About the role

  • As the first legal hire at Logos Space, you will bridge the gap between ambitious aerospace innovation and sound, forward-thinking legal strategy.
  • Our Legal function is directly responsible for safeguarding and accelerating our network deployment through complex transactional drafting, sophisticated corporate structuring, and navigating advanced regulatory landscapes.
  • Furthermore, you will serve as a key advisor to the executive leadership team, managing the legal strategy for large-scale institutional fundraising and corporate financing rounds by effectively leveraging and partnering with our expert outside counsel.

Responsibilities

  • Fundraising & Corporate Financing Strategy: Partner with the CEO, VP of Corporate Development & Operations, and executive leadership to prepare for and structure large-scale institutional fundraising rounds (Series A/B/C) and strategic corporate financing.
  • You will manage the internal legal due diligence process and coordinate closely with our expert outside counsel to review term sheets, definitive investor agreements, and ensure smooth execution.
  • Build the Legal Infrastructure: Architect Logos Space's legal foundation from scratch. Establish standard templates, NDA processes, contract management workflows, and corporate policies that enable the company to move fast without compromising security.
  • Deal Structuring & Advanced Negotiations: Partner closely with the VP of Corporate Development & Operations and Head of Business Development to structure, draft, and close complex commercial transactions, strategic partnerships, anchor customer agreements, and vendor/supplier contracts.
  • You don't just spot risks - you actively collaborate with engineering and business teams to solve the hardest legal, commercial, and financial puzzles in the space industry.
  • Partner with the CEO, VP of Corporate Development & Operations, and executive leadership to prepare for and structure large-scale institutional fundraising rounds (Series A/B/C) and strategic corporate financing.
  • You will drive legal solutions from the initial whiteboard sketch to final execution, establishing the blueprint for our legal operations as we scale.

Requirements

  • You are comfortable being a department of one, managing a high volume of diverse requests, and prioritizing ruthlessly.
  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with the California State Bar (or eligible to register as In-House Counsel).

Nice to have

  • Experience handling growth-stage corporate financing (Series A through C+) or complex project financing for infrastructure/aerospace.
  • Experience in the aerospace, satellite communications (SatCom), telecommunications, or defense-tech sectors.
  • Familiarity with government procurement, defense contracting (FAR/DFARS), or dealing with dual-use technology regulatory frameworks (ITAR/EAR).
  • Experience handling intellectual property portfolios (patents, trade secrets) in hardware- or network-heavy environments.
  • Logos Space Services is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering creativity, curiosity and diverse perspectives among employees.
  • Offers will be contingent on the candidate's ability to access export-controlled information under U.S. law.
  • Given our dual-use focus, familiarity with USG procurement and government contracting frameworks is a major plus as we secure key commercial and public sector deals.
  • 8-10+ years of legal experience, ideally combining foundational training at a top-tier law firm with in-house experience at a high-growth technology, aerospace, or defense startup.
