Coforma is a mission-driven digital product and design firm that partners with government and public-sector organizations to design and build ethical, accessible, human-centered technology services. They provide research, product design, engineering, and strategy focused on healthcare, veterans services, and public-interest programs, helping modernize government services and improve outcomes for communities.

📋 Description

• Expert Legal Research: Conduct comprehensive legal research on laws impacting digital products, including global data privacy laws and regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, and emerging US state laws) and translate complex requirements into practical business guidance. • Contractual & Regulatory Support: Take the first pass at drafting, reviewing, and mitigating risk for MSAs, Terms of Service, and associated agreements and policies, including Data Processing Agreements (DPAs), Partner Agreements, and Business Associate Agreements. • Regulatory Monitoring: Act as the legal team’s radar, monitoring legislative updates, enforcement trends, and security standards to ensure the company remains ahead of compliance curves. • Incident Response Support: Assist counsel with the legal administrative workflows involved in data incident response, investigation, and reporting obligations. • Workflow Optimization: Evaluate, design, and implement scalable processes for the legal team, with a heavy emphasis on maintaining ticketing systems, privacy impact assessments (PIAs), and intake workflows. • Legal Tech Stack Management: Serve as the designer, administrator, and/or subject matter expert for legal tools and Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) systems. • Metrics & Reporting: Define, track, and report on key operational metrics for the legal department to demonstrate value and identify bottlenecks. • Vendor & Budget Support: Assist in managing outside counsel and vendor relationships, including billing, implementation, and tracking spend against the budget. • Compliance Support: Assist with preparation and distribution of annual questionnaires and feedback surveys for compliance trainings, maintain or iterate on compliance policies and processes, and manage the organization’s compliance calendar. • Knowledge Management: Standardize legal knowledge and communications so the information is preserved, accessible, and current. • Data Governance Frameworks: Partner with IT, Security, and Product teams to create and maintain the company’s data mapping, data inventory, and records retention schedules. • Policy Management: Oversee the lifecycle of internal and external compliance policies, ensuring regular reviews, updates, and organization-wide training alignment. • Corporate Governance and Records: Provide research, project management, and regulatory filing support for broader corporate governance efforts, including maintaining secure repositories of corporate records, consents, and compliance certifications. • Insurance Program Support: Facilitate claims reporting to insurance providers and assist with insurance renewals.

🎯 Requirements

• A minimum of 4 years of experience working as a paralegal, legal operations professional, or hybrid of both (preferably within a SaaS company operating in a highly regulated environment). • High Trust: Display discernment in order to operate with a high level of discretion, confidentiality, and legal acumen while remaining a cross-functional collaborator for less sensitive business initiatives. • Privacy Expertise: Demonstrated expertise in data privacy and security frameworks. You know your way around a DPA and understand how data flows through an organization. • Research Skills: Exceptional legal research capabilities using tools like Westlaw, LexisNexis, or relevant regulatory databases. • Corporate Entity Management: Proven expertise in US entity management and corporate administrative and compliance work with deep experience with entity structuring and transactions. • Tech-Savvy Mindset: Experience designing and implementing legal operations tech (CLM, outside counsel spend management, privacy compliance software and systems) and strong familiarity with standard enterprise tools (Slack, Jira, Google Workspace). • Communication: Ability to distill highly dense legal information into clear, actionable advice for non-legal stakeholders. • Comfort with Ambiguity: Comfortable working in an environment where priorities shift and processes are designed for responsiveness, not rigid adherence. • Full-time resident of the contiguous United States (must be legally authorized to work in the US now and in the future without sponsorship).

🏖️ Benefits

• Internet: Will prioritize and maintain access to strong, reliable internet for the remote nature of our work, except when on vacation or holiday. • Security: Will keep the highest security practices to ensure privacy and security of Coforma and client information, given the nature of our work, even when on vacation. • Travel Flexibility: On request and with advanced notice, will attend in-person events such as meetings, workshops, and trainings as assigned for projects that require it. • Brand Representation: Will represent Coforma professionally and sincerely, modeling our Company Values in all interactions.
