Job Description:

We’re looking for an experienced capital markets attorney with deep debt-side expertise to join our clients' legal team remotely. We’re seeking someone who brings specialized experience in structured debt.

Responsibilities:

•
Bring structured debt experience to the team — particularly in areas like direct lending, private credit, and bespoke financing.

•
Collaborate with existing capital markets counsel and deal teams on complex, specialized transactions.

•
Take the lead on ad hoc or non-standard deal structuring that falls outside of typical capital markets processes.

•
Help expand and refine our legal approach to debt-focused product offerings.

•
Work cross-functionally with business, legal, and product teams on a broad range of capital markets initiatives.

Minimum Qualifications:

•
A JD with strong experience in structured finance and capital markets law, particularly on the debt side.

•
Someone who can bring a fresh, practical perspective to credit transactions.

•
Comfort navigating unstructured or unusual deal formats — you’re the kind of person who says “Let’s figure this out,” not “That’s not market.”

•
Strong drafting and negotiation skills, especially when working in custom deal contexts.

•
Ability to work independently, manage complexity, and communicate clearly with business stakeholders.

Preferred Skills:

•
Interest or experience in ad hoc capital markets work.

•
Prior in-house experience at an asset manager or financial institution is a plus.

•
Familiarity with regulatory frameworks for debt issuance and structured products.

Compensation, Benefits & Location:

This role offers a range of competitive compensation starting at $150k and adjusted to take location and years of experience into consideration. We offer a highly competitive benefits package in the alternative legal services marketplace that includes health benefits, 401k, and more. Axiomites also get access to professional development tools and resources and learning and development programs. Axiomites predominately work remotely, with the exception that some clients require on-site presence.
