Role Overview

As a Paralegal, you will independently manage the entire NDA and legal intake workflow. This position is highly autonomous, involving drafting, negotiating, and driving NDAs to completion without regular attorney involvement, except for exceptional circumstances. You will develop and maintain a centralized legal request intake system to replace the current fragmented communication channels across the company, ensuring all legal requests are appropriately triaged and tracked. Managing the signature process from document queuing through electronic signing and completion is a key responsibility. There is significant scope to expand into complex projects based on performance in this initial role.
