Compliance Program Support:

Complete and return vendor security questionnaires and third-party risk assessments, coordinating input from legal, IT, and security.
Support the annual SOC 2 audit cycle, including evidence collection and coordination of auditor requests.
Track certificates of insurance and maintain current coverage documentation.
Maintain the standard compliance documentation package and respond to routine client requests.
Support HIPAA and information security compliance documentation.

Registrations, Filings, and Corporate Records:

Maintain the filing and renewal calendar for multi-state data broker registrations.
Maintain corporate records, state business registrations, annual filings, and subsidiary documentation.
Track intellectual property renewal dates in coordination with outside counsel.

Legal Department Support:

Gather, organize, and transmit documents and factual materials to outside counsel as directed.
Track deadlines and matter status across active matters.
Support process improvements to department intake, tracking, and reporting.

Required Qualifications:

Three or more years of experience supporting a legal, compliance, or contracts function, preferably in-house at a software, technology, or data services company.
Proficiency with tracked changes, redline cleanup, PDF conversion, and e-signature platforms.
Strong working knowledge of commercial agreements, including software licensing, vendor agreements, and data privacy terms.
Demonstrated accuracy in records management and document tracking.
Proficiency with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, AirTable or comparable tracking tools, and document management systems.
Ability to work on-site in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA.

Preferred Qualifications:
