About Us

Wild Alaskan Company’s mission is to accelerate humanity’s transition to sustainable food systems by fostering meaningful, interconnected relationships between human beings, wild seafood and the planet.

We deliver wild-caught, sustainable seafood to households across the United States. Powered by our custom-built eCommerce platform and three generations of history and expertise in the Alaskan fishing industry, we constantly strive to meet our promise of a top-notch product and experience. And we do it all in a fully-remote environment that is fast-paced, challenging, and fun. 

GENERAL ROLE DESCRIPTION 

Wild Alaskan Company is a mission-driven, vertically integrated seafood company connecting consumers and retailers to sustainably harvested, wild-caught seafood from Alaska. As we expand across DTC and wholesale channels, we are building scalable internal infrastructure to support rapid growth — including our legal operations function.

We are seeking a Legal Operations Lead (10-20 hours/week, fully remote) to lead contract workflow management, support commercial contracting, and build durable legal processes in partnership with our fractional General Counsel and cross-functional teams.

You will own contract workflow from submission through execution, ensuring a consistent and speedy turnaround, as well as triaging the wide range of legal questions that arise at a rapidly scaling company. This is a new role, reporting to the SVP of Finance and Business Operations. The position does not have direct reports, however there is potential to expand to full time as the company scales.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE  

This is an ideal role for an experienced contract manager, legal operations professional, or paralegal who thrives in high-growth environments and enjoys building systems to enable speed and accountability. Put simply, you get things done, and get them done right. You bring a high degree of organization to your work, and understand how to run a tight process.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
