- Support the structuring, formation, launch, governance and ongoing operation of private investment funds across BlackRock’s global alternatives platform.
- Advise on a broad range of private fund structures, including hedge funds, funds of funds and illiquid private markets strategies.

- Provide legal guidance on fund marketing and distribution matters across applicable jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks.
- Partner with business and support functions on complex, time-sensitive matters and develop practical solutions across BlackRock products and services.
- Support evolving strategic areas, including secondaries transactions, access to wealth channels and semi-liquid products.
Your experience
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree and active admission to a U.S. state bar.
- Relevant legal experience in asset management or fund formation, gained within a major law firm, an investment management firm’s legal department or the alternative investment division of an investment bank.
- Experience with private fund formation and demonstrated ability to draft, negotiate and interpret complex fund documents and side letters.
- Knowledge of applicable regulatory frameworks, including the U.S. Securities Act and Regulation D/Regulation S, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), as well as other U.S. and non-U.S. laws impacting privately offered funds.
- Experience with retail alternative products is preferred, particularly as private market strategies expand through wealth channels and semi-liquid structures.
- Strong legal judgment and analytical, written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate sophisticated concepts clearly to colleagues at different levels.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple time-sensitive matters, coordinate across business and support functions, build strong working relationships and develop practical, business-minded solutions.

Tips for Your Remote Executive Vice President and General Counsel Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote executive vice president and general counsel openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search the current listings, find roles that match your background and practice area, and apply directly without waiting for openings to surface elsewhere.
Show your async legal leadership record
Remote employers at this level want evidence you have managed legal teams, board communications, and compliance programs without being in the room. Highlight experiences where you led high-stakes legal decisions and kept distributed stakeholders aligned through written memos, structured briefings, and documented policies.
Signal fluency with distributed governance
Remote general counsel roles require managing board relationships, executive committee updates, and outside counsel oversight entirely through video calls, shared document platforms, and async channels. Name the specific tools and governance workflows you have used to make that work at scale.
Target remote-first companies and distributed teams
Companies built around distributed workforces are the most reliable source of remote EVP and general counsel openings. Focus your search on remote-first technology firms, distributed financial services companies, and healthcare organizations with decentralized operations, since they build remote legal leadership into their structure by design.
Remote Executive Vice President and General Counsel Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote executive vice president and general counsel job?
Remote employers hiring at this level screen heavily for executives who can lead legal teams, manage board relationships, and drive compliance programs without in-person oversight. Demonstrating a history of async collaboration, clear written legal communication, and self-directed decision-making gives candidates a real edge. Remote-first companies and distributed tech firms are the most active hirers, and candidates who can show they have managed enterprise legal matters across time zones stand out.
Which companies hire remote executive vice president and general counsels?
Remote executive vice president and general counsel roles are posted by Shutterfly, BlackRock, and Montera and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology companies, distributed financial services firms, and large healthcare organizations with decentralized operations are among the most consistent hirers of general counsel talent at this level.
Can you get a remote executive vice president and general counsel job with no experience?
Yes, but remote roles at this seniority level are rarely entry points for lawyers without substantial in-house experience. Candidates early in their careers can target remote associate general counsel or senior legal counsel roles at distributed startups, building toward the EVP title. Demonstrating independent legal judgment, comfort with distributed workflows, and business-side fluency opens doors faster than tenure alone.
Do you need a degree for remote executive vice president and general counsel jobs?
Usually, yes. A Juris Doctor and active bar admission are standard requirements for executive vice president and general counsel roles, remote or otherwise. Beyond credentials, remote employers weigh demonstrated ability to lead legal strategy, manage outside counsel, and advise executive leadership without daily in-person access, so your body of work and business impact carry significant weight alongside formal qualifications.
