Save Job

TriEdge Investments is a family office and technology company based in New York. We make concentrated investments in a few companies and incubate technology companies that solve problems identified by our investment team. Our focus is on select healthcare verticals with the mission to improve patient outcomes and reduce the complexity of healthcare through better investing and technology.

What We're Really Looking For We’re seeking our first in‑house lawyer to support fund operations and venture investments from formation through scale and eventual financings and exits. You’ll partner with the investment team, finance, incubations and portfolio companies to manage contracting, transactions, cap‑tables, risk mitigation, and keep the organization running smoothly while enabling speed.

Key Responsibilities

Advise on entity structuring, intercompany agreements, governance formalities across TriEdge and operating subsidiaries.

Form and maintain new entity structures; draft founder/employee equity documents; lead/quarterback seed and growth financings for incubations, including SPVs and co‑invests; coordinate diligence, disclosure schedules, and clean closings.

Own investor‑side paperwork for incubation raises—subscription agreements, side letters/MFNs, information and inspection rights, transfer/secondary paperwork, consents/notices, and cap call/distribution mechanics for SPVs—working closely with finance.

Maintain source‑of‑truth cap tables for incubations and direct venture positions—reconcile against closing documents, model dilution and pro‑rata, track rights, and surface decision points ahead of rounds and exits.

Support M&A processes, tender offers, secondaries, and IPO‑related matters (lock‑ups, transfer restrictions, information rights).

Own the end‑to‑end lifecycle for TriEdge’s vendor agreements—scoping, drafting, negotiating, and routing for approval; maintain a clause library and renewal calendar; and drive signature/record‑keeping so nothing lapses. Draft/review NDAs, vendor/MSAs, data‑processing agreements; maintain contract templates and clause library. Build playbooks and fallbacks that protect IP, indemnities, liability caps, and privacy.

Draft, negotiate, and quarterback commercial agreements with our clients/partners (MSAs, order forms, SOWs, licensing and data‑use terms). Build playbooks and fall‑backs so the business can move quickly while protecting key positions (IP, indemnities, liability caps, privacy).

Partner with human resources/finance to design and maintain cash compensation and equity programs across TriEdge and incubations—offer letters, incentive plans, and equity plans; size option pools, coordinate 409A valuations, draft plan documents and grant agreements, manage board approvals and refreshes, and ensure compliance with pay‑transparency, wage/hour, and post‑termination equity rules.

Serve as the embedded legal subject‑matter expert for Hypha as we build out legal skills—translate legal workflows into product requirements, define guardrails and governance (privilege, retention, redaction), curate training materials/prompts, and validate outputs for accuracy and risk.

Maintain source‑of‑truth cap tables across our venture portfolio—verify rounds and instruments, reconcile against closing documents, model dilution and pro‑rata, track rights, and surface decision points ahead of financings and exits.

Manage board and observer appointments; update policies (code of ethics, valuation policy, insider trading, cybersecurity); oversee incident response playbooks.

Scope matters, control budgets, and drive efficient outcomes with outside counsel.

Build self‑serve playbooks, checklists, and training for the investment team and founders.

8+ years experience in a law firm and/or in‑house, including experience at a VC, growth equity firm, or high‑growth startup.
