What you’ll do

As Paralegal, you’ll take full ownership of the NDA & intake process. You’ll drive NDAs to execution independently, without attorneys needing to be involved. You’ll maintain a centralized legal intake process — a single place where requests come in, get triaged, and get worked — and then hold the rest of the company accountable to using it. You’ll own the signature pipeline end to end: queuing documents, sending them out, and tracking them to completion. This is a highly autonomous role: you’ll be given the outcome we need and trusted to enforce the process to get there, adapting as priorities shift.

This role starts as an individual contributor with real scope across every project at Giga, and there’s a clear path to take on bigger, more complex work as you prove out the process.

Where you’ll work

This role is remote. Travel is light — expect roughly 0–10%, mainly for occasional in-person team time.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end NDA process — draft, negotiate, and drive NDAs to execution independently, escalating to attorneys only on true edge cases.
• Design and own a centralized legal intake process, replacing today’s scattered mix of personal email, Slack channels and DMs, and texts with a single, clear front door for legal requests.
• Triage incoming legal requests — route them appropriately and set expectations on turnaround.
• Enforce the intake process company-wide: when requests bypass it, redirect requesters back into the right workflow, including on Dave’s behalf.
• Manage the full signature pipeline — queue documents, send for e-signature, and track them to completion.
• Maintain and organize the contract repository so agreements are easy to find, track, and report on.
• Partner with attorneys and business teams to keep the legal function organized and responsive as request volume grows.
• Take on larger, higher-complexity projects as you build trust and track record in the role.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience as a paralegal or in a similar legal operations role.
• Experience independently managing NDAs from drafting through execution.
• Experience building, running, or significantly improving a legal intake or triage process.
• Working knowledge of e-signature tools, contract repositories, and contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools.
• Ability to work autonomously with minimal oversight, exercising sound judgment on when to escalate to attorneys.
• Comfortable enforcing process consistently while staying flexible as priorities and workflows shift.

Bonus points

• Paralegal certificate.
• 10+ years of experience in a legal operations or paralegal role.
• Experience standing up legal intake or operations processes from scratch.
• Experience supporting legal teams at a high-growth or fast-paced company.
• Experience preparing legal notes or executive briefs.

Benefits

• Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
• Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
• 401(k) with 4% employer match
• Unlimited PTO
• Parental leave
• Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)

• Monthly team on-sites where all offices come in-person to collaborate

Who we hire

We hire people who thrive in chaos and get sharper under pressure. You don't wait to be told what to do, you spot the gap and fill it. When there's work to be done, you do it. You make decisions with the information you have, move fast, and adjust along the way. We're not looking for perfect; we're looking for people who get things done.
