📋 Description

• Manage and triage incoming disputes matters, ensuring accurate and timely intake across a variety of claim types (e.g., demand letters, pre-litigation disputes, arbitration threats). • Draft and send initial responses to users on behalf of Litigation Counsel, following established templates and escalation protocols. • Maintain and organize case tracking systems to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. • Coordinate with internal stakeholders across Trust & Risk, Customer Experience, and Legal Operations to gather facts and documentation relevant to disputes. • Support Litigation Counsel in preparing materials for active matters, including organizing records, summarizing communications, and tracking deadlines. • Assist with building and refining intake workflows and response playbooks as our disputes function scales. • Utilize AI driven tools to improve efficiency and further refine workflows.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of paralegal or legal support experience, preferably in litigation, disputes, or a high-volume legal environment. • Experience with demand letter intake and response drafting, or other structured legal correspondence workflows. • Strong written communication skills — you can write clearly and concisely, and know how to calibrate tone for sensitive situations. • Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage a large volume of matters simultaneously without losing track of details. • Comfort working cross-functionally and getting up to speed quickly in a new environment. • Familiarity with legal matter management tools or case tracking systems is a plus. • Experience with AI platforms, such as GC AI, Claude CoWork, and Glean. • Prior experience at a tech company, marketplace, or fast-paced startup is a plus but not required.
