## About this task

This Clinical-stage biotech in oncology (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.

The person who did this left, and the company would rather bring in an experienced part-timer than rush a permanent hire. It works in life sciences, where documents are versioned and reviewed in a fixed order.

The team sits in Toronto. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 2 hours 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.

- A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends

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

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

## What a week looks like

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

- Friday: main working block (3 hours)

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

**Duration:** 12 weeks, renewable. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.

Jira Slack

## Who fits

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.
