About the role

  • You will be the "legal architect" for VAST’s corporate infrastructure.
  • Design and implement a best-in-class corporate governance framework to transition VAST from a late-stage private company to a public-market-ready enterprise.
  • Act as the lead legal counsel for all M&A, joint ventures, and strategic investments.
  • Manage legal workstreams that identify and manage risk and prepare us for future diligence events.
  • Partner with Finance and Tax to lead VAST’s international expansion, including entity formation, intercompany agreements, and local regulatory compliance across EMEA, APJ, and beyond.

Requirements

  • J.D. with 6+ years of combined experience at a Tier 1 law firm (Capital Markets/M&A) and in-house at a high-growth, late-stage technology company.
  • Proven experience navigating the transition from private to public; you have ideally been "at the table" for an IPO or a major multi-billion dollar exit.
  • Deep expertise in corporate law, SEC reporting, and equity plan management.
  • Experience managing multinational corporate structures and the "Permanent Establishment" risks associated with rapid international scaling.
  • Exceptional ability to provide "business-first" legal advice.
  • You are a builder. You are excited by the prospect of creating a function from scratch rather than just maintaining a pre-existing one.
Benefits
  • The opportunity to report directly to a CLO at one of the fastest-growing companies in tech.
  • A "seat at the table" for the strategic transactions and governance decisions that will define the company's future.
  • A culture of "radical simplicity" and high-intensity innovation.
