About the Role

The Company is seeking a Deputy General Counsel to help build and lead its legal function in close partnership with the General Counsel. The role will shape product decisions, structure and negotiate commercial partnerships, and address legal and regulatory issues affecting financial products and services. Responsibilities include advising major financial institutions, identifying creative paths to launch partnerships, supporting governance and policy engagement, and developing regulatory strategy across U.S. and international frameworks. The Deputy General Counsel will also build AI-enabled legal workflows, manage outside counsel, and handle matters directly from initial drafting through leadership memoranda. Candidates should have at least 10 years of legal experience, including substantial in-house experience in the digital assets sector, and deep knowledge of stablecoin commercial models, regulation, and product design. Experience working with large financial institutions and strong commercial judgment are essential, along with the ability to draft clearly, work independently, and use AI tools and workflows to expand legal capacity. Applicants must be admitted to practice in a U.S. jurisdiction. Experience with a stablecoin issuer, digital assets at a bank, payments licensing, early-stage legal function development, or relevant regulatory and industry relationships is an advantage.
