We are scaling fast, and our legal team is a critical partner in that growth. We are looking for an experienced paralegal who is intellectually curious, obsessed with efficiency, and eager to help us build a world-class legal function from the ground up. 

You will report directly to our Associate General Counsel and serve as a key operator of our legal department. This role is a combination of high-level legal operations, system architecture, and hands-on execution.

We need someone with a few years of rigorous law firm experience who has "seen it done right" but is now ready to apply that discipline to a fast-moving tech environment. You aren't afraid of the administrative work - you see it as a puzzle to be solved, automated, or optimized. You are constantly testing the latest AI tools to shrink your own workflow, and you thrive when given a blank slate to build a better process.

• Systems Architecture: Take full ownership of our document management (Box) and entity management. We need someone who treats organization as a competitive advantage - not just a filing task.
• AI-First Workflow: You won’t just use AI; you will build the "legal tech stack." We expect you to experiment with LLMs, automation platforms, and legal tech to turn hours of manual work into minutes of high-quality output.
• Operations Scaling: You will help design and implement the playbooks, templates, and SOPs that allow us to scale.
• Full-Cycle Legal Support: You will handle high-volume agreements (NDAs, vendor contracts) and help manage outside counsel billing. You understand the professional rigor required at a top-tier law firm and bring that same quality control to everything you touch at Radar.
• Corporate Housekeeping: Assist with governance, board prep, and IP filings, ensuring our legal infrastructure scales along with our business.

• A "Bias for Action": You have 4-6+ years of experience in a high-intensity environment (large law firm or a fast-paced corporate team). You know how to work fast without sacrificing accuracy.
• Curious & Tech-Forward: You are already using tools like Claude or ChatGPT to draft emails, summarize documents, or write basic scripts. You don’t wait to be told how to use technology - you proactively bring ideas to the table.
• Ownership and Prioritization: You are happy to handle administrative work when it’s needed to move the ball forward, but you are eager to build scalable systems.  You take ownership over your tasks and have excellent ability to prioritize and juggle multiple assignments at once.
• Exceptional Quality Control: You catch the mistakes that others miss. You take pride and ownership in your work product and understand that in a legal function, precision matters.

• 4-6+ years of paralegal, legal operations, or similar legal support experience, ideally in a law firm, large tech company, or other fast-paced in-house environment
• Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills—you're the person who creates the system that everyone else relies on
• Demonstrated experience implementing or managing document management systems
• Experience using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) for professional work and ability to think creatively about AI applications
• Experience with legal tech platforms and with legal AI tools specifically designed for contract review, legal research, or document automation
• Experience reviewing and negotiating NDAs
• Self-starter mentality with ability to work independently and take initiative
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort with ambiguity and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment

• Experience supporting legal departments through scaling phases
• Background in commercial contracts, particularly in B2B SaaS or hardware/software technology companies
• Exposure to IP matters (patents, trademarks, licensing)

• Learn Radar’s mission, technology stack and core values.
• Complete onboarding and security compliance training.
• Review Radar’s MNDA playbook vendor best practices
• Manage DocuSign processes

• Complete a full audit of Box folder structure and document inventor; produce a gap analysis and preliminary recommendations
• Assume full ownership of end-to-end MNDA process, including intake, playbook-based review, redlining, signature routing, and filing
• Manage most legal team administrative tasks and suggest process improvements 

• Partner directly with business to manage most low risk, high volume vendor agreement review
• Undertake a detailed internal assessment culminating in presenting AGC with a proposed legal tech stack recommendation, evaluating AI tools relevant to Radar's current contract volume and pain points
• Develop a legal intake process to manage and prioritize business requests to legal
