For official Cosm opportunities, always visit Summary: Cosm is scaling fast: new venues, new markets, new capital. This role owns the corporate machinery that makes that possible: governance and board support, global entity structure, financings and M&A, and the enterprise risk, audit, and control work that lets a company operate at institutional standard. We are looking for a lawyer trained in the corporate or M&A group of a major law firm who wants to help own this critical internal function. Responsibilities: • Capital, Structure, and Transactions: lead equity and debt financings and M&A — term sheet through closing, integration, and post-closing obligations. • Governance and the Board: board and committee support, the governance calendar, meeting materials, resolutions, consents, minutes, and a corporate record that holds up under diligence. • Enterprise Risk, Audit, and Controls: support enterprise risk management with operationalizing processes, and partner with finance and external auditors on controls that withstand external scrutiny. • Infrastructure and AI: Treat AI as core infrastructure rather than a pilot, and set the standards, guardrails, and quality bar for how Legal uses it. Requirements: • Big law corporate and M&A training. Four to ten years of practice, with substantial time in the corporate, M&A, or capital markets group of a major law firm. This is the primary filter for the role. • Real interest in risk and controls. Experience with enterprise risk, audit readiness, or internal controls, or a credible appetite to own it. • AI-curious. Actual fluency with emerging tools, and the instinct to rebuild a process rather than staff it. • High agency. Pragmatic judgment, the standing to advise executives directly, and comfort operating independently in a fast-paced, resource-lean environment. Location and Work Arrangements This position is based near Cosm’s Los Angeles area office. Cosm values in-person collaboration, and the role requires regular presence at the LA office.
