Legal Counsel

About the company

The company is a global leader in workforce analytics, insider threat detection, data loss prevention (DLP), and business process optimization. We help organizations of all sizes protect sensitive data, ensure compliance, and optimize workforce performance. Our platform is trusted by enterprise clients across financial services, healthcare, government, and technology sectors worldwide.

About the Role

The company is growing rapidly, and so is the legal work required to support that growth. Our General Counsel manages a high volume of enterprise contracts, vendor agreements, compliance requirements, and commercial negotiations across North America, EMEA, and APAC. We are looking for a highly organized, proactive Law Clerk or Paralegal to serve as her right hand, taking ownership of operational legal tasks, enabling faster contract throughput, and ensuring no ball gets dropped.

This is a high visibility role in a lean, fast-moving legal function. You will work closely with the GC on everything from first pass contract review to research, documentation, and cross-functional coordination with Sales, Finance, and HR.

Maintain and organize the contract repository; ensure executed agreements are filed, version-controlled, and accessible

Coordinate with outside counsel: prepare documents, manage communications, and track billing
