About the Role
Nscale is looking for a Director, Securities Counsel to own the company's securities law compliance and public company reporting obligations in the US.
This is a full-time, dedicated role responsible for ensuring all periodic and annual SEC filings are accurate, timely, and fully compliant, working hand-in-hand with Finance, Investor Relations, Communications, Rewards & Benefits, and all functions that feed into the reporting and filing process.
You'll have the opportunity to help shape the operating standards behind a next-generation AI cloud platform, working on complex regulatory and financial reporting challenges with real ownership and impact. This is a chance to play a meaningful role in ensuring Nscale meets the highest standards of public company governance in a fast-moving environment. Responsibilities include:
- Own the legal accuracy and quality of Nscale's SEC reporting cycle, including quarterly and periodic filings and the Annual Report and Proxy Statement.
- Draft and review risk factor disclosures, financial statement disclosures, and other filing content to ensure compliance with SEC requirements.
- Provide Legal review and sign-off on filings that are run through the Finance function, acting as the key legal partner throughout that process.
- Coordinate cross-functionally with Finance, Investor Relations, Communications, Rewards & Benefits, and all functions that feed into public filings, ensuring information gathered is accurate and complete.
- Sit within Nscale's SOX compliance process, partnering closely with SOX teams to ensure controls and reporting requirements are met.
- Monitor the regulatory calendar to keep public filings up to code on an ongoing, periodic basis - not just during the four peak reporting windows each year.
- Monitor regulatory developments and changes, including scanning and analysis, to ensure the company is informed about changes to the applicable regulatory framework.
- Build strong working relationships with senior stakeholders across Legal, Finance, Investor Relations, Communications, and Rewards & Benefits.
- Advise the business on securities law requirements, filing best practice, and emerging regulatory developments affecting public company disclosure.
- Provide support on equity and debt capital markets transactions, including registered offerings, private placements, and convertible notes.
Who You Are
- Qualified attorney (JD or equivalent), licensed to practice in the US, preferably a member of the NY bar.
- Minimum 5 years experience as a US securities lawyer.
- Significant experience in US securities law, either in-house at a publicly listed company or at a law firm advising public company clients.
- Strong working knowledge of SEC reporting requirements, including 10-K/10-Q/8-K filings, proxy statements, risk factor drafting, and financial statement disclosure.
- Experience advising public companies on Securities Act and Exchange Act matters.
- Experience working within or alongside a SOX compliance framework.
- Excellent interpersonal skills and temperament; able to build trust and work effectively with a wide range of cross-functional senior stakeholders.
- Meticulous attention to detail and a strong sense of ownership over accuracy and quality.
- Based in the US.
Nice to haves
