The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Social Change Institute is hiring a Paralegal in Charleston, WV.

• Role description

  We're hiring a Paralegal, and the short version is this: bring Empathy, bring Customer Service, and bring the kind of curiosity that Social Change Institute runs on. Net it out: temporary, $56,000 - $82,000, 5 years, ownership of the general outcome, and a Social Change Institute team that has your back.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Tie general effort back to a number Social Change Institute cares about
  • Keep Social Change Institute's temporary commitments visible and on track
  • Use Contract Drafting to streamline routine tasks and free up capacity
  • Keep the temporary schedule realistic when everyone wants everything yesterday
  • Adapt quickly to shifting priorities in a fast-paced general environment
  • Keep Charleston, WV momentum when the mid-level pipeline runs thin
  • Coach newer mid-level teammates through their first messy general project
  • Carry the Empathy thread across three time zones and two tools

  What You'll Bring

  • A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
  • Working knowledge of Customer Service alongside transferable Empathy chops
  • The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
  • Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny

  Social Change Institute earns its keep by making general predictable, a fiercely-supportive promise it has quietly kept across WV. At Social Change Institute, asking for a day off doesn't require a doctor's note or a guilt trip.

  This position offers $56,000 - $82,000, comprehensive benefits, and genuine room to advance into leadership within general.

  We are prioritizing Empathy talent right now and reviewing resumes as they arrive.

  If a $56,000 - $82,000 role with room to grow sounds right, Social Change Institute would love to hear from you.
