Corporate Clerk / Paralegal
Banyan Software is seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Corporate Clerk / Paralegal to join its Legal team. This role is essential to maintaining the corporate governance infrastructure across Banyan and its growing portfolio of software companies. The successful candidate will own corporate records, entity administration, minute books, M&A transaction support, equity administration, and compliance obligations across multiple global jurisdictions. This is a high-trust, high-autonomy role for someone who runs the function—not just supports it—and who uses AI to build scalable processes, not just complete tasks.
Key responsibilities include maintaining and organizing all corporate records, minute books, registers, and governing documents for Banyan and its portfolio companies. The role involves preparing, circulating, and filing board and shareholder resolutions, meeting minutes, written consents, and annual organizational documents. Additionally, the Corporate Clerk / Paralegal will support the formation, registration, qualification, and dissolution of legal entities across global jurisdictions, coordinate tax ID applications, registered agent appointments, and ongoing entity maintenance. The position also entails coordinating and preparing joinder documentation when new entities join existing credit facilities, working with external counsel and lenders to ensure all conditions to joinder are satisfied and executed documents are properly filed and tracked.
The ideal candidate will have 3–5 years of experience as a corporate clerk, paralegal, or in a corporate governance/legal support role, ideally within a multi-entity environment. Strong knowledge of corporate governance practices, minute book management, and entity lifecycle administration is required. Familiarity with U.S. state and Canadian provincial corporate filing requirements, including annual reports, foreign qualifications, and DBA registrations, is essential. The candidate should possess exceptional organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines, entities, and advisors simultaneously. Proficiency with Microsoft Office and/or Google Workspace is necessary; experience with entity management software is a plus. The role also requires AI proficiency and comfort using modern AI tools to accelerate research, drafting, tracking, and repetitive legal operations work.
Banyan Software offers a dynamic work environment that encourages initiative and rapid development. Employees have the opportunity to learn directly from entrepreneurs who have scaled businesses from seed to significant IPOs. The company provides strong development of interpersonal and presentation skills and operates in an environment that combines a high-growth technology startup and a long-term buy/hold private equity investment firm. This unique setting offers exposure to different businesses across diverse industries and the chance to work with a team that values humility, honesty, hunger, and a long-term horizon.
