Job Overview
We are looking for a Senior Corporate Paralegal with 6-10+ years of experience to join a small, high-trust boutique law firm at the intersection of law and finance.

- Coordinating and managing closings for venture financings (SAFEs, convertible notes, priced rounds) including signature packages and cap table maintenance
- Designing and improving internal processes, closing checklists, and precedent libraries
- Serving as a trusted coordination point between attorneys, clients, and counterparties
- Eventually expanding to support funds and debt closings as the role grows

- 6+ years of corporate paralegal experience at a law firm or sophisticated legal environment (not someone who is "super green")
- Hands-on experience with venture/emerging company transactions — SAFEs, priced rounds, cap tables, and equity documentation
- Ability to work independently with high autonomy and minimal instruction — scrappy and entrepreneurial mindset
- Strong corporate governance skills including entity formation, maintenance, and filings
- Comfortable managing multiple matters simultaneously in a fast-paced, lean team environment
