Corporate and Regulatory Paralegal

Check is a payroll-as-a-service API that lets you embed payroll directly in your vertical SaaS, HR, or time-tracking platform. Our API abstracts away the complexities of running payroll: tax calculation, remittance, and filing, plus the movement of money between companies and employees. This enables companies to easily build fully integrated payroll products to offer to their customers.

The Legal and Compliance team wears many hats at Check, including negotiating and managing our partner and vendor relationships, along with advising internal and external stakeholders on the myriad regulations that govern payroll processing and money movement. We also manage all legal matters related to the commercial, business operations, and product aspects of Check's business.

We're looking for a Corporate and Regulatory Paralegal to join our team and own critical aspects of Check's Legal function.

In this role, you will:

• Draft contracts and other legal documents
• Maintain Check's Contract Lifecycle Management system and manage all incoming and active contracts, including renewals
• Manage Check's employee equity, business registrations, and other business and legal processes
• Maintain Check's legal document database and assist with department's knowledge management
• Communicate with investors, banks, outside attorneys and accountants, and other key entities on business and regulatory matters
• Track legal spend and implement process improvements
• Stay abreast of regulatory developments to ensure that Check is meeting its obligations
• Own communications and information distribution from the Legal team to the broader company
• Co-manage Legal-adjacent projects alongside our People, Finance, Partnerships, and Data Security teams

Many backgrounds could fit this role, but ideal candidates have:

• 3-5 years of experience as an in-house paralegal or in legal operations
• Ability to own and manage numerous projects at once in a fast-moving environment
• Excellent writing skills for both internal and external documents
• Meticulous attention to detail and the ability to act as the ultimate source of truth for legal records and processes
• Willingness and ability to learn and expand skills
• An ownership mentality and flexibility to take on a broad range of projects to serve the company's needs
