Job description

Legal Eagle: You’ve got a sharp eye for legal detail, and your organizational skills are so on point, even Marie Kondo would be impressed. Whether it’s assisting with corporate filings or supporting the team with legal research, you always handle the details that matter. Your strong background in compliance and risk management allows you to stay ahead of regulations while identifying and preventing risks before they become issues.

If that sounds like you, let's talk!

AlgaeCal is looking for a Vancouver-based Paralegal who can hit the ground running as a valued part of our legal team.

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea: A world without fear of fracture. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have crumbling bones. And they’re scared. Scared of fractures. Scared of breaks. And, most of all, scared of losing their independence and the ability to live the life they love.

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only natural solution that is clinically-supported to increase bone density. We give hope to thousands of frightened people. If you’re at a place in your career where you’re excited by the chance for your work to have meaning and help make a difference, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

This job might be for you if you've got…

• A proven ability to manage corporate documents, from drafting resolutions to maintaining electronic and paper minute books without missing a beat.
• 2+ years of experience as a corporate legal assistant, ideally in the eCommerce space, where you handled everything from filings to contract administration.
• Experience assisting in the drafting of corporate resolutions and ancillary documents, ensuring they are accurate and compliant with regulatory requirements.
• A resume that demonstrates your ability to assist in filing Annual Returns for multiple entities, ensuring all deadlines are met and filings are accurate.
• Experience in legal research tools and the know-how to dive deep into laws, rulings, and regulations to find the answers that matter.
• A keen attention to detail, ensuring all legal documents are accurate, thorough, and compliant with regulations.
• Experience preparing standard operating procedure (SOP) guidelines for the legal business unit, ensuring processes are consistent and follow best practices.
• Strong skills in implementing and maintaining an efficient contract lifecycle management system, ensuring all contracts are tracked, executed, and stored properly.
• Some experience acting as the liaison with outside counsel, ensuring effective communication and smooth collaboration on legal matters.
• Bonus points for experience in the health or eCommerce sectors—you know the ins and outs of this fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  

If you’re reading this and thinking, “Wow, that sounds exactly like me!” We would love to hear from you. If it doesn’t, no worries, but right now we’re only seeking experienced candidates who will immediately light up this role.

Other Qualities You’ll Need

At AlgaeCal we’re going to insist that you have these 3 qualities:

• You’re humble, you put the team and others’ needs ahead of your own
• You’re hungry to learn more
• You’re people smart, in the sense that you’re a great teammate

The truth is, if you don’t have these qualities you won’t last long at AlgaeCal. So if you’re missing one of them, be honest. Save yourself a lot of headaches and skip to a job posting that is a better fit for you.

What Will You Earn?

We believe in rewarding top talent. Let’s talk about salary once we’ve had the chance to get to know you better. Rest assured, we’re generous and offer above-market pay for the right person. If you bring the skills and experience, we’ll make sure the compensation reflects that.

You’ll also enjoy the following benefits:

• A generous healthcare package
• Monthly team events and activities
• Flexible Stat Holidays with the option to bank days for later use
• Weekly team lunches
• Hybrid work environment (we work from home 2 days a week)
• Casual dress code
• Incredible dog friendly, Yaletown office one block from SkyTrain
• Professional Development: You’ll get the opportunity to attend professional development conferences or workshops that will enhance your skills, expand your network, and drive your career forward with our support! And of course, we’ll cover your fees, accommodation, travel, meals, and any related materials or resources.

And above all, you’ll join a team that you’ll never want to leave. Culture is everything to us. Yes, we work extremely hard to change as many people’s lives as possible. But we know how to have fun and reward ourselves too.
