Zusammenfassung

VitalSource is hiring a Paralegal/Legal Operations Specialist to join our Legal team in Raleigh, NC in a hybrid role. You will build the legal operations function from the ground up, owning the full lifecycle from triage to post-signature filing and using AI to draft, redline, and track contracts.

You will report to VitalSource's General Counsel, support outside counsel engagements, maintain contract records, monitor deadlines, and drive KPIs with data-enabled insights.

Qualifikationen

• 4+ years as a paralegal or legal assistant.
• Experience administering contract lifecycle processes (DocuSign or equivalent e-signature platforms).
• Experience with contract lifecycle management (CLM) software preferred (Ironclad, ContractPodAI, Conga or similar).
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Paralegal Studies, Legal Studies, or related field.
• Comfort with AI-assisted legal tools.

Aufgaben

• Triage and route incoming legal requests, applying judgment to assess urgency, complexity, and whether something needs escalation.
• Manage the full contract lifecycle: intake, preparation, routing for review, DocuSign workflows, execution tracking, and post-signature filing.
• Create and maintain accurate contract records in our contract management system, ensuring data integrity across all stages.
• Monitor contract deadlines - expiration dates, renewals, and key milestones - and proactively alert stakeholders in advance.
• Coordinate administrative tasks for outside counsel engagements: scheduling, document transmission, invoice tracking, and processing.
• Generate initial drafts of routine contracts, templates, and NDAs using AI tools from approved playbooks; proofread and refine for legal review.
• Prepare preliminary responses to counterparty redlines using AI, flagging deviations from standard terms and surfacing issues that need attorney judgment.
• Support legal operations reporting by using AI tools to compile data on contract cycle times, request volume, and other KPIs.
• Maintain legal department records across shared systems and ensure organized document management.
• Support special projects and cross-functional initiatives as assigned.
