Support and oversee strategic transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic investments, and other corporate development initiatives, including structuring, drafting, negotiation, and integration planning
Develop and continuously improve corporate and securities processes, playbooks, templates, and controls that scale with the business and enable efficient, repeatable execution
Work with outside counsel on specialized corporate, securities, tax, and cross-border matters, ensuring high-quality work product and efficient use of external resources
Collaborate with other members of the legal team on cross-functional projects, including equity-related employee communications, internal policies, and training for key stakeholders

6+ years of combined experience at a leading law firm and in-house at a technology or high-growth company, with a primary focus on corporate, M&A, capital markets, and/or securities matters
Deep understanding of corporate governance, transactions, and general corporate law for late-stage private or public-ready companies
Experience advising on securities and capitalization matters, such as equity plan administration, tender offers, and investor rights and communications
Demonstrated experience driving complex transactions and projects independently, including coordinating internal stakeholders and external advisors to completion
Strong drafting and negotiation skills, with attention to detail and an ability to translate complex legal concepts into clear, actionable advice
Excellent judgment, a high degree of ownership, and comfort operating in an environment of rapid growth and evolving priorities
A license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction and good standing with the relevant bar
Nice to have:
Prior in-house experience at a late-stage private company in the technology or AI sector
