Role Overview

As a Paralegal at Giga Energy, you will independently oversee the entire NDA and legal intake process, ensuring smooth management from initiation through execution without routine attorney involvement. You will develop and maintain a centralized legal intake system that organizes and prioritizes requests, holding the organization accountable for its use. Responsibilities include managing the signature pipeline, maintaining the contracts repository, and collaborating with attorneys and business units to scale legal operations. This highly autonomous position begins as an individual contributor role with prospects for managing increasingly complex projects.

Responsibilities

• Fully manage NDA drafting, negotiation, and execution, escalating to legal counsel only in exceptional cases.
• Create and maintain a centralized legal intake process to replace fragmented channels such as emails and chats.
• Effectively triage incoming legal requests, directing them properly and setting realistic turnaround expectations.
• Ensure company-wide adherence to the intake workflow, redirecting any requests that bypass established procedures, even on behalf of senior leadership.
• Handle the end-to-end signature process—queue, send for electronic approval, and track completion.
• Keep the contract repository organized for easy access, tracking, and reporting purposes.
• Work closely with attorneys and internal teams to ensure responsiveness as legal request volumes increase.
• Progress into handling larger, more intricate legal projects as trust and experience grow.

Requirements

• Minimum of seven years’ experience as a paralegal or in legal operations.
• Proven ability to independently manage nondisclosure agreements from drafting through execution.
• Experience designing or improving legal intake or triage systems.
• Familiarity with e-signature tools, contract repositories, and contract lifecycle management software.
• Capable of operating autonomously with sound judgment for escalation decisions.
• Consistent enforcement of processes while remaining adaptive to shifting priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Paralegal certification.
• Over ten years of legal operations or paralegal experience.
• Track record of creating legal intake processes from the ground up.
• Experience supporting legal departments within fast-paced, rapidly scaling companies.
• Skill in preparing legal summaries or executive briefing documents.

Benefits and Work Environment

• Health, dental, and vision insurance with partial subsidies.
• Equity awards in an expanding startup environment.
• 401(k) retirement plan with 4% employer match.
• Unlimited paid time off.
• Parental leave policy.
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) options.
• Commuter benefits available.
• Monthly in-person team gatherings at company offices.
