This is a highly visible, hands-on role ideal for an attorney coming from a strong corporate/ECVC law firm background who is accustomed to managing multiple transactions and clients simultaneously, operating independently, and driving workstreams forward proactively with a high level of detail and responsiveness.

6-8+ years of experience in corporate law, M&A, and emerging companies/venture capital (ECVC), preferably from a top-tier law firm.
Strong experience supporting high-growth technology, healthcare, or venture-backed companies through formation, financing, governance, and exit transactions.
Deep understanding of corporate governance fundamentals, including cap tables, entity management, registrations, organizational structure, and board governance processes.
Experience managing transactions end-to-end while balancing multiple priorities and stakeholders in fast-moving environments.
Highly detail-oriented with strong follow-through and project management skills; able to independently drive workstreams and maintain momentum without extensive oversight.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to proactively provide updates, escalate issues, and collaborate cross-functionally.
Demonstrated ability to take and apply feedback constructively while operating with a solutions-oriented mindset.
Ability to identify and flag healthcare and regulatory considerations within broader corporate transactions and strategic initiatives.
Comfortable operating as a hands-on legal generalist in a rapidly scaling organization with evolving priorities.

Responsibilities

Lead and manage corporate transactions including M&A (from LOI through post-closing), corporate restructurings, and strategic growth initiatives.
Support post-deal integration activities, including governance updates, entity consolidation and clean-up projects, intercompany agreements, and reconciliation of outstanding obligations.
Own subsidiary governance and corporate hygiene efforts across the organization, including maintaining organizational documents, board consents, registrations, licensing support, and entity compliance.
Support fundraising and financing diligence processes, including managing data rooms, reviewing and maintaining capitalization tables, and coordinating entity formation activities.
Partner closely with Finance, Accounting, Compliance, Product, and Operations teams to align legal strategy with business priorities and operational execution.
Identify and proactively escalate legal and regulatory risks, particularly in healthcare and other regulated environments, while providing practical business-oriented solutions.
Manage outside counsel relationships for corporate, M&A, securities, and governance matters to ensure efficient and high-quality execution.
