Why join Giga <ul><li>The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at.

Youâll drive NDAs to execution independently, without attorneys needing to be involved. Youâll maintain a centralized legal intake process â a single place where requests come in, get triaged, and get worked â and then hold the rest of the company accountable to using it. Youâll own the signature pipeline end to end: queuing documents, sending them out, and tracking them to completion. This is a highly autonomous role: youâll be given the outcome we need and trusted to enforce the process to get there, adapting as priorities shift. This role starts as an individual contributor with real scope across every project at Giga, and thereâs a clear path to take on bigger, more complex work as you prove out the process.

You don't wait to be told what to do, you spot the gap and fill it. When there's work to be done, you do it. You make decisions with the information you have, move fast, and adjust along the way.
