Director, Corporate Legal and M&A

Director, Corporate Legal and M&A Rubrik (NYSE: RBRK) is on a mission to secure the world’s data. As organizations increasingly rely on data, Rubrik’s Security Cloud helps them protect, recover, and gain insight from their data against the growing threat of cyberattacks. We are a high‑growth, public technology company operating in a fast‑paced, mission‑critical industry, and our Legal team plays a central role in enabling the business while safeguarding the company and its stakeholders. The Role We are looking for an exceptional, business‑minded attorney to join Rubrik’s Corporate Legal team as a Director, Corporate Legal & M&A, reporting to the Deputy General Counsel, Corporate. This is a high‑impact, broad‑scope role spanning public‑company securities work, mergers and acquisitions, corporate compliance, and the legal stewardship of incident response. You will partner closely with Finance, Accounting, Investor Relations, Equity, Information Security, Sales, Channel, and the global business, and you will manage outside counsel on complex matters. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with sound, practical judgment and thrives operating with independence in a dynamic environment. In addition, you will manage a team so people leadership skills are required. What You’ll Do Securities & SEC Reporting Prepare, review, and manage the filing of SEC reports, including Forms 10‑K, 10‑Q, and 8‑K, the annual proxy statement, registration statements, and Section 16 filings (Forms 3, 4, and 5). Advise on compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, SEC rules, NYSE listing standards, and Delaware corporate law. Own disclosure controls and procedures and continuously improve the reporting calendar and process; partner with Finance, Accounting, and Investor Relations on earnings releases, scripts, and public disclosures. Support corporate governance, including Board and committee materials and meetings, governance policies, director independence questions, Rule 10b5‑1 plans, the insider trading program, and governance of Rubrik’s domestic and international subsidiaries. Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Transactions Lead the legal workstream on acquisitions, investments, dispositions, and strategic transactions end‑to‑end — from diligence and deal structuring through negotiation of definitive agreements and post‑closing matters — and work closely with Corporate Development to ensure legal terms reflect business priorities. Coordinate cross‑functional diligence across Finance, Tax, HR, Information Security, Product, and other internal legal stakeholders, and manage outside counsel and advisors. Support equity financing and capital markets matters as needed, including any debt, credit, or treasury‑related transactions. Corporate Compliance Own and continue to build Rubrik’s global trade compliance program, including U.S. export controls (EAR), sanctions, and related screening and classification processes. Own and mature the anti‑bribery / anti‑corruption program (FCPA, UK Bribery Act, and analogous laws), including policies, training, third‑party due diligence, and gifts/entertainment controls. Advise on channel and partner program compliance, ensuring partner agreements, incentives, and go‑to‑market programs meet legal and regulatory requirements. Develop policies, training, and monitoring across the corporate compliance portfolio and advise business stakeholders on day‑to‑day compliance questions. Incident Response Own the legal components of Rubrik’s incident response program, including leading the legal response to security incidents in coordination with Information Security, IT, Privacy, Communications, and senior leadership — directing forensics, insurers, and outside counsel to preserve privilege. Work with outside counsel and internal legal stakeholders to advise on breach‑notification obligations and securities and regulatory disclosure requirements, including SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules, and draft and coordinate regulatory, customer, and stakeholder notifications. Leadership & Team Management Lead, mentor, and grow a team of corporate legal professionals, setting clear priorities and high standards across securities, M&A, compliance, and incident response. You will manage and develop direct reports, allocate work across the team and outside counsel, build scalable processes and playbooks, and partner with the Deputy General Counsel, Corporate to shape the structure and capabilities of the corporate legal function as Rubrik scales. What We’re Looking For J.D. from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing of the California Bar (or eligibility to register as in‑house counsel in California). Approximately 8+ years of combined experience at a leading law firm and in‑house, with substantial time supporting a public company. Hands‑on public‑company securities experience, with deep working knowledge of ’33 Act and ’34 Act reporting, Section 16, Rule 10b5‑1 plans, stock‑exchange rules, and corporate governance best practices. Demonstrated experience leading technology M&A transactions end‑to‑end, including diligence, definitive agreements, and integration. Experience building or running corporate compliance programs — export controls/sanctions, anti‑bribery/anti‑corruption, and/or channel/partner compliance. Experience advising on the legal aspects of cybersecurity incident response, breach notification, and regulatory disclosure (experience at a cybersecurity or high‑growth technology company is a plus). A demonstrated willingness to lean into AI — actively adopting AI tools and helping transform how every part of the corporate legal function operates, from SEC reporting and M&A diligence to compliance and incident response. Excellent judgment, a pragmatic and business‑oriented approach, strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to operate independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment. People‑management and team‑building experience — directly managing, mentoring, and developing legal team members and managing outside counsel (depth of management experience commensurate with level). Comfort partnering with non‑legal stakeholders across Finance, Accounting, HR, Equity, Information Security, Sales, and Channel.
