Sr. Legal Administrative Assistant
ezCater is the world’s largest online marketplace for catering – a $60+ billion market just in the U.S. Businesspeople use us to find and order great food for meetings and events; restaurants and caterers use us to grow their catering business. We’re backed by Insight Partners, Iconiq Capital, Wellington, Lightspeed, and GIC, and in early 2019 were valued at $1.25 billion. COVID slammed us, but we responded by finding new customer segments and seizing the rare opportunity COVID offered: when in life does a very successful operation get a do-over? Come help us power Food For Work even better than we did it the first time.
We are looking for a talented and motivated Sr. Legal Administrative Assistant to play an integral role on ezCater’s two lawyer legal team in supporting our rapidly growing business.

- Support the legal team in responding to internal client requests. This will include information intake from internal clients, responding to requests, tracking the status of open items and coordinating with stakeholders across departments.
- Create workflows tailored to the needs of specific teams (for example, a workflow for contract review from client request to signature), focusing on increased efficiencies and avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy.
- Use creative problem-solving to implement process improvements that increase the legal team’s productivity and improve client outcomes.
- Assist the legal team in drafting templated agreements, contract amendments, extensions, termination notices and letters.
- Assist with corporate transactions/matters, including compiling and organizing materials for financings, M&A transactions and potential public company filings.
