• Prepare business correspondence, legal notices, and other legal documents.
• Maintain corporate records and support corporate governance and compliance initiatives.
• Coordinate with internal departments on contract‑related and legal processes.
• Organize and maintain legal files while ensuring confidentiality of sensitive information.
• Support special projects and other Legal Department initiatives.
• Manage responsibilities independently while keeping in‑house counsel informed of progress and priorities.

Qualifications

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Paralegal Studies or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 3+ years of experience as a Corporate Paralegal, Contracts Administrator, Legal Assistant, or in a similar role.
• Hands‑on experience reviewing, coordinating, and managing commercial contracts in a corporate environment.
• Experience collaborating with cross‑functional teams and internal business partners.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and Outlook, as well as Adobe Acrobat.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and time‑management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.
• Ability to handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion.
