• Own Convergent's legal strategy – Set the overall legal and risk framework for the organization and all FROs. Advise the President/CEO and leadership team on significant decisions, structural questions, and areas of legal or regulatory exposure—before they become problems. • Lead IP strategy and governance – Build and maintain Convergent's IP strategy across the FRO portfolio: when to file, what to protect, how to structure licensing and spinout transactions. Work with FRO CEOs to ensure IP decisions are made deliberately and early. Manage relationships with outside patent counsel and help develop simple playbooks that empower FRO teams to make good disclosure decisions without escalating everything. • Manage and develop the legal team – Provide strategic direction to the FRO General Counsel and Contracts Counsel. Set clear escalation norms, and ensure the function is operating as a cohesive unit—not a collection of individual contributors. • Own outside counsel relationships – Manage Convergent's roster of outside counsel across nonprofit law, patents, corporate transactions, employment, and international matters. Negotiate rates, evaluate performance, and make sure the right firm is working on the right matter at the right price point. • Ensure 501(c)(3) compliance across the portfolio – The disregarded LLC structure protects corporate liability, not tax-exempt status. You'll ensure that FRO activities are monitored for exempt-org compliance, flag risks before they become IRS issues, and maintain strong oversight relationships with specialized outside counsel. • Navigate international and regulatory complexity – Convergent has UK entities, government-funded FROs, and an evolving set of international relationships. You'll ensure the organization is on the right side of GDPR, OFAC, anti-bribery statutes, and other cross-border requirements. • Drive deal strategy on complex transactions – Be at the table early on spinout structures, licensing agreements, FRO graduations, and university partnerships—not just at the contract stage. Help shape the deal before the lawyers are handed a draft. • Build systems and playbooks – Develop the templates, process documentation, and institutional knowledge that let Convergent's legal function scale without scaling headcount linearly. The goal is a legal function that makes the rest of the organization faster, not slower.
