About the role

We're looking for an experienced Senior Paralegal to join us on a contract through late March or early April.
This is much more than a traditional corporate paralegal role.
Prepare, review, organize, and coordinate execution of contracts, NDAs, signature packages, templates, and other legal documentation.

Own day-to-day legal operations and corporate administration.
Support regulatory and compliance initiatives through document management, evidence collection, licensing and registration work, and regulatory responses.
Manage legal intake, priorities, deadlines, and matter tracking.
Improve how Legal operates by building better templates, playbooks, workflows, knowledge management, and AI-enabled processes.
Partner with teams across the company to help legal work move efficiently.

5+ years of experience supporting an in-house legal team or law firm.
Strong experience with corporate governance, corporate records, commercial contracts, and legal administration.
Familiarity with procurement, vendor contracts, external counsel management and regulatory work.

Maintain corporate records, minute books, governance documents, annual filings, and entity records.

The Legal team is small but highly leveraged.
We partner closely with Product, Compliance, Finance, Operations, People, and leadership to help Shakepay move quickly in a highly regulated environment.
We're building a modern legal function where legal operations, automation and AI are part of how we work, not side projects.
If you enjoy improving systems, taking ownership, and finding better ways of working, you'll have a meaningful impact from day one.
Experience supporting a fast-growing startup or scaling company.
