n8n
Legal Operations Manager (Remote Europe)
n8n is an open workflow orchestration platform built for the new era of AI. We give technical teams the freedom of code with the speed of no‑code, so they can automate faster, smarter, and without limits. Since our founding in 2019, we’ve grown into a diverse team of over 160 across Europe and the US, connected by a shared builder spirit with our center of gravity in Berlin.
We’re in a defining moment of an incredible journey. Come and build with us. This is an individual contributor role with no direct report. Your main goal will be to build an AI‑first legal operations backbone that accelerates revenue, reduces legal touchpoints per transaction, and gives leadership real‑time visibility into risk and performance.
