What you will do

If you're looking to grow your legal career in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, this is a great opportunity to do just that. As a Legal Assistant on our Legal team, you'll work closely with our contracts team, Senior Paralegal, and attorneys to help manage the end-to-end contract process—from document prep to signature and retention.

You'll gain exposure to a variety of contract types (vendor agreements, NDAs, commercial contracts, RFPs), get hands-on training in legal tools like DocuSign and SharePoint, and play a critical role in keeping our legal operations organized and running smoothly.

 

This is a great role for someone who’s eager to learn, detail-oriented, and excited to be part of a global in-house legal team.

  • Assist with preparation, review, and tracking of contracts (NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, vendor agreements) 
  • Maintain and organize legal files, including electronic databases and records 
  • Coordinate signatures, manage version control, and ensure proper archiving of legal documents 
  • Manage scheduling for internal legal team meetings and external counsel calls 
  • Support compliance and regulatory tracking initiatives 
  • Help prepare materials for legal audits or internal reviews 
  • Liaise with cross-functional teams including procurement, finance, and HR 
  • Handle general administrative tasks for the legal department (e.g., expense reports, correspondence, data entry) 

 

What you should bring

We’re looking for someone who’s organized, proactive, and excited about developing their skills in a legal setting.

 
  • 2+ years of experience supporting legal or compliance functions (in-house preferred) 
  • Strong organizational skills with meticulous attention to detail 
  • Excellent verbal and written communication 
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and document management tools (e.g., DocuSign, SharePoint) 
  • Ability to handle confidential information with discretion 
  • Experience in a fast-paced, client-service-driven environment 
  • Certification in paralegal studies a plus, but not required 

 

Why Join GEP?

At GEP, you’ll be part of a global company that values growth, learning, and collaboration.

  • Hands-On Experience: Work on meaningful projects with real impact
