About The Position

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.
