J.D. and currently licensed to practice and in good standing in your U.S. jurisdiction • 7+ years of tax experience, including substantial fund, entity, and transaction structuring work at a strong tax practice and in-house, with a demonstrated track record of identifying and implementing tax-efficient structures independently • Meaningful experience on the tax side of M&A — transaction structuring, tax diligence, negotiation of tax representations, covenants, and indemnities, and post-closing taxobligations • Experience with the tax mechanics of venture financings — SAFEs, convertible notes, and priced preferred rounds — plus QSBS planning, 83(b) elections, profits interests, and equity compensation structuring • Sound, independent judgment under deal pressure. You’ll work across the portfolio and across stages — formation and QSBS planning, equity and carry structuring, blockers and feeders, the tax provisions in financings and sale processes, carve-outs, and the cross-border questions that come with investors and operations outside the U.S. You’ll write the internal memos that senior leadership relies on, work closely with outside tax counsel and accountants, and be the person the deal team calls when the structure gets hard.
