About the role

We’re looking for a Paralegal to join our Legal team and help us achieve our mission by boosting the efficiency and pace of our Legal Operations.

  • Building relationships - working closely with our key internal stakeholders while optimising our processes and legal operations

  • Triaging - the leading point of our workload, consistently prioritising to ensure all of our work gets the appropriate attention to ambitious SLAs

  • Documenting risk - managing our SLAs and contract terms so we are always compliant

  • Learning - working with industry experience (Legal and non-Legal) to consistently level up and learn as you work

You are

• • A legal graduate with experience working in a law firm or in-house legal team

  • Highly organised, able to manage challenging workloads and prioritise effectively

  • Detail oriented with a high bar for the quality of work you produce

  • Humble, empathetic, eager to make an impact
