• Lead legal due diligence and coordinate with external counsel across multiple jurisdictions.
• Oversee corporate secretarial matters, governance and contract management.
• Identify legal and regulatory risks proactively and build scalable processes as the firm grows.

• In-house experience at a private equity or private credit fund is a strong plus.
