Summary
We’re looking for a Senior Corporate Paralegal to own Anaconda’s corporate, equity, and entity operations as the company grows.
You will be the go-to person for equity administration, subsidiary management, board and corporate records, and the company’s insurance program. You will also support our employment legal work and take on special projects wherever the business needs you. Your work will touch every part of the company: Finance, Tax, People, and the executive team. Employees will come to you directly with questions about their equity, and you’ll help implement—and further develop—our playbook for those responses and for more of our corporate practices going forward.
We want someone who operates independently, cares about getting details right, and fixes problems before anyone asks. No task is too big or too small for this person. You will spot what could work better, build the fix, and keep moving. This is a chance to build and scale core legal infrastructure at a company at the center of AI.
What You'll Do
Equity Administration
The equity administration portion of this role is deeply cross-functional and relies on you to be a stakeholder who works closely with Finance and People teams, which have critical voices in all things equity. You will serve as the primary responsible individual and administrator of Carta for day-to-day work. You will keep the cap table, equity plans, and all equity records accurate and audit-ready at all times.
Manage the full equity lifecycle, including grant preparation and board approvals, award agreements, exercises, vesting, terminations, cancellations, and post-termination exercise tracking.
Partner closely with People, Finance, and Tax on equity matters, including grants, 409A valuation coordination, equity expense reporting, compliance, blue sky filings, equity reporting and disclosures, tax reporting and withholding, and year-end equity filings.
Act as the first point of contact for employee equity questions. You will write clear, accurate, and approachable emails that help employees understand their equity.
Support equity-related work for acquisitions and other corporate transactions, including assumed or converted awards and cap table integration.
Keep equity-related policies, processes, and templates current, and build documentation that scales as the company grows.
Subsidiary and Entity Management
Own documentation and compliance for all Anaconda subsidiaries, domestic and international. This covers formations, annual filings, good standing, foreign qualifications, registered agents, director and officer changes, and dissolutions.
Maintain an accurate, centralized entity management system and organizational chart.
Support entity integration for acquired businesses, working with Finance, Tax, and outside counsel.
Coordinate with local counsel and service providers on international entity requirements.
Board and Corporate Governance
Draft board and stockholder consents, resolutions, and minutes for Anaconda, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Help prepare board meetings, including materials, logistics, and follow-up on approvals and action items.
Maintain complete, organized corporate records and minute books. You will keep records ready for financings, audits, diligence, and other corporate events.
Support corporate transactions, financings, and diligence requests, including building and maintaining data rooms.
Insurance
Manage the company’s insurance program end to end, working with our broker and Finance on renewals, coverage reviews, applications, and policy documentation.
Keep a current inventory of policies, coverage limits, and renewal dates.
Issue certificates of insurance and respond to customer and vendor insurance requirements.
Coordinate notices of circumstances and claims with the broker and carriers.
Employment Law Support
Support the Legal team and People team on employment matters, including policy and handbook updates, separation and settlement documentation, leave and accommodation questions, and multi-state and international employment compliance.
Track employment law developments that may affect Anaconda’s distributed workforce and flag them to the Legal team.
Assist with employment-related documentation, research, and record-keeping.
Special Projects and Continuous Improvement
Take on special projects across the Legal team and the broader business, with a willingness to roll up your sleeves wherever needed.
Proactively identify gaps, inefficiencies, and manual processes, then design and build better solutions without waiting for direction.
Use AI tools to speed up drafting, research, record-keeping, and recurring workflows. You will build reusable AI-enabled processes that create leverage for the Legal team.
Your Impact Will Be Measured Through
Accuracy and audit-readiness of the cap table, equity records, and corporate records, with minimal corrections or follow-up requests from auditors, investors, or counterparties.
Timely, accurate execution of equity transactions and board approvals, including grant turnaround time.
Quality, clarity, and responsiveness of employee-facing equity communications.
Complete, current subsidiary compliance with no missed filings or lapses in good standing.
Timely insurance renewals and fast turnaround on certificates and customer insurance requests.
Measurable improvements to legal operations through process redesign, automation, and AI-enabled workflows.
Trusted, effective partnerships with People, Finance, Tax, and the broader Legal team.
What You Need
6+ years of corporate paralegal experience, including meaningful time in-house at a venture-backed or high-growth technology company or at a law firm supporting emerging-growth companies.
Extensive, hands-on experience administering equity in Carta, including grants, exercises, terminations, and cap table maintenance.
Solid working knowledge of equity compensation, including stock option plans, ISOs and NSOs, RSUs, 409A valuations, and related tax and securities considerations.
Experience drafting board and stockholder consents and maintaining corporate records for multiple entities.
Experience managing subsidiary compliance, including international entities.
Exceptional attention to detail and a track record of producing accurate work under tight deadlines.
Strong written communication skills and comfort working directly with employees at every level on sensitive topics such as equity and compensation.
A self-starter mindset: you work independently, spot areas for improvement, and get to work without being asked.
A positive, team-first attitude and a willingness to take on any task, big or small.
Experience using AI tools in your day-to-day work, or a strong interest in adopting them.
Paralegal certificate and/or bachelor’s degree preferred.
You embody our values: Curious by Default, Build Together, Own It, and Lead with Guts and Heart, and our behaviors: Clarity, Care and Candor.
You care deeply about fostering an environment where people of all backgrounds and experiences can flourish.

You have built AI-enabled workflows, prompts, or tools that measurably increased your own or your team’s capacity.
You have worked in a fast-paced startup environment.
