Senior Corporate Paralegal

About the role

Everlaw's Legal team is a tight-knit, high-impact group that supports every corner of the business. We are hiring a Senior Corporate Paralegal to be a core operational backbone for the team — owning the recurring "machinery" of corporate, compliance, and policy work, and providing flexible support to commercial and litigation matters as they arise.

This is a full-time exempt position based in our Oakland, CA office with a hybrid work schedule: in office M/W/Th with the option to work from home Tu/Fr.

• Corporate Compliance Program

  • Help operate Everlaw's Corporate Compliance Program, including administering the Everlaw Integrity Line.
  • Coordinate annual compliance deliverables.
  • Support third-party risk and sanctions programs.
  • Support Everlaw's Risk Assessment and Management Policy.

• Policies, Training & Awareness

  • Partner with People for compliance and policy training and to keep training materials current and effective.

• Contract Management & General Legal Support (as needed)

  • Provide backup support to the Senior Legal Operations & Contracts Manager during peak periods or absences.
  • Support DSAR intake and tracking, DPA and BAA administration, and other privacy / commercial workflows as capacity allows.

About You

• 5+ years of paralegal experience, including meaningful in-house experience at a private, venture-backed, or pre-IPO company or substantive corporate paralegal experience at a law firm supporting emerging growth and venture-backed clients.
• Working knowledge of Delaware corporate governance, Board and committee mechanics, and private-company equity administration (Carta or comparable platform).
• Strong policy and document management instincts: version control, approval workflows, clear writing, and disciplined recordkeeping.
• Excellent project management, organization, and follow-through; able to run multiple recurring workstreams in parallel without dropping deadlines.
• Sound judgment around confidentiality, privilege, and when to escalate.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication; comfort working directly with executives, directors, investors, and outside counsel.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; paralegal certificate preferred.
• Notary commission (or willingness to obtain) is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with corporate compliance programs and frameworks (FCPA/UK Bribery Act, OFAC sanctions screening, whistleblower hotlines, third-party due diligence).
• Experience with Carta.
• Experience supporting UK entity administration or coordinating with non-U.S. outside counsel.
• Experience with privacy program operations (GDPR/CCPA), DSAR handling, or vendor DPAs.
