General

• Support the General Counsel on ad hoc legal and corporate projects as needed

• Familiarity with corporate entity maintenance and multi-state regulatory compliance
• Experience with, or strong interest in, building and improving legal operations processes and tools (CLM systems, intake workflows, templates/playbooks)
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills, with the ability to explain legal concepts clearly to non-legal stakeholders
• Strong business judgment and the ability to manage a high volume of matters independently in a fast-paced environment
• Detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable managing competing deadlines

Preferred
