About Bitmine

Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BMNR) is a publicly traded digital asset company operating at the intersection of blockchain infrastructure, institutional finance, and capital markets. Through its operating businesses and strategic investments, Bitmine is building the infrastructure supporting institutional adoption of digital assets.

Bitmine's operating businesses include MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network), one of the world's largest institutional Ethereum staking platforms, providing enterprise-grade, non-custodial validator infrastructure to custodians, asset managers, exchanges, foundations, and other institutional clients.

As the Company continues to grow, we are seeking an experienced attorney to lead Bitmine's public company legal function and serve as a trusted legal advisor to executive leadership and the Board of Directors.

Position Summary

This is a high-impact role serving as Senior Corporate Counsel for a NYSE-listed public company. You will lead Bitmine's public company legal function, working closely with the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer, executive leadership, and the Board of Directors on matters critical to the Company's growth, governance, and strategic direction.

You will own the full spectrum of Bitmine's legal work, including public company and securities matters, corporate governance, strategic transactions, commercial contracting, regulatory analysis, and legal operations. You will partner closely with the General Counsel of MAVAN on matters affecting the Company's operating businesses while directing outside counsel on specialized legal matters and serving as Bitmine's primary internal legal advisor.

This role offers exceptional visibility into executive decision-making and broad responsibility across virtually every significant legal and business initiative undertaken by the Company.

Success requires sound legal and commercial judgment, exceptional drafting and organizational skills, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to independently manage multiple complex matters in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

A Typical Day

No two days are the same.

In a single day, you might review SEC disclosure for an upcoming filing, prepare materials for a Board committee meeting, negotiate a strategic commercial agreement, advise executive leadership on a potential acquisition, review a corporate governance policy, direct outside counsel on securities law questions, evaluate an emerging regulatory development affecting digital assets, and help structure a new institutional business initiative.

This is a broad corporate practice with meaningful ownership from day one.
