Senior Corporate Paralegal/Legal Contracts Specialist

Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Corporate Paralegal/Legal Contracts Specialist to support a lean, fast-paced in-house legal department of a publicly traded company. This role provides broad-based legal support across board and committee support, routine commercial contracting, legal operations, systems management, and selected public company and intellectual property support.

This is a senior legal support role for a professional who is above a purely administrative level but is not an attorney. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of relevant legal experience in an in-house legal department, law firm, or similar environment, with experience spanning some combination of board support, contract administration, legal operations, commercial contracting, and corporate paralegal work.

The successful candidate must exercise the utmost discretion, demonstrate exceptional attention to detail, and thrive in an environment where urgent matters, shifting priorities, and executive-driven requests are common. This person must be able to set aside lower-priority work, pivot quickly to priority matters, and then return to other projects without losing accuracy or momentum. This role will also require periodic extended hours and responsiveness outside normal business hours in connection with board matters, transaction support, contract deadlines, public company obligations, or other urgent business needs.

What Youll Get to Work On

• Gain direct exposure to corporate governance in a public-company environment.
• Partner closely with executive leadership and cross-functional stakeholders, including commercial teams, finance, HR, and scientific teams.
• Help build and improve contract management and legal operations processes in a lean, highly collaborative legal team.
• Take on a broad, visible role with meaningful responsibility and day-to-day impact across the organization. <
