Remote About Extraordinary Brands Extraordinary Brands is a dynamic, multi-brand franchisor supporting a growing portfolio of leading boutique fitness and wellness brands, with five current brands and approximately 250 locations open or in development across the country. Our shared services model — spanning Legal, Franchise Development, Operations, Marketing, and Finance — fuels scalable growth while preserving what makes each brand unique. We're a growing organization with an entrepreneurial, collaborative culture, and we're actively expanding into additional boutique fitness and wellness concepts. Position Overview The Franchise Paralegal is a pivotal, highly visible role sitting at the intersection of Legal, Franchise Development, Operations, Marketing, and Finance. Reporting directly to the General Counsel, this person will become Extraordinary Brands' central hub for franchise administration — the go-to resource that franchisees, brand teams, and leadership rely on for accurate records, clear answers, and dependable follow-through. This is a hands-on, entrepreneurial role for someone who thrives on variety, takes ownership without being asked twice, and enjoys finding creative solutions to imperfect, sometimes messy situations. The Franchise Paralegal will lead the full implementation and administration of FranConnect across all franchise locations in our system. Along with core franchise administration duties, the Franchise Paralegal will provide direct legal-adjacent support to the General Counsel by preparing Franchise Agreements and related documents, assisting with Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs), drafting and maintaining agreement templates, providing support on litigation and corporate governance matters, and integrating newly acquired brands' records and systems into our infrastructure. The ideal candidate combines paralegal-level attention to detail and drafting ability with a genuine customer-service mentality, strong organizational instincts, and comfort operating amid ambiguity in a fast-growing, multi-brand environment.
