The company's direct-to-device service is live on millions of activated devices across five continents, covering more than 72 million square kilometers in partnership with leading satellite operators, mobile network operators, Tier-1 chipset makers, and OEMs worldwide.

- Maintain the contract repository as the single source of truth with consistent naming, complete metadata, correct permissions, and no orphaned drafts

- Maintain corporate records across Skylo's US and international entities, including board and stockholder minutes, written consents, organizational documents, minute books, registered agent coordination, and annual reports
- Build and continuously improve Skylo's legal knowledge base on Confluence, including playbooks, template libraries, FAQs, and self-service resources
- Map existing legal processes, identify friction points, and redesign them; automate handoffs and retire manual steps
- Maintain the IP docket in coordination with outside counsel, covering patent and trademark deadlines, prosecution status, and invention disclosure tracking
- Support recurring compliance obligations including DPA and privacy paperwork, vendor questionnaires, policy attestations, insurance certificates, and audit requests
- Act as the operational interface to outside counsel and legal vendors, handling engagement letters, conflict checks, matter budgets, invoice review, and spend reporting
- Assemble and maintain diligence data rooms for financing and partnership processes; support legal holds, document collection, and records retention
- Collaborate daily with Sales, Business Development, Procurement, Finance, People Ops, Engineering, and Network Operations across Mountain View, Espoo, and India
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree or paralegal certificate; ABA-approved paralegal program, NALA (CP/ACP) or NFPA (RP) certification preferred
- 5+ years of paralegal or legal operations experience, with meaningful time in-house at a technology company; law firm corporate or commercial experience valued but role is operational and in-house in character

- Hands-on experience running signature workflows at volume in DocuSign or Adobe Sign, including template and envelope configuration and signature authority verification
- Working familiarity with commercial contracts (NDAs, vendor agreements, DPAs, SOWs, order forms, amendments) and judgment to prepare routine documents from playbooks and escalate appropriately
- Experience maintaining corporate records and entity management for multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction companies, including board consents, minute books, and annual filings
- Strong systems fluency across Google Workspace, Confluence, Jira, DocuSign, and e-billing tools, with comfort building trackers, dashboards, and lightweight automations
- Exceptional organization and attention to detail with proven record of managing high-volume queues against deadlines
- Clear, concise written communication and professional judgment to handle confidential and privileged information with discretion
- Comfort operating in fast-moving company where processes do not fully exist yet, building them as you go
