• Hold the quality bar. Deliver crisp, commercially sound contract support that reflects Carta's reputation for precision - balancing speed with the attention to detail that private capital clients expect
The Team You'll Work With You'll be joining our UK Contracts team. Reporting to a Supervising Attorney in EMEA, you'll work alongside Carta's UK lawyers and embedded AI agents to deliver high-volume contract work with the speed and consistency that private capital clients demand. This team sits at the intersection of legal expertise and technology - processing investment-related NDAs and transactional documents at a pace traditional law firms can't match.


• Experienced in transactional legal work. You have 2+ years of experience recommended working within a transactional or corporate practice group, or an in-house commercial legal team - with hands-on exposure to commercial contracts and investment-related NDA drafting.
• Fast and precise under pressure. You thrive in high-volume, deadline-driven environments - you can context-switch between competing demands without letting quality slip.
• Commercially and legally grounded. You have a strong grasp of relevant legal concepts and the commercial pragmatism to apply them - you know when to flag something and when to just get it done.
• A clear communicator. Your written and verbal communication is crisp and concise - clients and colleagues get what they need from you without having to ask twice.
• A self-starter with a builder's mindset. You take ownership, spot inefficiencies, and look for ways to improve how the team operates.
