The Company

We are Alloy Therapeutics - a biotechnology ecosystem and Product Development Organization (PDO) empowering the global scientific community to make better medicines together. Through a community of partners, we democratize access to pre-competitive tools, technologies, services, and company creation capabilities that are foundational for discovering and developing therapeutic biologics. The company facilitates affordable, non-exclusive access to the entire drug discovery community from academic scientists, small and medium biotech, to the largest biopharma. At Alloy, we believe our industry should compete on getting the best drugs to patients as quickly as possible, not exclusive access to the best platforms. As a reflection of our relentless commitment to the scientific community, we reinvest 100% of our revenue in innovation and access to innovation. May the Best Drug Win.

Alloy has evolved from a startup into a global product development organization operating 11 divisions across 5 research sites in 4 countries on 3 continents. Our model - Integrated Independence - combines centralized capabilities with entrepreneurial operating divisions. Successful members thrive in our shared culture of accountability, deliberate trust, and open communication. As a team we aspire to work together to exceed expectations and collectively contribute across the global organization to always maintain our nimble, startup culture.

At Alloy, we have an ethos of "Mentorship-By-Apprenticeship" in all of our positions. We strive to have workers in the office when needed to interact organically and face-to-face. Of course, as a lab-based operation, our cells and animals grow 7 days a week, 365 days per year. We respect and value our colleagues for their hard work that requires them to be in the lab every day. We ask our people who have more flexible accommodations to appreciate their colleagues who have less flexibility. We are all one team!

About the Role at Alloy Therapeutics

The Legal Operations Administrator will serve as the organizational hub of the Legal team and as a dedicated support resource for the team's attorneys, owning the systems, records, and workflows that keep a sophisticated in-house legal function running smoothly and enabling the attorneys to focus on substantive legal work. This role combines high-level administrative coordination with legal operations responsibilities - document and records management, signature and filing logistics, entity recordkeeping, diligence support, and workflow coordination across in-house counsel, business units, and outside counsel. The role also plays a central part in modernizing how the legal team works, including developing standard operating procedures and helping implement AI-enabled workflows in partnership with the company's AI team. The ideal candidate is a proactive, systems-minded professional who takes genuine pride in organization, process, and supporting others' success, anticipates needs before they arise, and can be trusted to manage confidential matters with discretion and precision.

Administration, Process, & AI Enablement

Serve as a dedicated support person for the attorneys on the team, providing high-level administrative and operational support to in-house counsel and various business units on legal matters.

Establish and draft, in collaboration with the group's attorneys, standard operating procedures (SOPs) for legal department processes, procedures, and recurring workflows, and maintain them as living documents as practices evolve.

Leverage AI tools and work with the company's AI team to collaborate on, enable, and assist in rolling out and implementing AI-driven workflows for the legal team, including embedding AI into the SOPs and processes described above.

Serve as the legal department's point person for integration with the organization's broader efforts to implement AI workflows, coordinating with the AI team and other stakeholders to ensure the legal function's needs and requirements are represented.
