Senior Counsel, Tax & Structuring

About this role

About Us Red Cell Partners is an incubation firm building and investing in rapidly scalable technology-led companies that are bringing revolutionary advancements to market in three distinct practice areas: healthcare, cyber, and national security. United by a shared sense of duty and deep belief in the power of innovation, Red Cell is developing powerful tools and solutions to address our Nation’s most pressing problems.

Red Cell is hiring a mission-driven Senior Counsel : Tax & Structuring to find and drive tax efficiencies across our funds, our portfolio, and our transactions. This is a senior, high-autonomy role for a tax lawyer with deep vehicle and deal structuring experience who wants to put it to work across a portfolio, alongside our internal finance team, internal corporate lawyers, outside counsel , and accounting advisors .

At Red Cell, we build and invest in companies tackling some of the most challenging problems in healthcare, cyber, and national security. You’ll help make that possible through your role structuring the vehicles that fund those companies and the transactions that ultimately exit them — efficiently, and without surprises at closing . You’ll report to our General Counsel, while also partnering closely with our Assistant General Counsel: Transactions and our internal finance team to find ways for us to operate more efficiently from a tax perspective , with the independence to make the call without day-to-day supervision.

You might design the entity structure for a new incubation one day, pressure-test the tax terms of a purchase agreement the next, and brief outside counsel on a fund or feeder structure the week after. You’ll work across the portfolio and across stages — formation and QSBS planning, equity and carry structuring, blockers and feeders, the tax provisions in financings and sale processes, carve-outs, and the cross-border questions that come with investors and operations outside the U.S.

You’ll write the internal memos that senior leadership relies on, work closely with outside tax counsel and accountants, and be the person the deal team calls when the structure gets hard. The companies you support are solving hard problems in healthcare, cyber, and national security , and the legal work here is a path to impact, not a cost center. We work hard and believe in what we’re building. And we take our work seriously, but not ourselves.
