Job description
Company Overview:

Soros Fund Management LLC (SFM) is a global asset manager and family office founded by George Soros in 1970. With $28 billion in assets under management (AUM), SFM serves as the principal asset manager for the Open Society Foundations, one of the world's largest charitable foundations dedicated to advancing justice, human rights, and democracy.

Distinct from other investment platforms, SFM thrives on agility, acting decisively when conviction is high and exercising patience when it's not. With permanent capital, a select group of major clients, and an unconstrained mandate, we invest opportunistically with a long-term view. Our teams operate with autonomy, while cross-team collaboration strengthens our conviction and empowers us to capitalize on market dislocations.

At SFM, we foster an ownership mindset, encouraging professionals to challenge the status quo, innovate, and take initiative. We prioritize development, enabling team members to push beyond their roles, voice bold ideas, and contribute to our long-term success. This culture of continuous growth and constructive debate fuels innovation and drives efficiency.

Our impact is measured by both the returns we generate and the values we uphold, from environmental stewardship to social responsibility. Operating as a unified team across geographies and mandates, we remain committed to our mission, ensuring a meaningful, lasting impact.

Headquartered in New York City with offices in Greenwich, Garden City, London, and Dublin, SFM employs 200 professionals.

Team Overview:

The SFM legal and compliance team is a seasoned group of attorneys, compliance officers, paralegals and administrative support professionals. Our goal is to provide timely, business-oriented legal solutions that advance SFM's business objectives, while protecting its legal and financial interests and reputation. We support all aspects of SFM's business including providing advice and counsel to senior management, negotiating complex investment transactions, drafting and reviewing contracts, managing disputes and litigation, and ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Job Overview:

SFM is seeking a recent or upcoming college graduate to join its team as a Legal Analyst in New York City. SFM Legal Analysts work alongside SFM attorneys, as well as other SFM investment and non-investment personnel, to handle the full range of investment transactions that SFM undertakes, as well as all other legal matters involving the firm. This role therefore offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the legal department of a sophisticated global investment firm and may have special appeal to individuals interested in exploring a legal career before applying to law school or other graduate studies. This is a two-year position (with potential for extension) and requires a minimum two-year commitment.

Reports To: Assistant General Counsel

Major Responsibilities
  • Assist attorneys and external counsel in reviewing, documenting and closing a wide range of investment transactions.
  • Support attorneys in reviewing common legal agreements, including non-disclosure agreements, engagement letters, and third-party contracts.
  • Prepare account opening documentation and process Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requests.
  • Collaborate with attorneys and the SFM Trade Support team to manage various corporate actions and trading matters.
  • Support attorneys with fund-related litigation.
  • Manage the storage and dissemination of Legal Department files.
  • Assist the SFM Compliance team in support of the firm's compliance and regulatory practices.
  • Maintain positive working relationships across the SFM platform, as well as with external counsel and third-party vendors.
  • Support attorneys with other miscellaneous tasks, as required.
What We Value:
  • Bachelor's degree, with excellent academic record
  • Interest in gaining exposure to the legal profession, specifically in the context of investment transactions and/or investment funds
  • Prior experience in a legal or investment firm setting is a strong plus, but not required
  • Prior customer service experience is beneficial
  • Team player with a positive, "can-do" attitude
  • Highly responsive, diligent and detail-oriented
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills, both verbal and written
  • Ability to multitask and manage time effectively in a fast-paced environment
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat


We anticipate the base salary of this role to be between $75,000-$85,000. In addition to a base salary, the successful candidate will also be eligible to receive a discretionary year-end bonus.

In all respects, candidates need to reflect the following SFM core values:

Integrity // Teamwork // Smart risk-taking // Owner's Mindset // Humility
