* Managing your own allocation of agreements from start to finish
* Acting as a consistent point of contact for internal stakeholders
* Working within established templates, processes and negotiation playbooks
* Making sensible commercial calls within agreed parameters
* Supporting on additional commercial legal matters as the contract progresses, where needed
The ideal candidate will have:
* Prior experience reviewing and negotiating CDAs, NDAs or confidentiality agreements
* A paralegal background within an in-house legal team, law firm or alternative legal services environment
* Strong commercial awareness and confidence handling stakeholder queries
* The ability to manage a busy workflow independently and accurately
* Excellent attention to detail and a practical, solutions-focused approach
* Availability for a mid-April start
This is an excellent opportunity for a commercial paralegal seeking a longer-term remote contract with a world-leading life sciences organisation.
