Compliance Paralegal

As a Paralegal in Sage's Legal Innovation Centre, you'll deliver practical legal support to colleagues around the world while helping us rethink how legal services can be simpler, faster and more scalable.

You'll take ownership of a broad range of legal requests from initial review through to resolution, using established playbooks and guidance while knowing when to bring in an attorney or specialist. Alongside delivering great support today, you'll help improve how we work tomorrow by turning repeatable legal work into better playbooks, self-service resources, digital workflows and AI-assisted services.

If you enjoy combining hands-on commercial legal work with technology, problem-solving and continuous improvement, this is a chance to help shape a modern legal service.

You'll join Sage's Legal Innovation Centre, working alongside legal, service design, engineering and operations colleagues to deliver effective legal support and improve the experience for the people who use our services.
