  • Assist with regulatory initiatives relating to fixed income investments and markets and adherence to internal policies and procedures.
  • Lead cross-functional efforts to execute transactions and troubleshoot regulatory issues.
  • Work with and oversee the work provided by outside counsel on a variety of fixed income-related legal matters, ensuring that standards for service delivery and cost are met.
  • Provide support for Legal Department initiatives and matters as needed.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
  • Bachelor's Degree and Juris Doctor Degree (advanced work in legal specialty is necessary). Must have excellent professional credentials, including at least 6-8+ years of directly relevant work experience at a large law firm or peer investment manager, or a combination of the two.
  • Must be a member in good standing of a state bar, preferably Massachusetts.
  • Excellent organization, communication and interpersonal skills. Must write effectively, have excellent attention to detail, understand fixed income and capitalization structural issues. Must be able to communicate effectively with the investment team and demonstrate an ability to build strong relationships across an array of departments.
  • Must have the ability to formulate solutions to mitigate legal and other risk while supporting business objectives, present to business partners with confidence and clarity, thrive in a team-orientated environment, and be able to take ownership of projects.
