Paralegal

Paralegal Position at Tennr

We're hiring our first paralegal to join Tennr's legal team. You'll work directly with our two attorneys across the full range of legal work at a high-growth health-tech company, with a heavy emphasis on commercial contracts.

Today, our attorneys handle everything: drafting, negotiating, and reviewing customer and vendor agreements, building and maintaining compliance programs, advising product and business development teams, and managing corporate governance. We need someone who can manage the operational side of our legal function, take on contract drafting and review, and help us build the internal resources and scalable processes that a high-growth company like us needs.

Key Responsibilities

Contract Drafting, Contract Management, and Legal Operations

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts, including SaaS subscription agreements, order forms, BAAs, NDAs, vendor agreements, and partnership agreements
• Serve as the first point of escalation for routine contracting questions from Sales and Business Development, routing complex or novel issues to the attorneys
• Maintain and organize Tennr's contract repository across SpotDraft, DocuSign, and Salesforce, including managing contract workflows end-to-end and tracking active contract obligations.
• Support the procurement process and maintain visibility into vendor agreements and compliance requirements
• Assist with corporate governance tasks as needed, including maintaining corporate records and supporting board-related processes

Cross-Functional Enablement

• Develop and maintain internal legal resources: contract playbooks, FAQ documents, written guidelines for teams
• Create internal reference materials such as ambassador program documentation, product-specific walkthroughs, and compliance guides
• Attend or distill notes from cross-functional meetings to identify emerging legal needs and areas where teams could benefit from additional guidance or resources
• Support compliance tracking by helping build and maintain team-specific compliance calendars and audit documentation

Compliance Support

• Assist with compliance monitoring and documentation, helping to build and maintain records supporting Tennr's compliance programs, including HIPAA-related obligations

Candidate Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a paralegal, contracts specialist, or in a similar role within an in-house legal department or law firm, ideally supporting a technology or healthcare company
• Hands-on experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts (SaaS, technology, or services agreements); you understand how provisions interact, not just how to check them against a list
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams (active deal flow, repository maintenance, internal projects) with minimal supervision
• Excellent legal writing skills for both contract markup and clear, usable internal documents and guidelines
• Familiarity with contract lifecycle management tools (SpotDraft, Ironclad, Agiloft, or similar) or demonstrated ability to learn new systems quickly
• A proactive mindset: you notice when a recurring question should become a written resource, when a process could be improved, or when a team needs support before they ask for it
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities shift and the role will evolve

Nice to Have

• Experience working in healthcare, health-tech, or a similarly regulated industry
• Familiarity with HIPAA, BAA requirements, or healthcare data privacy
• Experience with AI-assisted legal tools or contract review automation (e.g., building or configuring playbooks in AI-powered review platforms, designing automated intake or review workflows)
• Interest in or experience with process design and workflow automation for legal operations: building systems that reduce manual work and let a small team scale
• Experience building self-service legal resources, internal knowledge bases, or intake workflows
• Familiarity with Salesforce and DocuSign from an administrative or configuration perspective
