About the Role
Build AI is seeking a Founding Paralegal to establish and manage the legal systems supporting the company's operations. This role is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and accessibility of legal records across various entities, employees, contractors, and partners globally. The paralegal will be responsible for building and maintaining contract, entity, and compliance systems, leveraging AI to ensure scalability and efficiency. This is a strategic partner role focused on ensuring the integrity of the company's legal documentation.
Responsibilities
- Own contract administration end to end, including intake, templates, versioning, execution, signature workflows, first-pass review against approved playbooks, and the contract repository
- Maintain international entities and corporate records, including statutory filings, officers and directors, approvals, notarization and legalization, and annual renewals
- Own the global compliance calendar and drive every filing, registration, and renewal to completion
- Own the consent library across countries, including versions, translations, deployment, and supporting records
- Administer outside counsel operations across firms and countries, including engagements, matters, invoices, and spend
- Conduct first-pass legal and regulatory research and organize findings for attorney review
- Build and automate legal systems and workflows so the function scales
- Drive legal projects across Operations, Finance, Data Scaling, Engineering, and Manufacturing
Requirements
- 5+ years of paralegal experience, including in-house experience
- Corporate and entity experience: formations, registrations, statutory filings, corporate records, and working with registered agents and local service providers
- Hands-on contract administration experience, including building or running a repository, template set, and signature process
- Have run a compliance or filing calendar across multiple entities and not missed deadlines
- Exceptional attention to detail, strong written communication and research skills, and good judgment about when to solve something yourself or when a lawyer needs to make the call
- Comfortable building the system while using it — this is Build's first paralegal role, not a seat inside an established legal department, and it is in San Francisco in person
