Get Access To All JobsAbout Ramp
Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $200B in annualized spend flows in and out of 70,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.
The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.
We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you’ve built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome.
The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.
If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Corporate Paralegal to join Ramp's Legal team and own the operational backbone of how we govern and structure the company. Ramp runs a growing portfolio of U.S. and non-U.S. entities — including regulated and licensed subsidiaries — across a business that ships constantly and raises, acquires, and expands on short notice. You will be the person who keeps that machinery accurate, current, and audit-ready.
This is a broad generalist role. You'll sit at the center of corporate governance, entity management, equity administration, and litigation/employment and you'll partner directly with Finance, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, Compliance, Equity Admin, and People, and outside counsel. We are a small, high-leverage team supporting a company that moves quickly, so you'll cover a lot of ground and be trusted to run matters independently.
- Corporate governance: Prepare board and stockholder meeting materials, agendas, minutes, written consents, resolutions, secretary's certificates, and incumbency certificates. Track and calendar governance obligations across the entity portfolio.
- Entity management: Own the full lifecycle of entity administration — formations and dissolutions, foreign qualifications, annual reports, franchise tax filings, registered agent management, signatories, officer and director lists, post-integration cleanup.
- KYC, UBO, and diligence: Respond to KYC/UBO and diligence requests from bank partners, regulators, auditors, insurers, and counterparties, and build reusable packages.
- Equity support: Support equity administration, option and RSU grants, board approvals of equity awards, secondaries, and equity plan recordkeeping in partnership with Finance and People.
- Transaction support: Run diligence support, signature collection, closing checklists, closing binders, and post-closing obligations for financings, credit facilities, M&A, real estate, and insurance renewals.
- Commercial and cross-functional support: Assist with powers of attorney, delegations of authority, and corporate approvals needed by the business.
- Employment support: Support employment- and immigration-related requests and filings.
- Litigation support: Support subpoena and law enforcement requests, legal holds, e-discovery, and document production. Review and respond to garnishment orders and UCC liens. Serve as Ramp’s custodian of records and as Ramp’s representative in small claims court cases.
What You Need
- 6+ years of corporate paralegal experience at a major law firm and/or in-house at a high-growth technology or financial services company.
- Deep working knowledge of corporate governance, entity formation and maintenance, corporate recordkeeping, and secretary's office functions.
- Excellent drafting skills across resolutions, consents, certificates, and corporate documentation, with genuine precision — you catch the wrong entity name, the stale date, and the missing signature block.
- Demonstrated ability to independently run multiple time-sensitive workstreams without dropping threads or waiting to be asked.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and the judgment to work directly with executives, board members, outside counsel, and cross-functional partners.
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift and processes are still being built — and a bias toward action.
- High judgment around confidential and sensitive corporate information.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to Have
- Experience at a fintech, payments, or regulated financial services company, including support for licensed entities (money transmitter, EMI, or similar).
- Experience supporting venture financings, secondaries, M&A integration, or IPO readiness.
- International entity management experience across EMEA, APAC, LATAM, or Canada.
- Experience with equity administration and cap table platforms (e.g., Shareworks).
- Experiencing with litigation or employment matters.
- Notary Public commission (NY or CA), or willingness to obtain one.
- ABA-approved paralegal certificate.
- A track record of using AI or automation to eliminate manual legal work.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Corporate Paralegal
Target law firms over in-house legal departments
Large law firms sponsor corporate paralegals more frequently than in-house teams. AmLaw 100 firms in particular have established immigration workflows and are accustomed to filing H-1B petitions for professional staff, not just attorneys.
Clarify the degree requirement before applying
H-1B approval for corporate paralegals hinges on the job requiring a specific bachelor's degree, paralegal studies, legal studies, or a related field. Roles listed as open to any degree background are harder to support at the visa petition stage.
Highlight corporate transactional experience
Employers sponsoring visas for paralegals prefer candidates with M&A, securities, or corporate governance experience. These specializations signal a higher skill threshold and strengthen the specialty occupation argument USCIS scrutinizes during adjudication.
Ask about sponsorship policy during the first interview
Many legal employers sponsor selectively, only for hard-to-fill roles or senior paralegals. Raising the question early prevents investing weeks in a process with an employer whose HR policy excludes paralegal sponsorship entirely.
Consider the TN visa if you hold Canadian or Mexican citizenship
Canadian and Mexican citizens with a paralegal credential or law-related degree can qualify for TN status, which bypasses the H-1B lottery entirely. TN applications for paralegals are processed at the border or port of entry without USCIS adjudication.
Prepare to document your degree equivalency
If you hold a three-year bachelor's degree or a degree from outside the U.S., your employer's immigration attorney may need a credential evaluation to confirm it meets the four-year equivalency standard USCIS requires for H-1B specialty occupation petitions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do corporate paralegal jobs qualify for H-1B visa sponsorship?
Yes, but approval is not automatic. USCIS requires the employer to show that the corporate paralegal role is a specialty occupation, meaning it normally requires a specific bachelor's degree in paralegal studies, legal studies, or a closely related field. Generic job descriptions that accept any degree are more vulnerable to an RFE or denial. Employers who sponsor regularly tend to have carefully drafted job descriptions that satisfy this standard.
What degree do I need for a sponsored corporate paralegal role?
A bachelor's degree in paralegal studies, legal studies, or a related field is the strongest foundation for an H-1B visa petition. Some employers also accept degrees in business or a substantive area of law relevant to the practice group, for example, a finance degree for a capital markets paralegal role. A paralegal certificate alone is generally not sufficient to support an H-1B without an underlying bachelor's degree.
How often do law firms sponsor visas for paralegals compared to attorneys?
Sponsorship is far more common for attorneys than paralegals, but it does happen, particularly at large firms with high-volume transactional practices where experienced paralegals are difficult to hire domestically. Corporate, M&A, and securities practice groups sponsor more frequently than litigation teams. If you're looking for firms actively sponsoring paralegal roles, browsing Migrate Mate filters specifically for visa-sponsoring legal employers and saves significant research time.
Can I use OPT or STEM OPT while working as a corporate paralegal?
Yes, if you're an F-1 student who studied paralegal studies or a qualifying STEM-adjacent field, you can work as a corporate paralegal on OPT without employer sponsorship during that period. Standard OPT provides 12 months of work authorization. Note that paralegal studies is not on the STEM OPT eligible program list, so a 24-month extension would require a qualifying STEM degree, common for paralegals who hold a separate undergraduate degree in a STEM field.
Is the TN visa a realistic option for corporate paralegals from Canada or Mexico?
It can be, but the TN visa category does not list 'paralegal' as a recognized profession. Canadian and Mexican applicants typically need to qualify under a related TN category, most commonly 'lawyer' (which requires a law degree) or another applicable category with a strong nexus to the role. Some applicants have succeeded under creative TN categorizations, but this approach requires careful review by an immigration attorney before attempting entry.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Corporate Paralegal jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
