Mid-level Corporate Transactions Associate | $230K Salary | Hybrid Flexibility | San Francisco

Base Salary:
Around $230K (DOE) + bonus. This role is part of a specialist corporate & securities boutique embedded in the startup & venture capital ecosystem.

The Firm (in a nutshell):

• High-growth private tech and life sciences companies
• Founders and C‑suite executives
• Angel, seed, venture and secondary investment funds
• Institutional and individual investors in primary and secondary transactions

Work spans the full company lifecycle: formation → financings → strategic transactions / exits → secondary sales and investor liquidity. Small partner‑led teams, very hands‑on exposure, and genuine client contact from day one.

Role focus:

• Venture financings (seed through late‑stage preferred rounds)
• M&A (buy‑side and sell‑side for private companies and investors)
• Secondary transactions (private company stock and fund interests)
• General corporate & securities work (governance, cap tables, equity plans, investor rights, etc.)

You’ll run deals with partner support, manage day‑to‑day client communications, and be a key point of contact for founders, funds, and executives.
