Paralegal Contractor

About the Position

We're hiring a part-time Paralegal Contractor (US, remote; Idaho a plus) to support Kelvin's legal team on an ongoing, non-caseload basis, think contract templates, playbooks, and NDA/MSA review, not litigation. This is a flat-rate contractor role: $2,500–$4,000/month regardless of hours worked, with the workload estimated around 20 hours a week on average, though it'll vary week to week. Reports to Meredith Gittings, Director of Legal.

Responsibilities

• Review and update Kelvin's contract templates to keep them accurate, consistent, and aligned with current legal and business requirements and changes.
• Create and maintain playbooks that document how common contract types and clauses should be negotiated and reviewed and keep track of commercial decisions from leadership.
• Review NDAs, MSAs, and other incoming legal documents from clients and prospective partners, including running redline comparisons between versions and flagging deviations from Kelvin's standard positions.
• Clean up and organize internal legal files and folders so documents are easy to find and version control stays clear.
• Review and help update internal policies, ensuring they're current and consistently formatted.
• Take on related ad hoc legal-administrative requests as they come up during the engagement.

Requirements

• 3+ years of paralegal experience, ideally in a corporate/in-house or transactional setting rather than litigation.
• Prior experience working at or with a B2B SaaS/technology company, comfortable operating in a fast-moving, cloud-based environment.
• Hands-on experience reviewing and redlining NDAs and other commercial contracts.
• Strong organizational skills: comfortable building and maintaining templates, playbooks, and a clean filing system.
• Clear, precise written communication and careful attention to detail.
• Able to work independently, prioritize a variable workload, and turn around requests reliably without daily oversight.
• Proactive and comfortable working cross-functionally: you'll partner closely with sales and tech, and should feel empowered to reach out directly to those teams when something comes up rather than waiting to be told.

Nice to Have

• Availability to occasionally help with time-sensitive matters from our Australian office is a nice-to-have, not a requirement.
• Professional experience with efficient and effective AI tool use in daily workflow (e.g., Claude) to speed up drafting, review, and research.
• Very strong contract and document-management tool experience (e.g., Word/Google Docs redlining, shared drives, DocuSign).
• Paralegal certificate or equivalent practical experience a bonus.
• Experience with large industrial customers is a plus.

We Offer

• Fixed monthly rate ranging from $2,500 to $4,000, depending on experience and profile.
• Flexible workload averaging around 20 hours per week, with some weeks being lighter and others busier.
• Regular check-ins to align on upcoming work and priorities.
