About the Role:

Serrala’s Legal team is looking for a Legal Intern to help organize and manage signed contracts. This is a great opportunity for someone interested in legal operations and document management.

Your Day to Day:

• Serrala’s Legal and Compliance team uses a shared mailbox to send signed contracts for later saving
• The agreements sent to the mailbox include those for its Customers (companies that use Serrala’s software and services), Partners (companies we work with to help us sell our products), and Vendors (companies and people that we buy services from)
• The person in this role will have access to the shared mailbox and the three SharePoint sites (online computer files)
• The main work includes saving each contract and following naming guidelines for the file name and the metadata (information about the file).
• Contracts in foreign languages will be translated by the intern into English for easy reading using a software program called Deepl
• Success in this role will include entering each signed contract into the SharePoint databases as they come in so that the Legal and Compliance team can find them right away (currently about 10-15 per day on average).
• Preference is for accuracy over speed. Better to have the agreements entered slowly and correctly rather than quickly especially at the start.
• If the intern is able to keep up with the current flow in, he or she is encouraged to work on older entries and add them to the SharePoint database as well

What makes you excel in this position:

• Strong attention to detail.
• Comfortable working with digital files and learning tools like SharePoint and DeepL.
• Interest in legal or compliance work is a plus.
• Ability to follow naming and organization rules carefully.

Compensation:

$16.00 per hour
