- Build a standard contract suite (templates, workflow, execution).
- Ensure data privacy & compliance readiness (research, document, maintain).
- Coordinate corporate governance + IP protection.
- Maintain an investor-grade data room (organize, update, audit).
- Provide cross-functional legal operations support.
- Conduct legal research & strategic analysis.
Requirements
- You thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and enjoy building from the ground up.
- You have a strong interest in legal research, contract drafting, and compliance.
- You are detail-oriented and organized, with excellent communication skills.
- You are proactive and take initiative to identify and solve problems.
