## About this task

This AI research company for drug discovery (5,000+ employees) is looking for a manager Legal Operations for an ongoing part-time engagement of 3–8 h a week. Sorts requests so lawyers deal with the right ones.

Workload peaks and dips, so a few fixed hours a week fit better than a full-time seat. It builds AI products and needs human experts to check what the models produce.

The team sits in Montreal. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. Evenings or weekends are fine, as long as the agreed weekly output is there. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (ET).

## What you deliver

- Triage requests, answer routine ones using templates and route the rest to counsel.

- Work logged against the agreed list, so the company contact can see progress without a call

- Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day

- A written update every Thursday with what was done, what is next and anything blocked

## What a week looks like

- Friday: 15-minute check-in to agree the week's items

- Tuesday: main working block (3 hours)

- Thursday: hand-off note with what shipped and what is open

**Duration:** 16 weeks, renewable. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.
