In the posting’s own words

The work is entity formation and maintenance in many jurisdictions, corporate records and statutory filings, and daily coordination with the Finance, Tax and People teams. You will deal directly with government agencies, registries, registered agents and local counsel around the world. You will also be the person the rest of the company asks whenever a question touches our corporate structure.

What it asks for · 5

  • Practical experience with entity formation and ongoing maintenance in multiple countries, including foreign qualification, good standing, annual filings, registered agents and local statutory requirements.
  • A track record of working with internal partners outside Legal, such as Finance, Tax and People, where the work only lands if the coordination is good.
  • Proficiency with an entity management platform. We use Diligent Entities. If you have used a comparable system and will become an expert in ours, that works too.
  • Strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to work with outside counsel, registered agents and service providers in many countries and time zones.
  • A bachelor's degree, an associate degree or a paralegal certificate from an ABA-approved program. If you have none of these, we will consider equivalent relevant experience.

Also a plus

  • Exposure to Section 16, Forms 144, Rule 10b5-1 administration or public company reporting.
  • Implementing or migrating an entity management system, or materially improving the data quality of an existing one.
  • Rationalizing a legacy entity portfolio by consolidating or winding down dormant companies, including entities acquired through M&A.
  • Evaluating, piloting or rolling out legal technology or AI tools.
  • Supporting restricted party or sanctions screening.
  • Work at a multinational technology or SaaS company, or supporting one from a firm or service provider.
  • A notary public commission in New York, or willingness to obtain one.
  • Certification from NALA, the National Association of Legal Assistants (Certified Paralegal or Advanced Certified Paralegal), or from NFPA, the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (CORE Registered Paralegal or PACE Registered Paralegal).

Degree language

  • A bachelor's degree, an associate degree or a paralegal certificate from an ABA-approved program. If you have none of these, we will consider equivalent relevant experience.

How this page was made

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched October 31, 2026 and last changed by Datadog on October 21, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
