法律研究分析师
Legal Research Analyst
职位描述
我们是一家全球教育公司，在多个市场开展由专家授课的实时商业课程。随着公司的发展，我们在多个司法管辖区同时运营所带来的法律问题也越来越多——如何与不同国家的讲师签订合同，如何构建实体结构，如何回应监管机构的问题。
我们正在招聘一位专职法律岗位，负责这些决策背后的调研、分析和起草工作。
这是一个真正广泛的职位，适合法律职业生涯早期的人士，希望接触到真实的跨境商业和雇佣问题，而不是局限于某一领域。你将研究之前未曾接触过的司法管辖区的法律——美国、英国和欧盟、南非、澳大利亚以及整个亚太地区——你的工作是带回一个明确的答案，而不是模棱两可的答复。
职责内容
- 在我们扩展业务时，跨多个司法管辖区进行法律问题研究——承包商和合作伙伴的参与模式、实体结构、雇佣法和商业法等
- 起草并维护我们的合同模板：咨询协议、助教协议、工作说明书、修改协议和终止协议，并包含司法管辖区特定版本
- 审核对方合同并标出真正重要的条款
- 建立并管理我们的法律登记簿：待处理事项、截止日期、义务、续签、申报等
- 确定并指导外部律师——撰写问题、整理资料包、跟踪成本和处理时间，并对返回的内容进行压力测试
- 支持实体设立、重组和市场进入尽职调查
- 维护经批准的沟通模板和常见问题解答，供与讲师合作的团队使用
- 建立系统，使一个小规模的法务团队能够支持快速发展的公司
要求
- 法学学位，2-4年实际法律工作经验——私人执业、企业内部或法律服务行业
- 优秀的英文书面表达能力。该职位的核心产出是一份非法律人士可以立即执行的一页备忘录。清晰胜过全面
- 具备法律研究能力，包括在非本国法律体系中进行研究——并具备判断何时需要当地律师以及如何向他们提出问题的能力
- 具有合同起草和审核经验
- 理性且经过验证地使用AI研究工具。我们使用它们；我们也核查每一条引用来源
- 能够适应不确定性，并主动将模糊的业务问题转化为精确的法律问题

About the role
We're a global education company running live, expert-led business courses across multiple markets. As we grow, so does the volume of legal questions that come with operating in many jurisdictions at once — how we contract with instructors in different countries, how we structure entities, how we respond when a regulator asks a question.
We're hiring a dedicated legal role to take ownership of the research, analysis, and drafting that sits underneath those decisions.
This is a genuinely broad role for someone early in their legal career who wants exposure to real cross-border commercial and employment questions, rather than a narrow slice of one. You'll research law in jurisdictions you haven't worked in before — the US, the UK and EU, South Africa, Australia, and across APAC — and your job will be to bring back a clear answer, not a hedge.
What you'll do
- Research legal questions across multiple jurisdictions as we expand — contractor and partner engagement models, entity structuring, employment and commercial law, etc.
- Draft and maintain our contract templates: consulting agreements, teaching assistant agreements, statements of work, amendments, and termination agreements, with jurisdiction-specific variants
- Redline counterparty contracts and flag the terms that actually matter
- Build and own our legal register: active matters, deadlines, obligations, renewals, filings
- Scope and brief external counsel — write the question, assemble the pack, track cost and turnaround, and pressure-test what comes back
- Support entity formation, restructuring, and market-entry diligence
- Maintain approved communication templates and FAQs for teams who work with our instructors
- Build the systems that let a small legal function support a fast-growing company
Requirements
- A law degree and 2–4 years of practical legal experience — private practice, in-house, or legal services
- Excellent written English. The core output of this role is a one-page memo a non-lawyer can act on immediately. Clarity beats comprehensiveness.
- Proven legal research skill, including in legal systems that aren't your own — and the judgment to know when a question needs local counsel and how to frame it for them
- Contract drafting and redlining experience
- Thoughtful, verified use of AI research tools. We use them; we also check every citation at source.
- Comfort with ambiguity, and the initiative to turn a half-formed business question into a precise legal one
- Interest in how the business actually works, not just the legal question in isolation
Nice to have
- Experience with cross-border contractor or freelancer engagement models
- Employment or labour law background
- Admission to the bar in your home jurisdiction
- Data protection experience (GDPR, POPIA)
- Experience in a distributed, remote-first company
Benefits
- Competitive Compensation:Competitive salary,Opportunities for career advancement as ELVTR continues to grow globally
- Learn and Grow:Free access to ELVTR courses,Ongoing professional development opportunities,Career growth within one of the world's fastest-growing online education companies
- Remote-First Culture: Work from wherever you're most productive, Flexible and supportive work environment,Collaborative international team
- Health & Wellbeing:Gym membership reimbursement,Mental health support, Generous paid vacation allowance
