📋 Description

• Build the Corporate Engine & IPO Readiness: Design and implement a best-in-class corporate governance framework to transition VAST from a late-stage private company to a public-market-ready enterprise. • Manage legal workstreams that identify and manage risk and prepare us for future diligence events. • Own the Board of Directors and Committee process: collaborate with the CLO and CEO on agendas, draft minutes, and manage board prep. • Act as the lead legal counsel for all M&A, joint ventures, and strategic investments. • Manage the full deal lifecycle from NDAs and due diligence to definitive agreement negotiation and post-closing. • Partner with Finance and Tax to lead VAST’s international expansion, including entity formation, intercompany agreements, and local regulatory compliance across EMEA, APJ, and beyond. • Serve as a trusted advisor to the People (HR) team on executive compensation, global equity incentive plans (including tax implications), and sensitive employment matters. • Build and scale "Legal Ops" processes, templates, and playbooks to drive efficiency.

🎯 Requirements

• J.D. with 6+ years of combined experience at a Tier 1 law firm (Capital Markets/M&A) and in-house at a high-growth, late-stage technology company. • Proven experience navigating the transition from private to public; you have ideally been "at the table" for an IPO or a major multi-billion dollar exit. • Deep expertise in corporate law, SEC reporting, and equity plan management. • Experience managing multinational corporate structures and the "Permanent Establishment" risks associated with rapid international scaling. • Exceptional ability to provide "business-first" legal advice. • You are a builder. You are excited by the prospect of creating a function from scratch rather than just maintaining a pre-existing one.

🏖️ Benefits

• A culture of "radical simplicity" and high-intensity innovation • The opportunity to report directly to a CLO at one of the fastest-growing companies in tech. • A "seat at the table" for the strategic transactions and governance decisions that will define the company's future.
