Requirements

What you’ll need

- Meaningful in house or private practice paralegal experience, typically three years or more. This is indicative, and we welcome applications from candidates at slightly earlier or later stages where the experience is compelling.
- Hands on experience drafting commercial agreements such as NDAs, order forms and supplier agreements, and supporting negotiations in a fast paced environment, ideally SaaS or technology, in house and/or in private practice
- Familiarity with a range of commercial agreements such as NDAs, order forms and supplier contracts, with exposure to MSAs
- Confidence partnering with senior business stakeholders across functions and geographies, including supporting Sales on upsells and renewals and enterprise procurement cycles
- Exposure to working with Sales or commercial teams in a high volume or scaling environment
- Real enthusiasm for legal tech and AI enablement, with evidence of self starting adoption such as CLM, contract automation, playbooks and knowledge bases, electronic signature, and AI assisted drafting and review. You do not need to have built these at scale, but you should have opinions on how they should work and ideas for how to make them better.
- Evidence of taking ownership beyond pure task execution, for example improving a template, building a tracker, owning an intake process, or running a small piece of legal operations work end to end
