Kikoff's credit building app is the the fastest way to build credit safely, with plans from $5/month. Backed by Lightspeed.
About the role
This is Kikoff's first dedicated securities and corporate counsel role. You will drive corporate and securities work, build the systems and discipline a public company requires, and be the in-house expert on financings, governance, and equity. If and when the company pursues an initial public offering, you will be central to it.
What they're looking for
- D. and active membership in good standing in a U.S. state bar, admitted in California or eligible to register as in-house counsel here
- 8–15 years of post-J.D. experience, with substantial securities and capital markets work at a leading law firm
- Fluency in the Securities Act and Exchange Act frameworks that govern private financings and public reporting, and the judgment to know which questions are genuinely hard
- A record of seeing complicated processes through to closing
- The ability to explain legal requirements and risk to people who are not lawyers, and to be credible with a CFO, an audit partner, and a banker in the same afternoon
- Comfort with ambiguity, incomplete information, and doing unglamorous work yourself. There is no one below you to hand it to. You will need to build new structure, not inherit it
