We're looking for an experienced and autonomous Senior Paralegal to support a high-volume, fast-moving litigation docket. This role is primarily focused on litigation support, with meaningful responsibility for litigation operations and reporting. The person in this role will manage substantive paralegal work across a range of matters — including case management, discovery coordination, legal holds, subpoenas, and related litigation support — while also helping improve the processes, tools, and workflows that support the team's effectiveness and scale. The ideal candidate brings curiosity, a growth mindset, and a willingness to learn quickly in new or unfamiliar areas, alongside strong judgment, a high degree of ownership, and a creative, solutions-oriented approach. They are motivated by continuous improvement and by finding better ways to support the team as litigation processes, tools, and priorities evolve. They are energized by litigation work and by helping attorneys translate complex facts and process into organized, actionable support. They can execute high-quality litigation support work while also creating structure, maintaining critical operating systems and resources, and owning recurring litigation operations work that helps the team function effectively at scale.
