👋 Hi, I’m Theresa - VP of Legal and General Counsel here at Dwolla and I’m looking for a Paralegal who is experienced in commercial contracts to join our Legal team.  

​

Here is what you can expect to work on in this critical role on my team:

As the initial contact for our legal team, you’ll spend time drafting agreements, developing contracting templates & guidelines and providing guidance to a wide variety of stakeholders… and more!

​

You will work in close collaboration with our sales team to review and draft sales agreements and support our marketing team in materials review. Additionally, you will also work closely with our customer success team to handle routine questions and escalations.

​

Our small-but-mighty team values honest opinions, support and developing meaningful relationships with the teams we support.  We also don’t take ourselves too seriously, treat everyone as equals and appreciate bringing a sense of light-heartedness to our day.

​

Our Paralegal will ideally be a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment. Dwolla is on the cutting edge of innovative payments solutions and that means you must be comfortable with ambiguity and able to deep-dive into new and changing regulations as they are introduced.

​

💪 You have obsessive organizational skills with an eye for detail (your friends might call you ‘Type A’).
