Senior Corporate Paralegal

Everlaw's Legal team is a tight-knit, high-impact group that supports every corner of the business. We are hiring a Senior Corporate Paralegal to be a core operational backbone for the team — owning the recurring "machinery" of corporate, compliance, and policy work, and providing flexible support to commercial and litigation matters as they arise.

This is a full-time exempt position based in our Oakland, CA office with a hybrid work schedule: in office M/W/Th with the option to work from home Tu/Fr.

Getting started

• We want you to feel like part of the team early on! Our onboarding process will integrate you into the company with informative sessions on our product, policies, processes, and team structure and goals.
• We’re excited for you to learn, grow, and contribute right away! We trust that you’ll bring experience and knowledge that will uplift and uplevel the team, but we don’t expect you to know everything on Day 1.

In your role…

Reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, the Senior Corporate Paralegal will support the Legal team across three core pillars: Corporate Governance, Corporate Compliance, and Policies — with the flexibility to assist on contract management and other matters as needed. This role partners closely with outside counsel, along with our Finance, People, and Security teams.
