VP, Corporate Counsel
Boulder, CO.
Legal – Legal /
Full-time /
Remote
Enveda is looking for a VP, Corporate Counsel to join our team remotely!
The contribution you will make:
We’re looking for a legal strategist who is currently thriving on the partnership track at an AM100 law firm or leading the legal efforts of a top-tier biotech company—but is motivated by the opportunity to build something extraordinary. You’re not making the move to Enveda for the sake of slowing down or changing scenery; in fact, you're excited by the kind of intensity and complexity that comes with helping to shape a high-growth, science-driven company.
You’re the kind of person who naturally leans into challenges and is energized by solving complex problems and moving ideas forward. You stay sharp by consuming a wide range of legal thought, from academic articles by leading corporate lawyers to real-time insights from practitioners navigating the same challenges in less formal spaces.
You believe most operational bottlenecks have a solution—often a smarter process, a clearer contract, or a tool that hasn’t been built yet. And you’re just the person to build it.
As a member of the Legal team, you will report to the SVP, Head of Legal.

- Corporate Objectives:Support our leadership team (e.g., SVP, Head of Legal, CFO, SVP of Business Development, and VP of Investor Relations) in developing and executing our corporate objectives.

- Leadership & Team Development: Support the legal team, providing mentorship, training, and development opportunities to foster growth within the department.
- External Counsel: Support relationships with external legal advisors and law firms, ensuring cost-effective and efficient use of legal services.
We’re Looking For:
- Education: J.D. (Juris Doctor) from an accredited law school.
- Experience: Minimum of 4 years of legal experience at an AM100 law firm supporting corporate transactions in the life sciences space, or in an in-house role leading corporate transactions at a biotech company.
- Expertise: Extensive knowledge of corporate law, contracts, compliance, and risk management.
- Leadership: Proven experience managing and mentoring legal teams, with a strong ability to collaborate across departments.
- Strategic Thinking: Ability to think strategically and provide sound legal counsel that aligns with business objectives.
- Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex legal concepts to non-legal stakeholders.
