The posting

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

JOB OVERVIEW

We are hiring a Senior Corporate Counsel to lead M&A and strategic transactions for Saronic. You will be the legal point of contact for every acquisition, strategic investment and joint venture, working day to day with our Corporate Development team from first conversation through integration. You will own deals end to end: setting structure and strategy, running diligence, negotiating definitive agreements, and making sure acquired businesses are fully absorbed after closing.

You will also be a core member of the Corporate & Securities team, supporting the Associate General Counsel, Corporate & Securities on financings, equity, governance and entity management. This is a builder role: we need someone who can close a deal on a compressed timeline and also write the playbook so the next one closes faster.

RESPONSIBILITIES

M&A and Strategic Transactions

- Serve as the lead lawyer and legal point of contact for Corporate Development on acquisitions, strategic and minority investments, joint ventures and acqui-hires.

- Triage the deal pipeline with Corp Dev: give early, practical views on structure, legal risk and deal-breakers so the business can move quickly.

- Draft and negotiate NDAs, LOIs and term sheets, purchase and merger agreements, disclosure schedules, transition services agreements and ancillary documents.

- Advise on deal structure and economics, including stock vs. asset deals, earnouts, escrows and holdbacks, rollover equity, and retention and key-employee arrangements.

- Run diligence end to end: build scoping memos, manage the data room, coordinate subject-matter experts (IP, employment, tax, environmental, real estate, government contracts) and turn findings into deal protections and integration actions.

- Lead acquisitions of industrial and manufacturing assets (shipyards, production facilities and suppliers), coordinating real estate, environmental, permitting and workforce issues.

- Partner with Corp Dev, Finance and People on integration: Day 1 readiness, contract assignments and consents, entity cleanup, policy rollout, and 30/60/100-day legal integration plans.

- Build Saronic’s M&A infrastructure: template LOIs and purchase agreements, a diligence request list and playbook, an approval and signing matrix, deal checklists, and post-mortems after each deal.

Corporate and Securities

- Support equity and debt financings, including preferred stock rounds, convertible instruments, venture debt and credit facilities.

- Support board and committee operations: materials, minutes, written consents and approvals for transactions and equity issuances.

- Help manage securities compliance for a late-stage private company, including Reg D and Rule 701 exemptions, secondary sales and tender offers, and insider-trading policy.

- Support equity administration with Finance and People (Carta, 409A process, grant approvals) and subsidiary and entity management across jurisdictions.

- Cross-Functional Partnership

- Be a trusted, embedded partner to Corporate Development, Finance, Tax and People and to senior leadership on high-stakes decisions.

- Translate legal risk into clear business recommendations, giving answers and options rather than memos.

QUALIFICATIONS

- Juris Doctor from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar.

- 8+ years of corporate and transactional experience, including meaningful time in the M&A practice of a top-tier law firm.

- A track record of leading M&A deals end to end as the primary day-to-day lawyer, from LOI through closing and integration, not only supporting diligence.

- Strong grounding in private company equity, venture financings and corporate governance.

- Sound commercial judgment: you know which issues are worth fighting over and can give clear calls under time pressure with incomplete information.

- Excellent drafting, negotiation and communication skills, with comfort advising executives and working across functions.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS

- Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer

- Occasional standing and walking within the office

- Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment

- Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports

- Occasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies

- Lifting and carrying items up to 20 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, packages)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
