We securely capture and preserve the communications data of the world’s most highly regulated firms, giving them greater visibility and control over their information and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations.

Though we offer competitive compensation and benefits and all the other perks one would expect from an established company, we are not your typical technology company.

We encourage you to apply if your qualifications and experience are a good fit for any of our openings.

Your role

Members of Global Relay’s Legal team provide legal and business support, advice, and counsel to Global Relay’s internal business and corporate teams on a broad spectrum of issues including international data protection requirements, contractual commitments, compliance obligations, intellectual property rights, employment and human resources issues. The purpose of the Legal Administrative Assistant (LAA) position is to provide all administrative support to the Legal team.

Your Responsibilities

• Provide administrative and drafting support for routine legal work including business communications, corporate policies, customer agreements, partner agreements, non-disclosure agreements.
• Provide day-to-day administrative support and manage a wide variety of tasks such as scheduling, mailing, and filing.
• Handle and track third-party legal correspondence and requests.
• Maintain confidential files and update CRM and other record keeping systems.
• Improve legal operations by maintaining a legal library, how-to guides, reference manuals, and resource materials.
• Look for innovative ways to optimize legal processes and take an ownership role in special projects as required.
  
  
  

About You

• Bachelor's degree, or diploma in a related field, or similar administrative work experience.
• Highly motivated, meticulous, efficient, organized, assertive, and laser-focused on the details.
• Highly proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook), Internet research, Adobe Acrobat Pro, and Salesforce CRM.
• Able to juggle multiple projects and manage a high-volume workload in a fast-paced environment, both collaborating as a team and working independently to get the job done, no matter how big or small the project.
• Calm, self-reliant and able to prioritize workload.
• Excellent judgment and demonstrated discretion handling confidential information.
• Strong writing, interpersonal and communication skills.
• Comfortable working with (and curious about) new technology systems.
• Experience with due diligence, technology assessments, and analysis in potential strategic transactions (including real estate, licensing and financing) is a significant plus.
