74 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. 8 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. 3 open Austin Austin legal ops hiring follows the same companies driving the city's tech expansion: post-IPO software, hardware/EV manufacturing, and the Texas-relocated arms of Bay Area companies. The market skews younger — more ICs and first-line managers, fewer career legal-ops directors — and the work is closer to contracts and commercial review than to large eBilling programs. 3 open Los Angeles Los Angeles legal ops hiring runs across entertainment, media tech, e-commerce, and the consumer-internet companies that built their second headquarters in the city. Compared to the Bay Area, LA roles lean more toward content licensing, talent/rights contract work, and matter-management programs supporting heavier litigation footprints.
