Our client, a thriving, specialized cloud provider and AI-hyperscaler, has exclusively retained Solutus Legal Search to assist its executives in hiring a seasoned corporate attorney to serve as the company’s Deputy General Counsel, Capital Markets and Strategic Transactions. This attorney will report directly to the General Counsel and will be responsible for building and managing a global strategic transactions legal team. This extremely well-funded company is in an exciting stage of explosive growth and expansion. Our client is looking for a legal executive that has an entrepreneurial outlook, is a curious and independent thinker, is nimble in a fast-paced and collaborative environment, and isn’t fazed by a little chaos.
The successful candidate will work closely with the C-suite, the corporate development arm of finance, and other business teams on capital markets and strategic agreements and transactions. S/he will oversee a team of paralegals and lawyers and will have a minimum of 15 years of experience, with a heavy focus on complex equity and debt offerings.
The successful candidate may work from anywhere within the United States but must be willing and eager to travel regularly and as needed to company headquarters in New Jersey and offices in New York, San Francisco (opening July 2024), and future offices. The successful candidate also will be expected to accommodate their internal clients’ working hours for meetings or calls, which may largely be on east coast hours.
Our client hires strong lawyers who enjoy collaborating with their peers. Though the lawyers have expertise in an area, they are not siloed and will jump in to support other areas of the business. This results in natural cross-functional training, as well as a collaboration driven work environment.
Compensation for this position consists of a base salary range from $290,000 - $340,000, 30% bonus target, and an equity grant. The total compensation package will vary and depend on the candidate’s level of seniority, number of years of directly relevant experience, and geographic location.
This is a unique opportunity to join a rapidly scaling legal team whose work is crucial to the company’s meteoric rise. You will be surrounded by some of the best talent in the industry and will enjoy a genuinely collaborative and innovative company culture.
