About Corgi
Corgi is building a full-stack AI financial infrastructure company. We design, launch, and manage our own ETFs, and we underwrite and issue our own insurance products. Backed by Y Combinator with $268M raised, 34 live ETFs across 4 trusts, 90+ more in the pipeline, and a growing insurance operation spanning RRGs, captives, and an admitted carrier.
We run our own SEC-registered investment adviser. We file our own registration statements. We respond to our own SEC comment letters. We need someone who can own the legal side of all of that.

· Own the SEC filing lifecycle across all Corgi ETF trusts: N-1A, 485A, 485(b), N-PORT, N-CEN, proxy statements, and annual updates.
· Draft, review, and negotiate prospectus and SAI disclosure for new fund launches and ongoing amendments.
· Lead SEC comment letter responses.
· Support RIA compliance program: Form ADV, code of ethics, compliance manual, annual compliance review, and regulatory examinations.
· Prepare and coordinate board and trustee materials: meeting agendas, resolutions, written consents, Section 15(c) packages, and governance documentation.
· Draft, review, and negotiate service provider agreements: custody, fund administration, distribution, index licensing, sub-advisory, ISDA/swap documentation, and AP ag...
