A Little Bit About Us: You might know us from our founder and CEO, Dave Ramsey, who’s given no-nonsense money advice on the radio since 1992. Three decades later, Ramsey Solutions is a household name in personal finance, with a mission to change the toxic money culture for good.

Our Mission: Ramsey Solutions provides biblically based, commonsense education and empowerment that give HOPE to everyone in every walk of life.

Here’s a Taste of Our Benefits:

• Health insurance (includes plans eligible for an HSA—with a company match up to $500!)
• 401(k) retirement plan with 4% match/company contribution
• Annual wellness, counseling and grocery membership reimbursement
• On-campus cafe with subsidized pricing for breakfast, lunch and coffee bar
• Dependent care FSA
• Tons of cultural activities, like weekly devotional, leadership development courses, Battle of the Bands, and one epic Christmas party!

Where and How You’d Work:

Ramsey Solutions Headquarters is located just outside of Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee. We value our strong, unified company culture because we believe the best work is done together. That’s why all of our team members work on-site under the same roof. But work-life balance is also important to us, so we offer flexible work schedules to take the stress out of appointments, family obligations and other needs that may pop up.

While every team member has a designated workspace (with an electronic sit-stand desk), our campus was designed to house a variety of unique work and play zones (e.g., quiet library space, coffee bar/lounge areas, recreational game zone, and outside/patio work and break areas).

What You’d Do in This Role:

Our growing in-house legal team is unlike almost any other corporate legal team you’ll ever work with. You’ll be working with a great team that supports you and appreciates the effort you put in. You’re seen as a valuable team member, not a robot or an obstacle. Next, the work is interesting and not just the same old monotonous routine day in and day out. There’s variety in what you’ll be doing, from reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts to assisting the business with new initiatives to working with our creatives on exciting projects to dealing with interesting Intellectual Property matters — just to name a few. But most importantly, you’ll be doing work that matters with a company that has a great culture and lives out its core values.

Our paralegal position will work directly with all members of our legal team as well as our business leads. Under the supervision of our attorneys, this position will support our business units and matrix functions by helping to draft and negotiate customer, vendor, and strategic agreements, as well as support various legal and regulatory projects as they arise. The ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to provide support for a full spectrum of legal, business, and operations needs as required by the company.

You’re Probably a Match If:

• You have an undergraduate degree from an accredited, reputable university OR a Paralegal certificate.
• You have 4+ years of experience as a transactional or corporate paralegal at a reputable law firm or in-house legal department.
• You're familiar with Contract Lifecycle Management.
• You've worked in media, entertainment, or intellectual property law .

What Winning Looks Like:

• Help structure, draft, review, and negotiate legal documents across a wide variety of categories, including customer and third-party vendor agreements
• Develop a thorough knowledge and understanding of all company business segments to better advise and provide legal, contractual, and regulatory support as well as assist in furthering business initiatives and strategies
• Establish, manage, and maintain strong collaborative relationships with a variety of internal clients across all areas of the company
• Track, manage, and report on the status of all active legal matters
• Identify legal and business risks, work with appropriate legal and business team members to find targeted solutions to those risks, and implement risk mitigation measures 

Other Stuff to Know:

We’re looking for people who are passionate about our mission. This isn’t just a J-O-B. We experience resistance every day because what we believe is absolutely countercultural. We actually hate debt. We actually cut up our credit cards . . . like, for real. Some of us are still fighting our way out of debt, but we aren’t going back.
