Description
Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Senior Counsel, Corporate to join our Legal team.
Position Description
The Senior Counsel, Corporate will play a critical role supporting the Company’s continued growth across the business. We are looking for a junior-to-mid-level corporate attorney with 3-5 years of experience to help us across a range of needs. Primarily, this person will support our public company and corporate legal work, including SEC filings and public disclosure matters ( e.g. , annual and quarterly reports, proxy statement preparation, and Section 16 and Section 13 reporting matters), NYSE compliance, capital markets and financing support, annual meeting preparation, and diligence and negotiations for potential M&A and other strategic transactions. As a high growth company, you will also help out with ad hoc commercial contracting, legal research, and other legal needs across the company as they arise. This role, which reports to our Associate General Counsel, is perfect for a junior-to-mid-level transactional attorney who is comfortable acting as a corporate generalist, and who is looking to stretch themselves, learn, and roll up their sleeves and lean in wherever needed in a highly dynamic environment.
We are not looking for a niche specialist: we are looking for a lawyer who is comfortable being uncomfortable. We are growing fast and every day presents new opportunities and challenging legal questions—we care more about your judgment, agility, and ability to learn and grow than your specific substantive experience.

Assist with preparing and reviewing our SEC filings and related disclosure materials, including our annual and quarterly reports, proxy statement, Section 16 and Section 13 reporting matters, and other public company reporting obligations

Assist with routine corporate legal work, including inter-company agreements, subsidiary management, corporate governance matters, board and committee resolutions and minutes
Support compliance with NYSE listing standards and other public company governance requirements
Help prepare for our annual meeting of stockholders, including supporting proxy-related work streams and related governance matters
Draft, review, and negotiate a variety of strategic transaction documentation and commercial, vendor, partnership, license, and other business agreements
Provide practical legal research and advice across a wide range of business teams
Help us mature our legal practices and approach, including with respect to routine corporate, disclosure, compliance, and operational matters
Minimum Qualifications:
A J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school and admission to practice law in at least one U.S. state
3-5 years of corporate, securities, or transactional experience at a large law firm or in-house legal department
