  • Procurement and Budgets: You will raise Purchase Orders (POs) using Coupa and navigate our updated procurement systems. You will track spending for team events, work with our Finance Partners, and manage vendor records.
  • Project and Event Planning: You will lead team projects, set timelines, and organize both in-person and virtual team events. You will partner with teams like Techforce, Meetingforce, and REWS to get things done.
  • Relationship Building: You will develop strong relationships across Salesforce, building a personal network that helps you get things done quickly and effectively on behalf of your executives.
  • Team Coverage: As part of a collaborative Admin team, you will support and be supported by your LCA Admin colleagues during periods of PTO and sickness, ensuring continuity of support across the team.
  • Other duties as requested by your executives or the broader LCA Admin team.


The Impact You'll Make: By championing AI capabilities and keeping our leaders organized, you will help our legal team work faster and smarter. You will lead initiatives within our internal Admin community, act as a Trail Guide for new hires, and help shape a positive team culture.
