About REX

REX is an innovative ETP provider that specializes in alternative-strategy ETFs and ETNs. Founded in 2015, the firm is rooted in decades of experience building solutions for investor and trader portfolios. At REX, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to modern investing.

Position Overview

REX is looking to hire a proactive and practical problem solver to join its legal department. You will work on innovative funds, routine filings, resolving inefficiencies, completing due diligence questionnaires, and picking up tasks that fall in between. Not every task is exciting, but we’re working on growing an exciting business.

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re curious, ready to learn, lean into a challenge, and you stick with a problem from identification to resolution. We’re looking for someone with great attention to detail and organizational skills. We need someone that can also think strategically and own tasks.

Primary Responsibilities:

· Manage projects (onboarding, fund launches and updates, board meetings, etc.) from start to finish, keeping track of deadlines and deliverables

· Assist in reviewing and drafting disclosures and other materials

· Coordinate with other departments and outside service providers

· Review and complete onboarding documents and due diligence questionnaires

· Develop and document policies and procedures

· Assist with various agreements related to ETFs and ETNs

· Maintain organizational records, entity documentation, executed agreements, and governance materials

What we're looking for

· 5+ years of experience in financial services, ideally in asset management. Other relevant experience will be considered

· At least a familiarity with ETFs and an understanding of the financial markets

· Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills

· Strong attention to detail

· Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced environment

· Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice to have, not required

• Experience supporting registered funds or investment products, including familiarity with the Investment Company Act of 1940
• Exposure to fund launches, product development, or entity formation and maintenance
• Experience working with fund administrators or other external service providers
• Prior experience in a small legal team or company

The right candidate won’t necessarily meet all of the above. We encourage you to submit your resume if you have relevant experience, the right temperament, and are interested in joining our team.
