Senior Paralegal (6 month contract) at Shakepay

<p>At Shakepay, we’re on a mission to usher in the Bitcoin golden age. We’re reimagining financial services to give every Canadian their fair shake.</p> <p>Our culture is built around doing work that matters, winning as a team, and celebrating success. If you're the kind of person who values growth, shipping fast, and sharing your ideas openly with a group of like-minded people, come and build with us!</p> <h2>About Shakepay</h2> <p>Since 2015, we've been on a mission to help Canadians build long-term wealth through bitcoin. Over the past few years, we've expanded beyond buying and selling bitcoin to offer a growing suite of everyday financial products - including the Shakepay Card, direct deposit, bill payments and Interac e-Transfer - making it easier to earn, save and use bitcoin every day. Today, more than 1.5 million Canadians use Shakepay to grow their bitcoin savings and take control of their financial future as we continue to push the boundaries of what modern financial services can look like.</p> <p>We’re regulated as an investment dealer across all Canadian provinces and territories, and backed by renowned venture capitalists with a funding of $44M. We have a passionate, loyal, and growing community, and we’re looking for people who want to help us build something truly special.</p> <h3><strong>About the team</strong></h3> <p>The Legal team is small but highly leveraged. We partner closely with Product, Compliance, Finance, Operations, People, and leadership to help Shakepay move quickly in a highly regulated environment.</p> <p>We're building a modern legal function where legal operations, automation and AI are part of how we work, not side projects.
