Job Description

ABOUT HUT 8

Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world's largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you're an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you've come to the right place.

ABOUT AMERICAN BITCOIN

American Bitcoin (ABTC) is a pure-play Bitcoin accumulation platform on a mission to set the global benchmark for Bitcoin infrastructure, reserves, and innovation — and to establish America as the undisputed leader of the global Bitcoin economy. We integrate scaled Bitcoin mining operations with disciplined accumulation strategies, and we're proud to offer meaningful opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve real problems, and make an impact from day one. If you're ambitious and looking for a career that's as challenging as it is rewarding, you've come to the right place.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a Director of Legal and Business Affairs to join ABTC's legal and business team. This is not a traditional legal role. You'll sit at the intersection of law, strategy, and operations, working directly with the General Counsel on everything from high-stakes transactions and SEC filings to business initiatives and company-building.

You'll be a thought partner, a first-draft writer, a project owner, and a problem-solver. Some days that means digging into a contract; others it means owning a cross-functional workstream or helping prepare materials for the board. You bring the rigor of big law and the adaptability of someone who thrives in environments where the playbook is still being written.

Bitcoin isn't just a product here — it's the thesis. Genuine interest in the asset, the industry, and where it's going is a must.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Legal & Transactions

• Support execution of corporate transactions, including capital markets activity, M&A, and strategic partnerships
• Draft and review contracts, term sheets, board resolutions, and other legal documents
• Assist with SEC reporting and compliance (proxy statements, periodic filings, Section 16)
• Support corporate governance, including board and committee meeting preparation

Business & Operations

• Own discrete business and operational projects end-to-end, not just the legal pieces
• Help build and maintain internal processes as the company scales
• Prepare materials for executive and board-level audiences
• Identify problems before they become fires, and propose solutions

Legal & Business Affairs Functions

• Act as a force multiplier for the General Counsel, managing workstreams, tracking open items, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
• Coordinate across internal teams (finance, IR, operations) and outside counsel
• Draft communications, memos, and briefing materials
• Handle sensitive matters with sound judgment and discretion

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 2–5 years of Big Law experience, with meaningful exposure to corporate, M&A, capital markets, or securities work
• Admitted to practice in at least one US jurisdiction (active bar membership preferred)
• Comfortable operating in a public company environment — you understand the stakes of disclosure, timing, and governance
• Startup mentality — you roll up your sleeves, move fast, embrace ambiguity, and don't wait to be told what to do
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; you can write a board memo and a term sheet comment with equal facility
• Genuine interest in Bitcoin — you've thought seriously about the asset, the technology, and the industry
• High ownership, low ego

WHY THIS ROLE

• Work directly with the General Counsel and the rest of the C-suite on matters that are real and consequential, not staffed five layers deep
• Exposure to public company operations, M&A, and capital markets at a company doing something that matters
• Latitude to grow beyond a traditional legal track
• Front-row seat to the institutionalization of Bitcoin and America's leadership in the global Bitcoin economy
