At Penguin we turn manuscripts into movements.

Our India operations aren’t a satellite office , they’re woven into a genuinely global business, which means the work here carries weight far beyond these walls.
We’re looking for a Legal Operations Specialist who can bring order to chaos, tame contract backlogs and turn outside counsel invoice chaos into order. If “process improvement” makes your heart race a little, keep reading.
