Paralegal — Molecule

About the Company

Molecule and BIO.xyz are building the foundation of Decentralized Science (DeSci) — where biotech meets web3 to make scientific research community-owned, transparent, and faster to market. Molecule provides the infrastructure to turn intellectual property (IP) into programmable, on-chain assets through an IP-NFT framework and evolving protocol stack. BIO.xyz is the coordination and economic layer of DeSci, powering BioDAOs through funding, governance, and ecosystem alignment.

About the Role

You will be a force multiplier for Molecule's Chief Legal Officer in a broad-based legal operations role inside a venture-backed startup working across biotech IP, decentralized finance, and blockchain-based scientific funding spanning Switzerland, the EU, the US, and Canada simultaneously.

This role centers on designing and running AI-powered legal workflows end-to-end: drafting contracts using LLMs, building Human-in-the-Loop review protocols, maintaining prompt libraries and SOPs, and continuously raising the bar on what a single paralegal can ship. The AI tools are your operating system, and you own the quality of everything that comes out of them.

Responsibilities

• Draft, review, and manage corporate documents — shareholder agreements, board resolutions, NDAs, MOUs, term sheets, and governance instruments for DeSci projects
• Prepare transactional documents for fundraising rounds, token sales, SAFTs, IP licensing agreements, and IP-NFT frameworks
• Support IP portfolio management: patent prosecution coordination, trademark filings, IP assignment agreements, and research collaboration agreements across US, EU, and international jurisdictions
• Assist litigation and dispute resolution — pleadings, discovery, deposition summaries, privilege logs, and case chronologies alongside outside counsel
• Operate and quality-review AI legal tools integrated into Molecule's workflows: LLM-driven drafting, summarization, research, and compliance screening
• Design structured HITL review protocols so AI-generated work product meets first-tier quality before it reaches the CLO
• Build and maintain prompt libraries, workflow templates, and SOPs for AI-assisted legal tasks
• Monitor regulatory developments across SEC, FINMA, MiCA, and Canadian securities regulators affecting DeSci, IP tokenization, and digital assets
• Support KYC/AML documentation, GDPR and data protection compliance, and regulatory filings

Requirements

• AI-native: real, hands-on experience using LLMs for legal drafting, research, or document analysis, and you've built or operated HITL review workflows, not just heard about them
• Paralegal-credentialed: diploma, certificate, or degree from an accredited institution, with 3+ years of experience in corporate, transactional, or litigation matters at a firm or in-house
• Jurisdictionally versatile: comfortable working across US, Canadian, Swiss, and EU legal systems — or eager to get there fast
• Organized under pressure: manage multiple concurrent matters, deadlines, and stakeholders in a distributed startup without dropping threads
• Independent and high-ownership: you don't wait to be told what to do next; you take matters end-to-end and escalate when it counts
• Curious about the mission: biotech, blockchain, and AI converging in one company either excites you or you wouldn't be reading this

Preferred

• Current paralegal license (LSO or equivalent provincial/state licensing)
• Experience with venture capital transactions, SAFTs/SAFEs, convertible notes, or startup fundraising legal ops
• Familiarity with blockchain, DeFi, digital asset regulation, or DeSci ecosystems
• Background in IP licensing, patent prosecution support, or biotech research collaboration agreements
• Bachelor's degree in law, science, business, or a related field

Benefits

• A legal operations seat at a company building the infrastructure for autonomous science
• Token allocation
• Remote-first with flexibility across time zones
• Paid travel to conferences, scientific events, and team off-sites
• Learning and professional development budget including CLE/CPD and AI tool training
• Generous PTO

Location

Remote (preferred: Canada, US, UK, EU, or Switzerland)
