• Serve as the primary point of contact for internal stakeholders (Finance, Tax, HR, Compliance) to establish new subsidiaries in support of international expansion.
• Own relationships with external legal counsel and global service providers to drive efficient registration, governance, and compliance activities.
• Direct and refine internal governance practices, maintaining centralized, accurate records via an entity management platform (e.g., Mercator). Evaluate and implement new technology tools and platforms as necessary.
• Guide and oversee third-party Entity Managers in the drafting and upkeep of key documentation, including incorporation papers, resolutions, officer/director updates, and powers of attorney.
• Create and manage robust tracking systems for deadlines, annual filings, and other jurisdiction-specific requirements to ensure ongoing compliance.
• Act as a senior contributor on cross-functional international legal projects, including M&A readiness, restructuring, or tax planning initiatives.
• Lead compliance management for U.S. state registrations and filings.
• Support broader legal department projects and strategic initiatives as needed.

• Demonstrated ability to manage ambiguity, evaluate complex data, and develop scalable legal solutions across jurisdictions.
• Experience managing cross-functional relationships and communicating effectively with executive stakeholders.
• Highly organized with a meticulous attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
