About the job
Join Us in Shaping the Future — EquipmentShare is Seeking a Corporate Development Counsel
At EquipmentShare, our goal extends beyond merely filling positions; we are building a premier team dedicated to pioneering innovations in an industry that has long remained stagnant. Our mission is to revolutionize the construction sector by empowering contractors and communities with cutting-edge technology, exceptional real-time support, and a team that is truly passionate about making a difference.
We are in search of a Corporate Development Counsel to become a vital part of our Corporate Headquarters in Columbia, MO. We are looking for an individual who is eager to grow with us, contribute their energy and passion to their work, and help us redefine the future of construction. In this role, you will oversee the legal facets of our M&A and strategic investment initiatives from initiation to completion—covering everything from initial structuring and due diligence to negotiations, closings, and integrations. This position is highly visible and requires close collaboration with senior leadership, business teams, and various stakeholders across the organization. The ideal candidate is inherently a 'deal-person' who can meld expert legal counsel with a practical, business-minded approach.
