Job description

We saved the Legal Assistant spot at StartupForge for someone who treats KYC like a question worth asking again every Costa Mesa, CA morning. The proposition holds together — $88,000 - $131,000, 4 years, a CA base, and ownership the rest of the market rarely grants.

Key Responsibilities

• Read a Legal Citation system you didn't build and improve it anyway
• Push back, respectfully, when a Brief Writing shortcut will cost us later
• Carry the KYC thread across three time zones and two tools
• Notice when a general metric is lying and dig in
• Balance independent work with effective freelance team collaboration

What You'll Bring

• Mid-level-caliber judgment about when to escape and when to absorb
• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a freelance project
• Familiarity with the rhythms of a transparent freelance team
• Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality
• A history of leaving general processes better than you found them
• Prior experience working on-site in Costa Mesa, CA, or willingness to relocate

StartupForge began as a side project in Costa Mesa and grew into the hands-dirty platform thousands of general users now rely on. The fastest way to earn standing at StartupForge is to make a teammate's hard problem disappear.

In return for your Deposition Preparation expertise, you'll earn $88,000 - $131,000 along with 401(k) matching and flexible remote options.

Interviews for Costa Mesa, CA candidates are being booked throughout the month.
