  • You'll be doing the work-and doing it well.

Nice to have

  • Your M&A experience is rooted in the startup ecosystem: acquisitions of early- and growth-stage companies, acqui-hires, asset deals, and founder exits to strategics or financial buyers.
  • Startup-side M&A experience is strongly preferred over public company M&A.
  • Backgrounds at Cooley, Orrick, Fenwick, Wilson Sonsini, Gunderson, Goodwin, Latham, or similar are preferred-but what matters most is that you have run deals, not just supported them.
  • 4+ years of M&A and emerging companies experience at a reputable firm.

Compensation

  • Modern tooling. No billable hours.

Benefits

  • Eligibility for company benefits
  • Run venture financings (priced rounds, SAFEs, convertible notes), formations, equity issuances, and related emerging companies matters for both companies and investors, start to finish.
