• Manage the investment portfolio and oversee transaction execution for venture capital investments and related activities.
• Develop and implement efficient legal and business processes that enable international operations to scale sustainably.
• Advise cross-functional teams on software integrations, intellectual property, licensing, and open-source licensing considerations.
• Translate complex legal matters into clear, practical recommendations that support business objectives and enable informed decision-making.

• Proven experience managing international subsidiaries and handling complex corporate transactions, including financing rounds, M&A, equity transactions, and strategic investments.

• Strong analytical, negotiation, communication, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to explain complex legal concepts clearly and concisely.
• A pragmatic, commercially minded approach to legal work, with a focus on finding efficient solutions and enabling business outcomes rather than relying solely on formal documentation.
