We are looking for a smart and self-motivated individual to provide administrative assistance to our Amazon Web Services Products Legal team. Responsibilities include drafting correspondence to business teams, coordinating the execution of agreements, maintaining legal contracts, preparing status reports, improving processes, performing general office tasks (such as calendaring, filing, and budget tracking), and coordinating other legal and administrative matters with business groups.
Key job responsibilities
- Coordinate end-to-end execution of commercial agreements across the APJ region, including tracking signature workflows and maintaining contract databases
- Draft and send routine correspondence to business teams regarding contract status, next steps, and outstanding items
- Maintain and organize legal contract repositories, ensuring documents are accurately filed and easily retrievable
- Prepare weekly and monthly status reports on contract pipeline, open matters, and team workload
- Manage calendaring, scheduling, and logistics for the legal team
- Track and reconcile team budget and vendor invoices
- Identify and implement process improvements to increase team efficiency
- Coordinate with business groups on administrative and legal matters, serving as a reliable point of contact
A day in the life
The Legal Assistant would start your day reviewing incoming contract requests and prioritizing execution tasks. They might spend the morning coordinating signature workflows for several commercial agreements, following up with business stakeholders on outstanding items, and updating the team's contract tracker. After lunch, they could be preparing a status report for the weekly team meeting, filing executed agreements, and responding to queries from business teams about contract timelines, or other process and administrative related tasks. Throughout the day, they’ll manage the team's calendar, flag urgent items, and look for ways to make processes smoother. No two days are exactly alike — they’ll balance routine administrative tasks with ad hoc requests, all while keeping the team organized and on track.
