Job description

G MASS are seeking a paralegal or legal entity specialist with fund operations experience to support a buy-side client engagement focused on the structured dissolution and lifecycle management of complex legal entities including SPVs, trusts and funds.

This role sits at the intersection of legal and operational delivery. The successful candidate will work directly alongside the client’s paralegal team to manage entity wind-down processes from initial scoping through to final closure, bringing a legal or paralegal background combined with strong process management capability to a technically complex and client-facing environment.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the end-to-end coordination of legal entity dissolution processes, including SPVs, trusts and funds, working directly alongside the client’s paralegal team to ensure all pre-closure checks are completed accurately and on time.

• Review and interpret constitutional, financial and fund-related legal documentation, supporting paralegals in identifying issues, preparing materials and progressing closure actions across jurisdictions.

• Coordinate across internal teams and external stakeholders to confirm there are no open litigation matters, outstanding obligations or operational blockers preventing entity closure.

• Manage multiple client deliverables simultaneously, maintaining project trackers, leading client status meetings and proactively escalating challenges or risks to timeline.

• Build and maintain strong working relationships with cross-functional teams, third-party vendors and client stakeholders, fostering confidence through consistent communication and delivery.

• Design and implement enhanced workflows where processes require amendment, applying sound legal judgement and adapting to evolving client requirements throughout the project lifecycle.

• Fund experience is essential. Demonstrable exposure to complex fund structures, including SPVs, closed-end funds or similar.

• A paralegal background, or equivalent legal entity / legal operations experience, is strongly preferred. Candidates who have worked closely with legal teams on entity lifecycle or dissolution matters will be well-suited to this role.

• Minimum 2+ years of experience in a legal, paralegal, fund operations or compliance-adjacent role; experience with dissolution or wind-down processes is a strong advantage.

• Familiarity with constitutional and financial documentation across multiple jurisdictions.

• Strong attention to detail, analytical ability and organisational skills.

• Clear communicator, comfortable presenting to clients and senior stakeholders.

• Able to manage competing priorities under pressure, independently and collaboratively.

• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite; advanced Excel preferred.
