As a member of our legal team, you’ll be entrusted with sensitive information, complex projects, and direct interactions with key internal and external stakeholders. Ideal candidates would be based in DC or NYC; we will consider remote candidates for the right fit.

- Build and maintain internal legal knowledge repositories (e.g., contract playbooks, clause libraries, FAQs)
- Triage and manage legal requests from internal teams via intake forms, Slack bots, or ticketing systems
- Manage vendor performance for the legal team

Risk Management

- Gather documentation and prepare response materials for audits and regulatory filings
- Manage domestic and international lending and money transmitter licensing, registration, and renewal workflows
- Support our compliance team as needed with the rollout of compliance policies

## What we're looking for

- At least 4 years of experience as a corporate or commercial paralegal in an AmLaw 200 law firm or a mature in-house legal department
- Demonstrated ability to take full ownership of complex projects, including making independent decisions and managing ambiguity
- Exceptional organization, a detail-oriented approach, and strong judgment and prioritization skills
- Proven comfort with confidentiality and discretion
- Ability to communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders, including senior executives and legal professionals
- Creative problem-solving skills and a solutions-first mindset
- Comfort in navigating a rapidly changing environment with multiple moving parts and priorities
- Proficiency with tools like GSuite or Office365, Adobe Acrobat Pro, DocuSign, data rooms, and contract management software (e.g., SpotDraft or Ironclad)
- Based in NYC or willingness to travel to our NYC headquarters up to 25% of the time

## Nice to have, but not mandatory

- Experience in fintech, blockchain, startup, or financial services environments
- Background in state licensing requirements, corporate formation, and financial onboarding
- Exposure to startup legal operations and cross-functional collaboration
- Active New York Notary Public commission
