Job Description

About the Role:This is a foundational hire. As Fetch's first Senior Corporate Counsel, you will take direct ownership of the company's corporate legal function, managing work that has historically been handled by outside counsel. You will sit at the center of our most consequential transactions and governance activities, including IPO readiness, equity management, and capital raises. You will report directly to our General Counsel and work closely with our Finance, People, and Executive teams.
If you have navigated the full lifecycle of a company preparing for and executing a public offering, and want to do that work again with greater ownership and impact, this role is built for you.
This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US offices or remotely in the United States.
Role Responsibilities: 
Corporate Records and Governance

• Maintain and administer all corporate records, including board minutes, written consents, resolutions, and organizational documents across all Fetch entities
• Work in concert with our equity compensation team on the capitalization table and all equity-related records with precision, ensuring accuracy at all times
• Draft, review, and execute board and stockholder consents for routine and non-routine corporate actions
• Oversee stock option plan administration, including grant approvals, exercises, early exercises, and forfeitures

Equity and Secondary Transactions

• Manage secondary market transactions, including tender offers, repricing, direct transfers, and structured liquidity programs
• Administer stock transfer processes, right of first refusal determinations, and transfer approval workflows
• Coordinate with the cap table management platform and transfer agent to ensure all transactions are properly recorded and compliant

Capital Markets and Financing

• Lead the corporate legal workstream for equity financing rounds, including Series rounds and any associated regulatory filings
• Support venture debt and credit facility transactions, including review of loan agreements, security documents, and covenant compliance
• Partner with outside counsel and the Finance team to manage the legal mechanics of complex financing structures

IPO Readiness and Public Company Preparation

• Own and drive the company's IPO readiness roadmap from a corporate governance and legal perspective
• Build and maintain the systems, records, and policies required for public company compliance before and after a public offering
• Coordinate S-1 and related registration statement preparation with outside counsel and internal stakeholders
• Advise on corporate governance best practices, board committee structures, and public company disclosure obligations

Corporate Restructuring and Entity Management

• Manage corporate restructuring initiatives, including subsidiary formations, mergers, dissolutions, and jurisdictional reorganizations
• Oversee foreign qualification filings and multi-entity compliance across all Fetch operating entities

Minimum Requirements:

• We care far more about what you have done than where you went to school. The ideal candidate has been in the room, rolled up their sleeves, and owns the result.
• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
• 12+ years of legal experience with meaningful time spent in-house at a high-growth technology or consumer company
• Direct, in-house experience supporting one to two IPOs, including hands-on ownership of corporate governance preparation, S-1 drafting support, and post-IPO compliance buildout. Law firm experience in this area prior to in-house is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience managing equity financing rounds as the internal corporate counsel lead, including drafting and negotiating term sheets, stock purchase agreements, and investor rights agreements
• Experience with venture debt and credit facilities, including working through term sheets, loan documents, and lender negotiations
• Experience supporting corporate restructuring transactions, including entity mergers, dissolutions, and cap table simplification efforts
• Deep familiarity with cap table management, equity plan administration, and secondary transaction mechanics
• Exceptional drafting skills and the ability to work independently on complex corporate matters with minimal supervision
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, resource-efficient environment where you are often the sole internal resource on a matter
