Corporate Counsel

This is a remote position.

Paradigm is seeking a Corporate Counsel to support our client, a growing technology and e-commerce company with domestic and international operations.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role focused primarily on litigation management, risk and regulatory compliance, and problem-solving. The ideal candidate is a practical, collaborative attorney who provides a high level of service, communicates effectively with legal and non-legal stakeholders, and can independently manage priorities within a team environment.

The company is open to candidates currently working as Corporate Counsel, Assistant Corporate Counsel, or in a similar in-house or law firm position. Direct technology, e-commerce, international trade, or sanctions experience is helpful but not required. Strong judgment, initiative, and the ability to learn is more important than industry-specific experience.
