Who we’re looking for

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. You will work closely with the Director of Operations, Sales, Finance, and IT/Security to ensure Fieldwire's contracting and operational processes are efficient, compliant, and scalable.

What you’ll be doing

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
