- Support fundraising, financing, and other transactions across the portfolio.
- Assist with diligence, document review, closing processes, and coordination with investors and outside counsel.
- Help keep legal workstreams organized and progressing towards completion.
- Support the Head of Finance with founder equity, option pools, grants, vesting arrangements, and other equity-related matters.

- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and follow them through to completion.
- Practical, business-oriented approach to legal work, with the ability to balance risk, speed, and business objectives.
- Clear written and verbal communication, particularly the ability to explain legal issues in straightforward business terms.
