Funds Paralegal
The Funds Paralegal at Carta will be an integral member of the Funds team in the Americas Region, contributing to the company's mission of transforming private capital operations. Carta is a connected platform and AI-native ecosystem for private capital, serving over 55,000 companies and 1.8 million equity holders across more than 160 countries. The company offers a comprehensive suite of software, services, and legal infrastructure that founders, fund managers, and legal teams use to manage equity, fund administration, and reporting.
In this role, the Funds Paralegal will prepare initial drafts of limited partner (LP) transfer documents, including transfer agreements, consents, and subscription agreements. They will liaise with transfer parties to coordinate processes and timelines, assist with execution workflows, and collaborate closely with lawyers and senior paralegals to deliver high-quality client service across fast-paced, high-volume matters. Over time, the position offers opportunities to build commercial and legal expertise, with potential to take ownership of client accounts and progress toward qualification as a practicing legal professional.
Ideal candidates will be eager to learn and grow, demonstrating motivation, curiosity, and a desire to develop expertise in legal practice areas such as compliance, contracts, or funds. Strong organizational skills are essential, with the ability to prioritize effectively, manage competing deadlines, and maintain attention to detail. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, are required to provide clear and professional advice to clients. A self-starter attitude is important, with the ability to work independently and proactively identify and address potential issues. Collaboration is key, as the role involves working effectively with lawyers, senior paralegals, and client-facing teams in a dynamic environment. A legally educated background, such as an undergraduate law degree or equivalent, is preferred, and prior exposure to LP transfer processes is a plus but not mandatory.
While specific compensation details are not provided, Carta is recognized by Fortune, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc., and Great Places to Work, indicating a commitment to employee satisfaction and competitive benefits. The company culture emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and a mission-driven approach to unlocking the power of equity ownership for more people in more places.
