This newly created position sits within our Law and Compliance Department, supporting a fast‑paced legal team that operates across a complex insurance enterprise with many legal entities.

You will work at the intersection of corporate governance, insurance regulation, and transactional support. That includes drafting board materials and resolutions, preparing holding company act filings and statutory insurance schedules, maintaining the digital records behind our director and officer appointments, and supporting M&A diligence and closings as we continue to grow. Your work will directly enable senior leaders, board members, and regulators to make informed decisions with confidence.

• Support board meeting preparation, maintain corporate minutes books and related databases and file shares, and assist with drafting of board materials, including reports, resolutions, minutes and written consents, as well as state insurance department regulatory filings (e.g., holding company act filings).
• Conduct research on corporate governance and insurance regulatory requirements.
• Handle annual and ad‑hoc regulatory filings, such as Certificate of Authority renewals, annual reports, and notifications of changes in officers and directors.
• Maintain digital database of director and officer appointments across numerous legal entities, and assist with completion of biographical affidavits and fingerprinting requirements.
• Respond to internal and external auditor requests for corporate and regulatory documentation.
• Assist with ad‑hoc projects, special project work, and various corporate governance, corporate secretarial and corporate regulatory initiatives.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor's degree and/or paralegal certificate (preferred).
• Minimum of 3–4 years of corporate paralegal experience, preferably in the insurance industry.
• Experience with state insurance department regulatory and licensing filings (preferred).
• Strong experience with corporate governance work, including preparation of board of directors meeting materials, written resolutions and consents, meeting minutes, etc.
• Strong communication and organizational skills; superior attention to detail required.
• Team player; collaborative, enthusiastic, results‑oriented.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) and online legal research tools; experience with electronic board portals such as Diligent (preferred).

Benefits Highlights

• Eligibility for the Company’s comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plan options for employees working 30hours or more per week.
• Basic and supplemental life insurance, short and long‑term disability.
• Immediate access to the Employee Assistance Program and wellness programs for all employees.
• Eligibility for the Company’s 401(k) plan, with matching contributions by the Company.
