Description

Description Job Title: Paralegal Organization: The Surplus Line Association of California (SLA) Location: San Ramon, CA Position Type: Full-time, Hybrid Salary: $75,000 - $115,000 About Us: At the Surplus Line Association of California (SLA), we don’t sell insurance—we protect access to it. As the only organization overseeing California’s $20+ billion surplus lines insurance marketplace, we help support coverage availability for businesses—from film studios to freight haulers—when risks are too complex, too large or too unique for the standard market. Each year we review more than 1 million policy transactions, equip insurance brokers with compliance tools and continuing education courses, monitor the financial stability of global insurers and deliver data-driven insights that help the industry stay ahead of emerging risks. That impact—combined with our strong employee culture—has earned us recognition by Fortune as one of the Bay Area’s best places to work. Quick Clarifier: We are not insurance agents or a government agency—and we won’t be quoting your car or life insurance. We oversee a multibillion-dollar market that primarily serves businesses with hard-to-place risks. It’s niche, essential and surprisingly interesting. Position Overview: The Surplus Line Association of California is seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented, and collaborative Paralegal to join our Legal Department.

Assist with subpoenas, Public Records Act requests, and other document requests. Maintain organizational governance and entity management records. Support legal operations initiatives, including process improvement, documentation of legal department policies and procedures, legal technology tools, metrics, and reporting. Collaborate with internal teams to provide practical, business-oriented legal support. Conduct legal research and develop familiarity with laws and regulations related to the California surplus line insurance market. What We’re Looking For The successful candidate will bring a strong service orientation, sound judgment, and a commitment to accuracy and confidentiality. Strong candidates will have: Bachelor’s degree, associate’s degree in paralegal studies, or paralegal certification from an accredited institution. 1–5 years of paralegal experience, preferably in-house or in a law firm supporting business entity clients. Excellent organizational and document management skills. Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines. Clear and professional written and verbal communication skills. Ability to work effectively with attorneys, business stakeholders, management, and staff. Comfort handling sensitive and confidential information. Familiarity with legal research methods and resources. Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Experience with legal technology tools, contract management systems, or legal software is a plus. Who You Are You are someone who: Takes ownership of assignments and follows through. Is curious, resourceful, and eager to learn. Communicates clearly and professionally. Builds positive working relationships across teams. Exercises discretion and good judgment. Enjoys improving processes and helping a legal department run efficiently. Is self-motivated, dependable, and committed to supporting the mission and purpose of the organization.
