We are looking for a legal professional with a business mindset who has deep transactional experience in the venture capital and startup space to assist in the portfolio management service for the world’s largest portfolio of early-stage venture capital investments. 

As the Fund Services Legal Specialist, Fund Services, you will play a critical role in supporting Post-Close Actions (PCA) transactions (i.e. corporate actions post-investment) for Belltower’s fund administration clients and providing legal insight to the Fund Services team. You will participate in the review and execution of portfolio company transactions on behalf of our funds, manage risk for the business and for each fund, and help build the systems and processes needed to enable fund managers to navigate their portfolios throughout the lifecycle of their portfolio companies.

This role reports to the Fund Services Counsel.

• Project manage process improvement efforts to increase workflow efficiency and accuracy
• Support PCA operations by answering PCA team and fund lead questions with regards to PCA transactions
• Liaise with Fund Services and other Belltower teams (such as finance and accounting) to ensure swift processing of deployments, distributions, and records updates
• Investigate record discrepancies and coordinate with portfolio companies to correct
• Maintain and enhance a centralized repository of internal playbooks
• Review and close out backlog of PCA legal contractor tasks

You have: 

• Demonstrated legal experience
• 1-3 years of experience in the Venture Capital space with a familiarity for VC financings and exits
• Understanding of core financial concepts and a strong interest in the nuts and bolts of venture finance.
• Incredible attention to details - you spot edge cases others miss
• Strong organizational skills and a passion for optimizing processes
• Eagerness to leverage technology and process solutions to drive efficiency & reduce legal risks. 
• A proactive mindset and a positive attitude - you are adaptable and embrace change in a fast-paced environment.
