About the role

Wellington Management in Boston seeks an experienced private funds counsel to support its Private Funds Legal Team, focusing on formation, operation, and governance of private credit and equity funds, including cross-border structures. You will partner with business, investment and compliance teams to manage regulatory matters, develop scalable fund lifecycle processes, and guide strategic initiatives across the US, Cayman and Europe in a dynamic private markets environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
