This hands-on role requires you to personally handle the majority of day-to-day legal work, shape the company's legal strategy, drive securities offerings and corporate transactions, and support compliance with U.S. federal securities laws. You will also provide legal support across various areas, maintain governance over the company, and build on the legal function's infrastructure.
