflow routing, doc generation) to reduce manual effort.
- Training & Enablement: Train legal and business teams on tooling and processes; promote self‑service and adoption of scalable systems.
What we need from you:
- Legal operations or project/program management experience in a fast‑paced legal, compliance or similar team.
- Comfortable building workflows directly in tools like Salesforce, LawVu or similar (not just overseeing implementation).
- Experience building out automations, AI programmes and workflow optimisations.
- Strong technical fluency: can speak the language of engineers, draft requirements, and test configurations.
- Highly organised with experience managing complex, cross‑functional projects.
- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to influence and partner across legal, engineering, product, and commercial teams.
- Proficient in tools like Slack, Jira, Google Workspace, DocuSign, and data reporting tools (e.g. Quicksite).
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in fintech, SaaS, crypto, or other regulated tech sectors.
- Familiarity with financial services agreements or SaaS agreement structures and privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR).
- Interest in or experience implementing legal tech, CLM platforms, or workflow automation.
- A growth mindset and curiosity about building things from scratch.
What you can expect from us:
- Fair and competitive salary at every stage of your growth.
- Meaningful ownership in the business through our employee option scheme.
- Flexible working hours, with hybrid working at its heart.
- A culture built on passionate, growth‑minded people.
- A flexible approach to holiday.
- Opportunities to travel to our offices around the world.
- An open and creative environment where you can help us define the future of BVNK, its culture, and its opportunity sets.

You may be a great fit for this role or another role in our team. Compensation packages are based on candidate experience and relevant certifications. Bulgaria Salary Range: €60,000—€100,000 EUR.
