Senior Legal Operations Paralegal (Hands-On, In-House Role)

CarShield is seeking a versatile, sharp, and grounded Paralegal to join its growing legal team. This isn’t just an admin role—it’s a pivotal position supporting the General Counsel’s office and senior legal staff across everything from regulatory filings and compliance to occasional litigation prep and high-level internal coordination.

If you’re the one in your circle who finds a way to land the “fully booked” dinner spot or get a customer service escalation resolved in 15 minutes, we want you. Think: part paralegal, part forensic investigator, part ops manager.

You’ll handle both strategic legal coordination and the kind of unglamorous-but-essential work that keeps everything running—prepping trial binders one hour, running something to UPS the next. It’s high-utility, high-trust, and high-impact.

We welcome candidates from law firms or corporate legal teams—especially those who solve problems, manage deadlines, talk directly with customers, and keep a fast-moving team calm and on-track. The right person isn’t above any task and takes pride in doing whatever it takes.

This is a full-time, on-site role based at our St. Peters, MO headquarters. Due to the collaborative and hands-on nature of the work, remote or hybrid arrangements are not available.

Responsibilities: 

• Draft and manage legal documents, demand letters, and compliance reports.
• Support regulatory responses, contract management, and litigation coordination.
• Understand how to organize trial binders, respond to consumer complaints, and handle corporate filings.
• Liaise with regulators, outside counsel, and key internal departments (compliance, HR, exec).
• Coordinate meetings, maintain calendars, prep decks, manage correspondence.
• Own project follow-through across the legal department—from spreadsheets to settlement logistics to hard-copy mailings.

Requirements:  

• 3+ years legal experience (in-house, contractor, firm, general corporate).
• Must work fully on-site at our St. Peters, MO headquarters.
• Master of multitasking, triage, and follow-through.
• Strong writing, research, and communication skills.
• Proficiency with MS Office; comfort with legal research platforms.
• Proactive, resourceful, and unflappable under pressure.

 Pay Rate and Benefits: 

• Hourly Pay: $36–$55+/hour, depending on experience. 
• Group Insurance (Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, etc.).
• 401k with Employer Match.
• Discounted CarShield policies.
• Discounted Tuition at Lindenwood University.
• Direct visibility with GC and senior leadership.
• Real opportunity to grow with a fast-paced legal team.
• Basketball, and other recreation available on-site.
• Fitness facilities, with the option to take classes led by on-staff personal trainer (at St. Peters headquarters).
• And more!
