As a Capital Markets & Corporate Governance VP, you will serve as the primary legal architect and strategic advisor for Wellhub’s corporate financing, securities compliance, and public market readiness initiatives. Reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, you will operate with a high degree of autonomy, owning the legal frameworks for complex capital transactions and shaping our global corporate governance structure.

Hold ultimate accountability for the timely preparation, accuracy, and filing of all SEC regulatory submissions, including registration statements (e.g., Form S-1), prospectuses, and subsequent periodic reports (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K), ensuring seamless alignment with the SEC Reporting and Accounting teams.

Direct corporate governance frameworks at a master level, establishing boardroom policies, managing Board of Directors and Committee materials, and advising on shareholder relations and compliance protocols.

Act as a trusted advisor to the Chief Legal Officer and Executive Team, providing authoritative, independent legal counsel on the structural mechanics, risks, and regulatory implications of strategic financial initiatives.

Collaborate with the CLO, CFO, CEO, and external advisors on preparing the company for increased regulatory and compliance obligations

Own the strategic management of top-tier external law firms and underwriters' counsel, driving execution, accountability, and cost-effective legal spending.

Ensure airtight compliance with U.S. federal securities laws, SEC regulations, and stock exchange listing standards (NYSE/NASDAQ) globally.

Design and implement institutional controls regarding insider trading, investor relations communications, and public market disclosures.

Provide executive oversight and strategic direction with the broader Global Legal leadership team on cross-border corporate governance and ad-hoc strategic initiatives.

Live the mission: inspire and empower others by genuinely caring for your own wellbeing and your colleagues. Bring wellbeing to the forefront of work, and create a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable taking care of themselves, taking time off, and finding work-life wellness.

WHO YOU ARE

An accomplished corporate attorney with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school and an active license to practice law in good standing in the United States.

You possess 12+ years of progressive, high-level corporate finance and securities law experience, split between a top-tier major law firm and an in-house public company (or public-readiness tech environment).

An independent leader who has successfully steered high-growth companies through the legal lifecycles of an IPO process, follow-on equity offerings, or sophisticated debt issuances.

An absolute subject matter expert in SEC rules, corporate disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP reporting interactions, and modern corporate governance frameworks.

A highly commanding communicator who can distill dense, complex regulatory regimes into clear, strategic business advice for Board members and C-level executives.

An autonomous operator with a proven track record of managing multi-million dollar legal transactions from inception to close with minimal supervision.

A dedicated team player who works effectively across matrixed, multinational functions and displays an entrepreneurial mindset toward solving legal hurdles.
