• 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.

Other Qualities You’ll Need

• 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.
