The posting

Somewhere out there, a subpoena is being served. It has twenty-seven document requests, a Kafkaseque set of instructions, and someone on the other end who would like it handled yesterday. Next week, there will be more.

You can grind through that kind of volume by burning through headcount and leaving no stone unturned. Or you can meet it with creativity and judgment, stepping back to focus on what is actually needed and building systems so the next hundred meet the quality bar more easily than the last.

Litigation at Mercury is not about posturing or perfection. It’s about getting the important things right and knowing which things those are. As a Litigation Paralegal, you’ll join Mercury’s litigation team at a pivotal moment in the company’s story, drawing on your experience and judgment to help the company continue to innovate and scale as it builds a modern banking* experience trusted by more than 450,000 customers.

About the role

You’ll be a key member of our litigation team, supporting work across subpoenas, law enforcement requests, demand letters, discovery, and related workflows. You’ll partner closely with the Deputy General Counsel, Litigation & IP and Senior Litigation Paralegal but operate with a high degree of autonomy—owning high-volume processes, driving execution, and developing creative solutions that enable the team to amplify its impact even as the company grows and scales.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where you’ll be trusted to figure out the right approach where there’s no playbook, manage competing priorities, and keep things moving—even when the path isn’t perfectly clear.

What you’ll be doing

  • You’ll own core litigation-related workflows across the team, including managing responses to subpoenas and law enforcement requests, supporting discovery efforts, and coordinating litigation holds and document production.
  • You’ll take the lead on high-volume intake and response processes, ensuring requests are tracked, deadlines are met, and responses are prepared efficiently and accurately.
  • You’ll manage demand letter workflows end-to-end, including intake, drafting responses for attorney review, and driving matters through resolution.
  • You’ll partner closely with attorneys to draft materials and move work forward independently, escalating more complex or higher-risk issues when needed.
  • You’ll collaborate with Legal Operations to build and improve systems that support this work, including developing templates, playbooks, and more scalable processes for handling subpoenas, summons, and related matters.
  • You’ll help oversee and improve automation and AI-assisted tooling in this space—ensuring outputs are accurate, handling exceptions, and identifying opportunities to expand automation over time.
  • You’ll work cross-functionally with teams across the company to gather information and coordinate responses, and externally with vendors or outside counsel where needed.

Who you are

An exceptional paralegal with 4+ years of experience with a law firm or in-house legal team (or a combination of both). In addition, you’ll have:

  • Meaningful experience supporting subpoenas, law enforcement requests, discovery, and other high-volume legal workflows
  • Strong judgment and comfort taking ownership of work from start to finish
  • Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
  • A proactive, low-ego approach and a willingness to jump in where needed

What we’d love to see

  • A systems-oriented mindset—you’re always looking for ways to help us meet the quality bar more efficiently and consistently
  • Creativity and a willingness to push beyond “the way things are normally done”
  • Strong AI instincts and experience – can evaluate tools, deploy them responsibly, and drive adoption to make the team meaningfully faster

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
