[Hiring] Paralegal @Swiftly

Role Description

This is the only role at Swiftly dedicated to legal work, which makes it unusually broad and unusually visible. You'll own the day-to-day legal and compliance function end to end:

• Contracts and NDAs
• Business license renewals
• Insurance
• The steady stream of documentation our customers require before they'll sign or pay.

This is an individual contributor role reporting to the CFO. You will not be doing this alone or without support. You will have access to both the CFO and outside legal counsel for anything beyond the scope of a paralegal role.

The ideal candidate manages routine work with confidence and autonomy, but has the judgment to ask for guidance on anything uncertain rather than assume. If you take ownership, embrace variety, and care about accuracy, this role is for you.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of paralegal and contracts experience, ideally at a technology or SaaS company.
• Hands-on contract experience, including reviewing and redlining NDAs and commercial agreements against a playbook.
• Working knowledge of business license and entity compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
• Familiarity with commercial insurance concepts, certificates of insurance, and contractual insurance requirements.
• Exceptional organization and follow-through: you own the deadline calendar, and nothing quietly expires.
• Sound judgment about scope: you know what you can handle, what needs counsel, and you're comfortable saying so.
• Clear, direct communication with sales reps, executives, customers, and attorneys alike.
• Comfort operating independently in a role with no template and no predecessor to lean on.
• Paralegal certificate, or a bachelor's degree with equivalent practical experience.

Requirements

• Experience with public sector, government agency, or enterprise procurement processes.
• Exposure to data privacy frameworks or security questionnaires and audit support (SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA).
• Notary commission or willingness to obtain one.

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Equity compensation for every employee
• Medical, Dental and Vision
• Retirement with Employer Match
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• Home office setup reimbursement
• Monthly cell/internet reimbursement
• Monthly "Be Well" stipend
• Flexible PTO with a recommended minimum
• Flexible work environment
• 16 paid holidays, including holidays in months without US national holidays
• 12 fully paid weeks of leave for childbirth/adoption
