As a Corporate Paralegal, you will provide day‑to‑day support to the Corporate Legal team across contracts, corporate governance and M&A matters, helping to run the “engine room” of the function so our lawyers can focus on high‑impact, strategic work.

You will review and draft NDAs, vendor contracts and other corporate documents, maintain accurate entity and governance records, support due diligence and documentation on M&A transactions, and help keep our policies, manuals and procedures up to date in a fast‑growing, global fintech environment.

This role is based in San Francisco.

• Provide day‑to‑day support to the Corporate Legal team on a wide range of corporate, commercial and governance matters, including triaging and tracking legal requests from stakeholders across the business.

• Review, draft and manage routine agreements and legal documents, including NDAs, vendor and procurement contracts, services agreements, and other non‑revenue commercial contracts, using templates and playbooks provided by Corporate Legal.

• Assist with the drafting, formatting and maintenance of compliance manuals, corporate policies, procedures and playbooks owned or supported by Corporate Legal, ensuring these are version‑controlled, centrally stored and communicated to relevant teams.

• Support corporate governance and entity management activities, including preparing board and shareholder resolutions, maintaining corporate records and registers, coordinating routine filings, and helping keep global entity information (e.g., directors, officers, authorised signatories) accurate and up to date.

• Assist the Corporate Legal team in M&A and strategic transactions by helping with due diligence (collecting and organizing documents, reviewing contracts and corporate records), preparing ancillary documentation, and coordinating execution and closing processes under lawyer supervision.

• Support legal operations initiatives, including contract lifecycle workflows (e.g., Ironclad, DocuSign), intake and matter management, and basic reporting on volumes and SLAs, while identifying opportunities to streamline processes and increase self‑serve across the business.
