Requirements
• 5+ years’ experience as a qualified lawyer in-house, at a top law firm, or in a government agency. • Deep expertise in commercial contracts and building scalable legal infrastructure, ideally at high-growth companies. • Experience in payments, fintech, banking, digital assets, treasury, card, or other regulated financial services strongly preferred. • Highly collaborative, solutions-oriented, and biased toward action and impact. • Exceptional communication skills and the ability to translate complex legal concepts into practical business advice. • Strong proponent and adopter of technology and AI; humble, low-ego, and committed to continuous improvement. • ## How we measure success • Commercial Impact: Serves as lead counsel on complex transactions, accelerates revenue generation, and consistently proposes practical solutions rather than simply identifying issues. • Speed: Is known for responsiveness and execution. Drives negotiations forward, continuously improving turnaround times through better processes, templates, and AI-enabled tools. • Clarity: Translates complex legal and regulatory issues into concise, actionable guidance, and creates scalable self-service resources that empower teams to move faster. • Trust: Quickly becomes a trusted advisor to commercial, finance, compliance, treasury, and executive stakeholders through sound judgment, pragmatism, and deep product knowledge. • Raises the Bar: Improves the quality and scalability of legal support by building durable templates, playbooks, and frameworks — and consistently leaves every process better than they found it.
