About Teramind

Teramind is a global leader in workforce analytics, insider threat detection, data loss prevention (DLP), and business process optimization. We help organizations of all sizes protect sensitive data, ensure compliance, and optimize workforce performance. Our platform is trusted by enterprise clients across financial services, healthcare, government, and technology sectors worldwide.

About the Role

Teramind is growing rapidly, and so is the legal work required to support that growth. Our General Counsel manages a high volume of enterprise contracts, vendor agreements, compliance requirements, and commercial negotiations across North America, EMEA, and APAC. We are looking for a highly organized, proactive Law Clerk or Paralegal to serve as her right hand, taking ownership of operational legal tasks, enabling faster contract throughput, and ensuring no ball gets dropped.

This is a high visibility role in a lean, fast-moving legal function. You will work closely with the GC on everything from first pass contract review to research, documentation, and cross-functional coordination with Sales, Finance, and HR.

Key Responsibilities
  • Review, draft, and redline commercial agreements including MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, vendor contracts, and SaaS subscription agreements
  • Support the General Counsel in managing the contract pipeline: tracking status, deadlines, open items, and follow-ups
  • Conduct initial review of incoming customer and vendor contracts; flag non-standard terms and escalate as appropriate
  • Maintain and organize the contract repository; ensure executed agreements are filed, version-controlled, and accessible
  • Coordinate with outside counsel: prepare documents, manage communications, and track billing
  • Support responses to fraud inquiries, subpoenas, regulatory requests, and government correspondence
  • Assist with employment-related documentation including offer letters, severance agreements, and policy updates in coordination with HR
  • Conduct legal research on topics including data privacy, cross-border regulatory requirements, and SaaS commercial norms
  • Support the GC in educating internal stakeholders (particularly Sales) on contract standards, liability positions, and acceptable terms
  • Assist in maintaining and updating legal playbooks, contract templates, and standard operating procedures
  • Manage and organize legal holds and related documentation

Qualifications
Required:
  • Paralegal certificate, law degree, or J.D. (non-practicing or pre-bar)
  • 2–5 years of experience in a legal, law firm, or in-house corporate legal environment
  • Strong working knowledge of commercial contract structures and common SaaS agreement terms
  • Experience reviewing, redlining, and negotiating NDAs, MSAs, and vendor agreements
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication; ability to translate complex legal concepts for non-legal audiences
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
  • Proficiency with contract management tools, document management systems, and Microsoft Office / Google Workspace
Preferred:
  • Experience supporting a General Counsel or senior attorney in a tech or SaaS company
  • Exposure to data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2 context, HIPAA)
  • Familiarity with cross-border commercial agreements (EMEA, APAC)
  • Experience with e-signature platforms (DocuSign, Adobe Sign) and CLM tools
  • Background in or exposure to cybersecurity, DLP, or workforce analytics industries
What Success Looks Like in Year 1
  • Contract turnaround time reduced from 3–5 days to same-day or next-day for standard agreements
  • GC's time freed from first pass review and administrative coordination, redirected to strategic legal matters
  • Outside counsel spend meaningfully reduced
  • Contract repository fully organized and maintained
  • Sales team supported with faster legal responses, reducing deal friction and limiting exposure to unfavorable commercial terms
