Paralegal

Founded in 2018, Quince was built to challenge the idea that nice things have to cost a lot. Our mission is simple: to make high‑quality essentials for low prices, produced fairly and sustainably. We believe everyone deserves exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design without traditional markups. Quince is a direct‑to‑consumer model that cuts out middlemen and leverages just‑in‑time manufacturing to minimize waste and maximize value. The Role We’re seeking a mid‑to‑senior level Paralegal (typically 4–7+ years of experience) to support Quince’s global legal team across the U.S., U.K., EU, and India. This role reports to the Head of Legal and will design, scale, and own the infrastructure that allows our legal team to move at high speed. The Paralegal will own legal operations and paralegal tasks that enable counsel to deliver practical, business‑aligned legal advice, including contract lifecycle management, privacy and DSAR support, employment and HR documentation assistance, litigation and claims support, outside‑counsel coordination, and building repeatable processes and templates. The role will work cross‑functionally with Operations, People, Logistics, Marketing, and Customer Service and will serve as the team’s operational backbone—improving turnaround times and documentation quality while enabling lawyers to focus on strategic matters. Responsibilities Contract & Commercial Support Manage contract intake, triage, and tracking across jurisdictions; enforce SLAs and maintain intake workflows.

Assist with privacy‑related documentation and evidence for audits and regulator interactions as directed. Employment & HR Support Prepare and maintain employment documents, offer letters, termination checklists, and HR legal templates for use by People Operations, with guidance from counsel. Assist on onboarding/offboarding checklists and employment documentation tracking. Litigation, Claims & e‑Discovery (Ongoing) Provide ongoing litigation and claims support: coordinate document collection and e‑discovery with outside counsel. Assemble litigation packets, maintain case timelines and trackers, coordinate with outside counsel, and monitor deadlines and filings. Support pre‑litigation intake, fact‑gathering, and correspondence management. Legal Operations & Process Execute ad‑hoc research tasks across key legal domains (including product compliance, data privacy, and global employment) to assist counsel with strategic decision‑making. Build and maintain playbooks, templates, checklists, and SOPs. Maintain outside‑counsel panels, manage matter intake, and assist with outside counsel billing and invoicing workflows. Produce legal operational metrics and dashboards (contract volume, turnaround time, outside counsel spend). Qualifications Required Minimum 4 years of paralegal experience in‑house or at a law firm supporting corporate/commercial, privacy, or litigation matters; mid‑to‑senior level (typical range 4–7+ years). Paralegal certificate, bachelor’s degree, or equivalent practical experience.

Excellent drafting, proofreading, and document‑assembly skills; high attention to detail. Proven ability to work autonomously and manage asynchronous workflows across global time zones (U.S., U.K., India). Strong communication and project‑management skills; ability to handle competing priorities and maintain SLAs. Proactive, business‑minded, and hands‑on—with a bias toward execution and clarity.
