Kenneth Manos
@kennethmanos
Paralegal and operations strategist who coordinates vendors, automates workflows, and keeps legal matters moving.
What I'm looking for
I bring 15+ years coordinating vendors, partners, and cross-functional teams across film/TV production and legal operations—keeping documentation airtight and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. I’m at my best where attention to detail directly impacts outcomes.
In legal operations, I’ve served as a paralegal assistant driving 100+ concurrent client engagements from intake through resolution. I coordinate communication between legal, operations, vendors, and external partners so stakeholders stay informed and issues are resolved without escalation.
I build durable systems: I self-initiated and authored a 16-section operations manual and SOP library from scratch, including change-tracking and a priority framework—adopted as the organization’s default reference. I also created an 8-video onboarding training series, fully scripted, recorded, narrated, and edited solo, then incorporated into active onboarding.
I extend that mindset into automation and production. I solo-built a Python pipeline that turns raw weekly footage into broadcast-ready video, using AI transcription (Whisper), audio DSP cleanup, and self-tagging trigger logic to run unattended—so teams get reliable output without manual babysitting.
