The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  PayPal is hiring a Litigation Attorney in Auburn, AL.

• Role description

  A Litigation Attorney at PayPal owns Legal Project Management end to end, answers for it, and gets the credit too, all from Auburn, AL. Picture this: a freelance Litigation Attorney seat in Auburn, paying $80,000 - $110,000, where 6 years of doing the work earns you real say over how it gets done.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Absorb 7 of context fast and start contributing sooner
  • Provide hands-on support to colleagues and PayPal clients as needed
  • Track key metrics and report findings to your manager each week
  • Chase down the root cause instead of slapping on a patch
  • Earn the trust to make agile judgment calls without a committee

  • Deliver genuinely-flexible results that align with broader business objectives

  What You'll Bring

  • The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
  • Ability to learn new general systems quickly and apply them effectively
  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
  • The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
  • A collaborator who makes the senior review feel less like an exam
  • Hands-on familiarity with Clio, sharpened by Legal Project Management side projects

  PayPal exists for one stubborn reason: the general tools everyone settled for were never good enough, so we rebuilt them from Auburn, AL. Around PayPal, the loudest voice never automatically wins the general argument.

  The whole offer in one line: $80,000 - $110,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexible freelance hours that respect the life you have in AL.
