This is an opportunity to build structure around critical filing requirements, strengthen processes and controls, and help create a predictable, repeatable compliance calendar with minimal surprises.

What You'll Do

• Coordinate with cross-functional partners to ensure accurate transaction processing, reconciliations, reporting, issue resolution, approvals, signatures, and filing deadlines.
• Prepare and coordinate Section 16 filings, including Forms 3, 4, and 5, and maintain related beneficial ownership records under the direction of securities counsel.
• Support recurring SEC and public-company reporting, including equity-related portions of Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, proxy statements, registration statements, Form S-8 filings, annual reporting, and other disclosure materials.
• Prepare equity-related ASX announcements and notices and coordinate global equity regulatory requirements, including China SAFE and Australia ESS reporting.
• Maintain securities and equity records, compliance calendars, insider lists, blackout communications, and supporting documentation.
• Support insider trading policy administration through preclearance processes, restricted lists, blackout periods, employee communications, insider designation criteria, exception requests, and monitoring of automated assignments.
• Prepare Board and committee materials, resolutions, consents, and supporting documentation related to equity plans, grants, and corporate actions.
• Resolve escalated employee questions relating to equity administration and ESPP in partnership with internal and external stakeholders.
• Support equity and securities due diligence and integration activities related to mergers, acquisitions, financings, and other corporate transactions.
• Improve controls, documentation, processes, and appropriate use of technology or automation to increase accuracy and efficiency.

• Experience strengthening equity or securities processes through controls, standardization, technology, or automation.

What Sets You Apart

• Forward planning: You anticipate upcoming requirements, clarify ownership, and give stakeholders the runway needed to meet deadlines.
• Precision: You thoroughly check high-visibility work and understand why small details matter in publicly available filings.
