POSITION OVERVIEW:
Insomnia Cookies is looking for a Paralegal / Legal Assistant who thrives on order in the middle of controlled chaos - someone who can juggle contracts, compliance, real estate, and the occasional fire drill without dropping a single ball.

What You'll Do:
- Provide administrative and legal research support across contracts, real estate, employment law, policy, compliance matters and more
- Own project and task oversight for the Legal team - spotting action items, managing them to completion, and following up so nothing slips

- Manage a busy inbox: triage incoming communications, draft responses, flag what's urgent, and make sure high-priority items get timely attention
- Coordinate legal workstreams including document management, signature logistics, and matter tracking across active transactions
- Draft, organize, and manage legal documents and correspondence - NDAs, transaction documents, and communications with external counsel and counterparties
- Track deadlines, deliverables, and commitments across every active matter
- Support internal investigations, employee disputes, and litigation as needed
Qualifications:
- An undergraduate degree (JD or bar admission is not required for this role)
- 1–3 years of experience as a paralegal, legal assistant, or in a related legal operations role, at a law firm or in-house legal department
- Sharp organizational instincts and an eye for detail - you catch what others miss, and nothing falls through the cracks on your watch
- Sound judgment about when to run with something and when to loop someone in
- Clear, precise written and verbal communication
- The ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams at once without letting quality slip
- Self-direction - you manage a big workload and hit deadlines without needing to be chased
- Excellent follow-through and responsiveness, and you're comfortable working with people at every level of the organization
- Comfort handling confidential and privileged information with discretion and sound judgment
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and e-signature platforms like DocuSign
- Experience with contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools is a plus
The Perks:
- Hybrid Work Environment
- Opportunity to be a major part of Insomnia Cookies’ next chapter of growth
