About the role

Position Description

The Senior Counsel, Corporate will play a critical role supporting the Company’s continued growth across the business. We are looking for a junior-to-mid-level corporate attorney with 3-5 years of experience to help us across a range of needs. Primarily, this person will support our public company and corporate legal work, including SEC filings and public disclosure matters (e.g., annual and quarterly reports, proxy statement preparation, and Section 16 and Section 13 reporting matters), NYSE compliance, capital markets and financing support, annual meeting preparation, and diligence and negotiations for potential M&A and other strategic transactions. As a high growth company, you will also help out with ad hoc commercial contracting, legal research, and other legal needs across the company as they arise. This role, which reports to our Associate General Counsel, is perfect for a junior-to-mid-level transactional attorney who is comfortable acting as a corporate generalist, and who is looking to stretch themselves, learn, and roll up their sleeves and lean in wherever needed in a highly dynamic environment.

We are not looking for a niche specialist: we are looking for a lawyer who is comfortable being uncomfortable. We are growing fast and every day presents new opportunities and challenging legal questions—we care more about your judgment, agility, and ability to learn and grow than your specific substantive experience. If you are someone who thrives in exciting and fast-moving environments, and are eager to grow and push yourself, this role may be for you.

Specific responsibilities may include:

  • Assist with preparing and reviewing our SEC filings and related disclosure materials, including our annual and quarterly reports, proxy statement, Section 16 and Section 13 reporting matters, and other public company reporting obligations
  • Support M&A and capital markets transactions, including diligence, document reviews, and deal timeline execution (i.e., drive deals forward!)
  • Assist with routine corporate legal work, including inter-company agreements, subsidiary management, corporate governance matters, board and committee resolutions and minutes
  • Support compliance with NYSE listing standards and other public company governance requirements
  • Help prepare for our annual meeting of stockholders, including supporting proxy-related work streams and related governance matters
  • Draft, review, and negotiate a variety of strategic transaction documentation and commercial, vendor, partnership, license, and other business agreements
  • Provide practical legal research and advice across a wide range of business teams
  • Help us mature our legal practices and approach, including with respect to routine corporate, disclosure, compliance, and operational matters

Minimum Qualifications:

  • A J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school and admission to practice law in at least one U.S. state
  • 3-5 years of corporate, securities, or transactional experience at a large law firm or in-house legal department
  • Experience supporting a public company with SEC filings and board- and committee-related governance needs, including proxy preparation
  • Experience with NYSE listing standards and related public company compliance matters
  • Experience supporting strategic transactions, including M&A diligence, M&A integration, capital markets, and/or financing transactions
  • Experience working at or supporting companies that build things (ideally complicated, heavily regulated things)
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage and prioritize multiple projects
