• Support the firm's profit-share and equity-related legal programs, including plan documentation and regulatory considerations.
• Lead legal work related to financing instruments, including SAFEs and other investment frameworks.
• Work with external counsel on jurisdiction-specific or specialized legal matters.

• 8+ years of experience in compliance, legal, or a combination of both, ideally in a hedge fund or trading firm.
• Demonstrable track record in negotiating commercial contracts, including trading partnerships, investment frameworks (e.g., SAFEs, tokenized instruments), and vendor agreements.
• Expert-level knowledge of the legal and regulatory considerations relevant to digital asset custody, on-chain transactions, and multi-jurisdictional compliance for trading and investment operations.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

• Detail-oriented and precise, with strong accuracy, discretion, and professionalism in handling legal and confidential information.
• Business-minded and pragmatic, balancing legal risk with commercial objectives to enable growth.
• Trusted advisor to leadership, exercising sound judgment on high-stakes matters with discretion and strategic insight.
• Independent and entrepreneurial, comfortable building legal infrastructure from scratch with minimal oversight.
• Adaptable to fast-changing environments and competing priorities.
