[Hiring] Paralegal @Kelvin Inc

Role Description

We're hiring a part-time Paralegal (US, remote; Idaho a plus) to support Kelvin's legal team on an ongoing, non-caseload basis, think contract templates, playbooks, and NDA/MSA review, not litigation. This is a flat-rate contractor role: $2,500–$4,000/month regardless of hours worked, with the workload estimated around 20 hours a week on average, though it'll vary week to week. Reports to Meredith Gittings, Director of Legal.

Kelvin is a Series B, fast-moving technology company, and our legal team is looking for a part-time paralegal to support our internal legal operations. This isn't a caseload-driven role; it's ongoing legal support:

• Keeping our contract templates and playbooks current
• Reviewing incoming NDAs and other legal documents
• Helping keep our legal files and internal policies organized and up to date

Like everyone here, you may be expected to work cross-functionally rather than staying inside a narrowly defined legal lane. Kelvin builds software that lets industrial operations, in mining, energy, manufacturing, and other continuous-process industries, act on their own real-time data through the control systems they already run, with guardrails and human oversight built in.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of paralegal experience, ideally in a corporate/in-house or transactional setting rather than litigation
• Prior experience working at or with a B2B SaaS/technology company, comfortable operating in a fast-moving, cloud-based environment
• Hands-on experience reviewing and redlining NDAs and other commercial contracts
• Strong organizational skills: comfortable building and maintaining templates, playbooks, and a clean filing system
• Clear, precise written communication and careful attention to detail
• Able to work independently, prioritize a variable workload, and turn around requests reliably without daily oversight
• Proactive and comfortable working cross-functionally: you'll partner closely with sales and tech
• Availability to occasionally help with time-sensitive matters from our Australian office is a nice-to-have, not a requirement
• Professional experience with efficient and effective AI tool use in daily workflow (e.g., Claude) to speed up drafting, review, and research
• Very strong contract and document-management tool experience (e.g., Word/Google Docs redlining, shared drives, DocuSign)
• Paralegal certificate or equivalent practical experience a bonus
• Experience with large industrial customers is a plus

Requirements

• Review and update Kelvin's contract templates to keep them accurate, consistent, and aligned with current legal and business requirements and changes
• Create and maintain playbooks that document how common contract types and clauses should be negotiated and reviewed and keep track of commercial decisions from leadership
• Review NDAs, MSAs, and other incoming legal documents from clients and prospective partners, including running redline comparisons between versions and flagging deviations from Kelvin's standard positions
• Clean up and organize internal legal files and folders so documents are easy to find and version control stays clear
• Review and help update internal policies, ensuring they're current and consistently formatted
• Take on related ad hoc legal-administrative requests as they come up during the engagement

Benefits

• This is a part-time contractor role with a fixed monthly rate rather than hourly billing
• Compensation ranges from $2,500 to $4,000 per month, depending on experience and profile
• Covers availability and delivery across the responsibilities outlined above
• Expected workload to average around 20 hours per week, although this may vary depending on current priorities
• Regular check-ins to align on upcoming work and priorities

Next Steps

Along with your application, please include a short example of a time you stepped in to support an in-house attorney or team in a small, fast-moving tech environment, what the situation was, and how you helped. A cover letter is optional; include one if you'd like, but it's not required.
