Ready to do your best work? Join us.
Are you ready to build the future of our legal department?
We are looking for a tech-savvy Paralegal /Legal Operations Coordinator who views legal processes as a product to be optimized. You aren’t just a "task manager"; you are the engine behind our global legal function. You will serve as the primary architect of our Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) system and the strategic liaison between our US headquarters and our European legal partners.
If you are a Paralegal who loves AI-driven workflows, and building scalable systems, this is your next career move.
Key Focus Areas
1. Architecting the Contract Lifecycle (50%)
- System Optimization: Beyond just using a CLM, you will own the Evisort environment—designing workflows, automating metadata capture, and ensuring our legal tech stack is cutting-edge.
- Intelligent Drafting: Scale our operations by managing and refining a library of automated templates (NDAs, DPAs, Vendor Agreements).
- Strategic Review: Conduct high-level "first-pass" reviews. You’ll identify material risks and navigate the "grey areas" of non-standard contracts, knowing exactly when to pull in US or European counsel.
2. Global Legal Nexus: Europe & US (30%)
- International Coordination: Act as the central nervous system for our European operations. You will manage the flow of complex queries—from GDPR to local employment law—ensuring our external counsel across jurisdictions stays aligned with US strategy.
- Data-Driven Reporting: Move beyond spreadsheets. Consolidate legal spend, matter tracking, and budgets into actionable insights for leadership.
3. Legal Strategy & Innovation (20%)
- Regulatory Intelligence: Conduct agile research on evolving state and national regulations.
- Corporate Governance 2.0: Maintain a digital-first archive of corporate records and automate the dissemination of company-wide legal policies.
Who You Are
- A Legal Tech Enthusiast: You have 3+ years of experience in Legal Ops or as a Paralegal, and you are likely the person your team asks for help when the CLM or workflow breaks.
- A Process Designer: You don't just find problems; you build the workflow to fix them. You understand the nuances of Managed Tech Services and Consulting contracts.
- Global-Minded: You are comfortable navigating different cultures and legal frameworks, particularly within the US and EU.
- Credentialed: You hold an ABA-approved Paralegal Certificate or equivalent experience, but you supplement that with a modern, "Legal Ops" mindset.
- Tech Stack: You have hands-on experience with Evisort or similar AI-powered CLM platforms.
Why Join Us?
We don't want a gatekeeper; we want an enabler. You will have a seat at the table to influence how we use technology to protect the company and accelerate growth.
