About Trademarkia
Trademarkia is a global search engine for trademarks, serving over 125,000 clients worldwide. We help entrepreneurs, startups, and enterprises protect their brands across jurisdictions with cutting-edge legal technology.
We are building a Center of Excellence in Nairobi, Kenya, focused on AI-driven legal operations to support our global attorney network.
The Role
This is not a traditional legal assistant role.
We are looking for an AI-first operator—someone who thinks like a builder, automator, and systems designer. You will act as a force multiplier for U.S. and global attorneys, helping them focus on client interaction while you streamline everything else.
You will manage high-volume workflows, especially email communications and task orchestration, using the most advanced AI tools and automation systems available today.
What You’ll Do
- Act as an AI-native legal operations assistant supporting U.S. and international attorneys
- Manage and optimize high-volume email workflows using AI (Gmail automation, filters, templates, smart routing)
- Build and maintain AI-powered systems for:
- Client intake and follow-ups
- Document handling and summaries
- Task tracking and prioritization
- Use tools like:
- Claude (CoWork / AI workflows)
- Google Gemini
- Gmail automation / Google Workspace automations
- Zapier / Make / scripting tools (where applicable)
- Continuously learn and implement best practices in AI-assisted productivity
- Serve as an AI agent steward—designing, refining, and improving workflows over time
- Ensure all communications are professional, precise, and client-ready
- Identify inefficiencies and proactively build automation-first solutions
Who You Are
- AI-native thinker — you instinctively reach for automation before manual work
- Comfortable managing large volumes of tasks and emails with precision
- Strong communicator with excellent written English
- Obsessed with efficiency, systems, and continuous improvement
- Able to operate in a fast-paced, high-responsibility environment
- Curious, self-learning, and constantly experimenting with new tools
Ideal Background
- Experience as a legal assistant, operations specialist, or executive assistant (preferred but not required)
- Hands-on experience with:
- AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.)
- Google Workspace automation
- Workflow tools (Zapier, Make, Notion, etc.)
- “Builder” mindset—comfortable with light scripting, automation, or vibe coding
- Experience supporting U.S. or international professionals is a plus
What Makes This Role Unique
- You will be part of building a next-generation AI-powered legal operations team
- Direct exposure to global legal workflows and clients
- Opportunity to become a leader in AI-assisted professional services
- Work in a role where automation replaces repetition
Compensation
We offer a competitive salary based on skill and capability.
Suggested range (Nairobi market):
KES 150,000 + per month (~$1,000 + USD/month)
Top candidates with strong AI + automation skills may exceed this range
Final Note
We are not looking for a traditional assistant.
We are looking for a superstar—someone who can think like an engineer, communicate like a professional, and operate like an AI-native system builder.
If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
