Legal Paralegal

We are looking for a capable and well-organized Legal Paralegal to support the continued growth of our legal function.

We are a fast-moving IT consultancy of around 700 people, providing onsite and managed services to global pharmaceutical and life sciences clients across multiple countries.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys structure, detail, ownership, and working across a broad international legal workload. You will support our senior legal lead by taking ownership of contract administration, legal documentation, trackers, templates, research, and coordination — helping the legal function run smoothly and freeing up senior capacity for complex, high-value matters.

What you will be doing

You will support the legal team across commercial, contractual, compliance, and employment-related matters, including:

• Managing the contract lifecycle: intake, tracking, version control, execution, storage, renewals, and follow-ups.
• Preparing first drafts of standard agreements, NDAs, amendments, and other legal documents from templates for senior review.
• Maintaining and improving the legal template library, clause bank, records, registers, and trackers.
• Conducting first-pass legal and jurisdictional research.
• Supporting due diligence, audits, and compliance reviews by preparing and organising documentation.
• Coordinating with internal stakeholders and external counsel to keep matters moving and deadlines on track.
• Helping build better legal processes as the function continues to grow.

Requirements

What we are looking for

• Paralegal qualification or equivalent practical experience in a legal, in-house, contracts, or legal operations environment.
• Strong organisational skills and genuine attention to detail.
• Confidence working with templates, legal documents, trackers, and clear instructions.
• Ability to take ownership of process, follow up proactively, and bring matters to completion.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, international environment with shifting priorities.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• English is essential; German or other European languages are a plus.

What you will get

• Broad exposure to commercial contracts, international employment matters, compliance, and legal operations.
• Direct mentorship from a senior legal lead.
• A central role in a legal function that is being built out, with real room to shape how things are done.
• The opportunity to grow your responsibility over time in an international business environment.

If you are detail-oriented, proactive, and interested in developing within an international in-house legal environment, we would be happy to hear from you.
