VP Corporate Counsel
VAST Data
• 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. • Support the CFO/CLO on capital markets activities, including future financing rounds, secondary offerings, and debt facilities. • 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. • Manage the corporate governance and annual compliance for all global subsidiaries and affiliates. • Serve as a trusted advisor to the People (HR) team on executive compensation, global equity incentive plans (including tax implications), and sensitive employment matters.
Job 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
