Ideal Candidate Profile

The successful candidate will be highly organized, reliable, proactive, and resourceful, with the ability to take ownership of responsibilities and follow matters through to completion. While a legal background is valuable, this position does not necessarily require a practicing attorney or traditional paralegal profile. A candidate who has worked in finance or administration within a corporate senior living organization could be particularly well suited, provided they have demonstrated experience working with contracts, documentation, confidential information, and multiple internal stakeholders. The ideal person will be comfortable asking questions, learning quickly, reviewing detailed agreements, coordinating with attorneys, and ensuring that important legal and contractual matters do not fall through the cracks.
