About the role

We are seeking a corporate lawyer to join our growing legal team. Reporting directly to the General Counsel, you will help scale our corporate governance function, lead key strategic transactions (e.g., mergers and acquisitions), and partner closely with our Finance Team and senior leadership on a broad range of high-impact projects, all while building the processes and infrastructure that keep us nimble and compliant.

You will be successful in this role if you are a business-minded attorney who is comfortable in a fast-paced environment, enjoys complex problem solving, and can exercise sound judgment in situations with incomplete information. You should be eager to roll up your sleeves, collaborate cross-functionally, and help define how a best-in-class corporate and securities practice operates at a high-growth AI company.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Lead equity and debt financings, liquidity events, and other capital markets activities, from initial structuring and term sheets through due diligence, documentation, and closing

• Own day-to-day securities compliance for a late-stage private company, including investor updates, equity program oversight, and related disclosure and compliance processes

• Manage the company’s corporate structure and global subsidiary governance, including entity formation, maintenance, regulatory compliance, and coordination with local advisors

• Partner with Finance, Accounting, Tax on financial audit support, capitalization, equity compensation, and corporate compliance matters, ensuring alignment between legal requirements and operational practices

• Support and oversee strategic transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic investments, and other corporate development initiatives, including structuring, drafting, negotiation, and integration planning

• Develop and continuously improve corporate and securities processes, playbooks, templates, and controls that scale with the business and enable efficient, repeatable execution

• Work with outside counsel on specialized corporate, securities, tax, and cross-border matters, ensuring high-quality work product and efficient use of external resources

• Collaborate with other members of the legal team on cross-functional projects, including equity-related employee communications, internal policies, and training for key stakeholders

• Provide practical, concise guidance to executives and business partners, weighing legal risk against business goals and helping drive informed decision-making

We’re looking for someone who has:

• 6+ years of combined experience at a leading law firm and in-house at a technology or high-growth company, with a primary focus on corporate, M&A, capital markets, and/or securities matters

• Deep understanding of corporate governance, transactions, and general corporate law for late-stage private or public-ready companies

• Experience advising on securities and capitalization matters, such as equity plan administration, tender offers, and investor rights and communications

• Demonstrated experience driving complex transactions and projects independently, including coordinating internal stakeholders and external advisors to completion

• Strong drafting and negotiation skills, with attention to detail and an ability to translate complex legal concepts into clear, actionable advice

• Excellent judgment, a high degree of ownership, and comfort operating in an environment of rapid growth and evolving priorities

• A license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction and good standing with the relevant bar

Nice to have:

• Prior in-house experience at a late-stage private company in the technology or AI sector

• Experience with cross-border corporate structures and international subsidiary management

• Experience supporting mergers and acquisitions and post-closing integration in a fast-paced environment

• An interest in autonomous systems and AI, and enthusiasm for working closely with technical and product teams
