The Role

Neo Financial is seeking a detail-oriented, energetic, and proactive Paralegal to join our team in Calgary, AB on a full-time basis. Reporting directly to internal Legal Counsel, you will play a key operational role in supporting Neo’s Legal team across a wide range of legal functions.

You will handle high-impact, independent workflows—from managing corporate governance and contract lifecycles to conducting legal research and managing external legal ops. If you thrive in a fast-paced fintech environment, love solving operational challenges, and want to build a career in technology and corporate law with a fun, high-performing team, this is the role for you!

Who We’re Looking For

• Education & Credentials: Paralegal Diploma, Certificate, or Bachelor's Degree from a recognized Canadian post-secondary institution (COPR/paralegal education equivalent preferred).

• Experience: 3–5+ years of experience as a Paralegal or Legal Specialist within an in-house corporate legal department (technology or financial services preferred) or a reputable law firm.

• Contract & Legal Operations: Hands-on experience with contract lifecycle management (CLM) platforms, legal entity management software, and document black-lining tools.

• Legal Research & Drafting: Proven ability to conduct legal research, analyze statutory provisions, and draft baseline agreements, corporate resolutions, and correspondence under supervising legal counsel.

• Core Competencies:

  • High level of sound judgment, analytical thinking, and discretion when handling sensitive corporate information.

  • Superior project management and organizational skills—ability to manage competing priorities with minimal supervision in a rapid-growth environment.

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with meticulous attention to detail.

What You’ll Be Doing

Contract Drafting & Review

• Conduct preliminary reviews, redlines, and issue identification for Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), standard service agreements, vendor contracts, and third-party agreements.

• Prepare initial drafts of commercial agreements, legal templates, amendments, and routine legal correspondence under lawyer supervision.

• Manage contract execution workflows, ensuring appropriate authorization levels, execution tracking, and secure digital archiving.

Corporate Governance & Entity Management

• Prepare, maintain, and manage corporate minute books, annual returns, resolutions, officer/director updates, and extra-provincial filings across applicable jurisdictions.

• Organize and maintain centralized legal records, corporate calendars, and signature tracking systems.

• Assist with corporate structuring tasks, share issuance documentation, and due diligence requests for corporate transactions.

Legal Research & Operations

• Conduct preliminary legal and statutory research across Canadian jurisdictions (federal and provincial) to support strategic initiatives.

• Oversee external legal spend, including managing law firm e-billing, invoice reconciliations, and budget tracking in collaboration with Finance.

• Continuously refine standard operating procedures (SOPs), legal playbooks, and template libraries to increase department efficiency and self-serve capabilities for internal stakeholders.

🚀 Total Rewards

As Neo continues to grow, we’re committed to offering a competitive, market-leading rewards program that reflects the impact our team members make. In addition to salary, our program includes equity — empowering employees to share directly in our momentum today and in the meaningful value we create for years to come.

• Salary: We provide a strong base salary aligned with market ranges, along with the flexibility to tailor your mix of cash and equity to match your longer term goals. Final compensation is based on your skills, experience, and scope. For exceptional talent, we’re prepared to go above and beyond.

• Equity Ownership (Where Eligible): At Neo, you don’t just work here, you own a piece of what we’re building. As a full-time team member, you share directly in the upside of one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies. When we win, you win — with real ownership and meaningful long-term wealth-building potential tied to our success.
