- Represent Legal at Board meetings as required
- An established Legal expert and Leader with significant experience operating at General Counsel or senior legal leadership level
- Strong combination of Web3/crypto and traditional finance (TradFi) legal experience
- Expertise across a wide and diverse array of legal disciplines, including regulatory, employment, product, financial, and commercial/IP
- Track record of managing or overseeing a legal team, ideally through periods of change or high growth
- Experience advising on corporate structuring matters, including entity formation, spin-outs, or similar arrangements
- Comfortable representing legal at Board level and communicating with senior executives and stakeholders
- Able to operate independently in a remote, globally distributed organization, with enough working-hours overlap to collaborate closely with an European-based team
- Available to start on short notice and flexible to support a structured handover at the start and end of the engagement
The Logistics
