This is well-suited to a law-firm litigation paralegal or legal support professional who is excellent at managing competing deadlines, keeping complex matters moving, and anticipating what needs attention next. You will have a meaningful mix of legal operations and claims coordination. You will help manage legal matter files, litigation tracking, outside counsel communication, and a contract repository, while coordinating insurance claims, incidents, and workers' compensation reporting. You will not be expected to independently provide legal advice, adjust claims, negotiate settlements, or make employment decisions. What you will do Legal operations & paralegal support •  Maintain accurate litigation, agency charge, demand, subpoena, and legal matter trackers; monitor deadlines, case status, next steps, and items for General Counsel attention. •  Coordinate with outside counsel on matter updates, document requests, meeting schedules, case calendars, and routine correspondence; help track legal spend and invoices. •  Organize and maintain secure electronic legal files, case chronologies, legal holds, and document collections for investigations, litigation, and diligence under attorney direction. •  Build and maintain a searchable contract repository, indexing executed agreements, amendments, key dates, renewal/termination notice periods, and responsible owners. •  Create or improve practical tools, checklists, calendars, and reporting processes that make the Legal function more organized and efficient.

What we are looking for •  At least 2 years of experience in a law firm, in-house legal department, claims administration, or a comparable role with substantial responsibility for files, deadlines, and follow-through. •  Exceptional attention to detail, ownership, prioritization, and ability to independently manage many open items without losing track of anything. •  Professional, concise communication with attorneys, field leaders, carriers, adjusters, and other stakeholders; sound judgment about what requires escalation. •  Strong Excel, Outlook, and Word skills; comfort building organized trackers, maintaining digital files, and learning new systems. •  Discretion with sensitive legal, business, employee, and health-related information.

A paralegal certificate or degree is welcome but is not mandatory if you have equivalent experience. Why this role is different You will work closely with Active Day's General Counsel, have broad visibility across legal and risk matters, and help build repeatable systems rather than simply process paperwork.
