Reporting to the General Counsel, you will serve as a key advisor to the CEO, CFO, and Board, guiding the company through complex disclosure obligations, securities transactions, and investor communications.

• Corporate Governance: Advise the Board and senior executives on governance best practices; maintain and update corporate policies and charters.
• Capital Markets & Transactions: Support equity/debt offerings, M&A activities, and related due diligence; provide securities law advice on financing strategies.
• Board Matters: Support the General Counsel in preparing for Board of Directors and Committee meetings, including drafting agendas, resolutions, and meeting minutes.
• Disclosure & Risk Management: Oversee compliance with Nasdaq listing standards and counsel on disclosure obligations, investor communications, and insider trading policies.
• Executive Compensation: Oversee and manage the legal aspects of the company's equity-based compensation plans and executive compensation matters.
• Cross-Functional Advisory: Partner with Finance, Treasury, HR and Compliance teams to align legal strategy with business goals.
• Strategic Initiatives: Performing additional duties and special projects as assigned

What We're Looking For

• Education: Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school.
• License: Active license in good standing with the bar in at least one U.S. state.
• Experience:

Requires 7+ years of relevant legal experience, with a combination of law firm and in-house public company experience strongly preferred.

Demonstrated expertise in U.S. securities law, corporate governance, and corporate transactions (M&A, financing).

Extensive experience drafting and reviewing SEC filings is a must.

• Exceptional legal judgment, analytical skills, and attention to detail.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex legal issues for non-legal business stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• High degree of professionalism, integrity, and ethical standards.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively with cross-functional teams.

Success Looks Like

• Zero material compliance issues with SEC or governance requirements.
• Timely and accurate filing of all disclosure documents.
• Positive feedback from the Board and Committees on governance support.
• Strong alignment of legal advice with business strategy and investor confidence.
