Fieldwire is seeking a proactive, commercially minded Paralegal to join our growing Contracts & Legal Operations team. This is a broad, high-impact role that spans commercial contracts, procurement, office administration, and operational legal matters. You will be a key interface between our customers, vendors, and internal teams — managing contracts end-to-end, supporting deal deployment, and helping scale our operational infrastructure.

The primary responsibilities for this role include: 

• Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements including customer contracts, NDAs, vendor agreements, procurement terms, and amendments

• Review terms and conditions to identify and address risks across financial terms, acceptance criteria, delivery requirements, warranty, IP, termination, indemnification, and all other material risk areas; recommend mitigation strategies 
• Plug into deployment efforts: structure contracts, pricing frameworks, and operational setup for new customer and partner engagements 
• Propose and develop scalable solutions to improve contracting efficiency — including template management, playbook development, and automation 
• Collaborate with business units (Sales, Finance, Product) and legal team members to streamline contract management processes and drive continuous improvement 
• Implement and administer the CLM platform (Summize) — including redline workflows, approval routing, Salesforce integration, and automated tracking 
• Support procurement activities: evaluate vendor terms, track renewal schedules, manage pricing insights across the vendor portfolio 
• Assist with and drive internal scaling initiatives including office lease management, office expansion, and international operational setup 
• Handle office operations matters including HQ building operations support, lease administration, and vendor/facilities management 
• Advise on a variety of legal matters including information security and compliance, intellectual property rights, and data privacy — including negotiating data protection agreements (DPAs) and answering data privacy queries 
• Maintain familiarity with CLM and security tools relevant to contract governance and compliance 
• Assist with and drive internal initiatives such as DOD compliance support, risk management activities, and audit preparation 
• Monitor regulatory and contractual obligations; proactively flag upcoming milestones, renewals, and risks to relevant stakeholders 

Core qualifications and experience: 

• Bachelor's degree and paralegal certificate from an ABA-approved programme, or equivalent legal training 
• 3+ years of paralegal or contracts experience, ideally in a SaaS, technology, or fast-growth company 
• Direct experience with a variety of legal matters including strategic business agreements, information security and compliance, IP, and data privacy (including negotiating DPAs) 
• Strong working knowledge of commercial contract structures, risk identification, and mitigation strategies 
• Experience with CLM platforms and/or security/compliance tools (e.g. Summize, Ironclad, DocuSign) 
• Familiarity with Salesforce or equivalent CRM and how contracts integrate with deal workflows 
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to explain complex legal concepts clearly to business stakeholders 
• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams independently 
• High level of integrity, discretion, and attention to detail 
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, scaling environment with evolving processes 

And if you have any of the following, we REALLY want you to apply today! 

• Versatile self-starter — comfortable picking up any topic as it arises, from security questionnaires to ad-hoc compliance or legal requests, and running with it independently 
• Experience with office lease administration and facilities management 
• Familiarity with DOD compliance requirements or government contracting standards 
• Knowledge of international operations, entity setup, or cross-border contracting 
• Exposure to construction industry contracts, lien waivers, or project-based procurement
