• Support IPO readiness projects, including building out processes to meet our current and future SEC reporting obligations.
• Manage outside counsel on Capital Markets and Finance matters for timely, high-quality advice on a cost-effective basis.
• Track legal and market developments that could affect the business before they become a problem and flag them early.
• Support corporate governance work as needed, including board and committee meeting prep and corporate resolutions.

You'll thrive in this role if:

• You're experienced at drafting, reviewing and negotiating complex corporate financing agreements, whether at a law firm or in-house.

• You are curious, interested in being challenged with new legal and business projects, and want to be part of a growing team and company.
• You're humble and thoughtful, operating without needing much direction.
• You want to build something, not maintain it.
• You partner comfortably with our Capital Markets and Finance executives.

• Exceptional analytical, writing and communication skills, including the ability to translate legal issues for non-lawyers.

• Familiarity with consumer financial products and the regulations that come with them.
• In-house experience at a late-stage private company, including exposure to investor relations or pre-IPO readiness work.
