Associate General Counsel, Corporate
Mission Lane
Job Description
<div class="content-intro"><p><a href="https://himalayas.app/companies/mission-lane">Mission Lane</a> is combining the power of data, technology, and exceptional service to pave a clear way forward for millions of people on the path to financial success. By attracting top talent and leveraging cutting-edge technology, we’re enabling people to unlock real financial progress. Sound like a mission you can get behind?</p></div><p>We're looking for an Associate General Counsel to own legal support for the Finance team and our capital markets and securitization program, reporting to the Deputy General Counsel.</p><h3>The impact you'll make:</h3><p>Behind every <a href="https://himalayas.app/companies/mission-lane">Mission Lane</a> credit line is capital, and behind that capital is legal work that has to hold up: equity investments, ABS transactions and SEC filings. The Associate General Counsel in this role keeps that footing solid, so Capital Markets and Finance can keep unlocking the capital that moves more people further down their path to financial progress. You’ll do that by:</p><ul>
<li>Serving as legal lead on ABS transactions, debt and structured debt deals, and M&A transactions</li>
<li>Drafting, reviewing and negotiating transaction documents, credit facilities and third-party contracts with partner banks, service providers, and technology vendors</li>
<li>Supporting IPO readiness projects, including building out processes to meet our current and future SEC reporting obligations</li>
<li>Managing outside counsel on Capital Markets and Finance matters so we get timely, high-quality advice on a cost effective basis</li>
<li>Tracking legal and market developments that could affect the business before they become a problem and flagging them early</li>
<li>Supporting corporate governance work as needed, including board and committee meeting prep and corporate resolutions</li>
</ul><h3>You'll thrive in this role if:</h3><ul>
<li>You're experienced at drafting, reviewing and negotiating complex corporate financing agreements, whether at a law firm or in-house.</li>
<li>You have real, recent experience with SEC reporting and disclosure.</li>
<li>You are curious, interested in being challenged with new legal and business projects, and want to be part of a growing team and company.</li>
<li>You're humble and thoughtful, and you operate without needing much direction. You'd rather bring a proposed solution to a problem than a question and you spot the fundamental issue before anyone asks you to look for it.</li>
<li>You want to build something, not maintain it. If <a href="https://himalayas.app/companies/mission-lane">Mission Lane</a> goes public, you'd help build our SEC reporting and corporate compliance programs and shape how they work.</li>
<li>You partner comfortably with our Capital Markets and Finance executives in a room where the legal question is real but isn't the only thing on the table and where your read on the situation carries weight
