Help Wanted: SEC Looking for a New Chief of OMA

Want to work for the SEC? Longtime Chief of Corp Fin’s Office of Mergers & Acquisitions Ted Yu was recently promoted to the position of Associate Director – Legal, which has created an opening for his former position.  Here’s the summary description of the position from the USAJobs website:

The Office of Mergers and Acquisitions (OMA) within the Division of Corporation Finance administers the SEC’s rules and regulations for tender offers, beneficial ownership reporting, “going-private” transactions, proxy solicitations, business combinations transactions, and rights offerings. If selected, you will serve as the Office Chief responsible for day-to-day operations and planning of the office; managing a broad range of assignments; and collaborating with Division leadership to ensure that filing review, rulemakings, and interpretive positions taken by OMA staff serve the Commission’s statutory mission.

More details on the position are available on the USAJobs website.  By the way, speaking of new jobs, my new colleague Meredith Ervine will be blogging on this site for the balance of the week.  After more than six years of a steady diet of my blather, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the break.
