Job Description

What do we do?

As the SaaS space expands, there’s more potential than ever for growing software companies.

Having a great product is only part of the journey. B2B SaaS companies today face endless competition, live or die by customer acquisition costs, have to earn customer loyalty every day, need to operate across borders, and must navigate increasingly complex regulations.

Our all-in-one platform is purpose-built for modern SaaS execution and powers growth software companies, globally. Our Revenue Delivery Platform integrates checkout, payment, and subscription management, making it easy for businesses to activate new business models, enter new markets, turn on new offerings, and renew subscriptions without friction and we handle compliance globally, so our Sellers always operate with full integrity.

Paddle has around 200 talented employees serving over 2,000 software sellers in 245 countries and territories globally. Backed by investors including FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North, Paddle aims to define the next wave of SaaS leaders.

  • Process and review various documentation, and conduct legal research;

  • Filing, scanning , proof-reading and other ad-hoc tasks.

We'd love to hear from you if:

  • A law degree or equivalent (GDL, LPC);
  • You have demonstrable learning agility, bags of common sense and are not afraid of handling issues you have never dealt with before;
  • You are driven, able to work independently, organised to a fault and a pleasure to work with;
  • You have understanding and experience of a fast moving workplace environment, preferably in a tech business or the payments sector;
  • You are an excellent and persuasive communicator;
  • You are commercially minded and able to deliver creative and helpful solutions to a rapidly growing business.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help software companies succeed — enabling them to focus on creating products the world loves. Hundreds of companies rely on our e-commerce platform to sell their software products globally, as well as our powerful analytics and marketing tools to understand and grow their businesses.

Our vision is to become the platform that all software companies use to run and grow their business.
