Responsibilities

• Own the prompt intake and first‑round markup of investment‑related NDAs and related documents, ensuring nothing sits in a queue longer than it should and tight client turnaround times are consistently met.
• Support Carta's US lawyers with first‑round drafting and ad hoc legal work — handling the volume so attorneys can focus on the complexity.
• Set up and coordinate client workflows, manage document portals, and drive contracts through to execution, giving clients a seamless, professional experience at every step.
• Deliver crisp, commercially sound contract support that reflects Carta's reputation for precision — balancing speed with the attention to detail that private capital clients expect.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in a transactional or corporate practice group, or an in‑house commercial legal team, with hands‑on exposure to commercial contracts and investment‑related NDA drafting.
• Ability to work fast and precisely under pressure in high‑volume, deadline‑driven environments, handling competing demands without sacrificing quality.
• Strong grasp of relevant legal concepts and the commercial pragmatism to apply them — knowing when to flag issues and when to execute.
• Clear and concise written and verbal communication skills.
• Self‑starter with a builder’s mindset: takes ownership, identifies inefficiencies, and seeks improvements.
• Familiarity with private capital, fund structures, or investor onboarding workflows (a plus).

• Market‑competitive salary
• Equity for all full‑time roles
