The opportunity
Work as part of the client team
Nexteam is seeking a detail-oriented paralegal and operations professional to work directly with a client’s cofounders and team. The role combines legal documentation, contract organization, project coordination and practical operational ownership. You should be comfortable raising issues and distinguishing your own assessment from matters requiring legal confirmation.
Your responsibilities
What you will own
The core responsibilities we are recruiting for:
Drafting and review
Draft and edit agreements, review existing documents and flag conflicting terms, missing information or issues requiring legal confirmation.
Document systems
Keep contracts, records, Slack and Google Workspace organized with clear filing and tracking processes.
Operations and coordination
Manage projects, vendor research, deadlines and follow-ups so responsibilities and next steps remain visible.
Communication and compliance
Keep the team informed of progress and blockers, produce polished documents and help uphold internal data-security and compliance processes.
Your experience
What we are looking for
Use concrete examples from your own work to show the following:
Relevant legal support
Experience drafting or editing agreements and reviewing documents. Be specific about work completed independently and work completed with legal guidance.
Operational ownership
Ability to manage tasks, documentation and multiple stakeholders with accuracy and consistent follow-through.
Professional English
Strong written communication and document formatting, with clear and responsive day-to-day updates.
Sound judgment
Recognize issues, suggest improvements and escalate questions that need qualified legal review.
Working together
Location and availability
This is a remote role supporting a client team. Share your location, time zone, available working hours and earliest start date. Working-hour overlap and engagement terms will be confirmed during selection.
