Description
We are a crypto-native investment fund at the frontier of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). As we deploy capital into the most innovative protocols and infrastructure projects, we are seeking a Head of Legal to architect our global fund structures and navigate the rapidly evolving intersection of traditional finance and blockchain technology.
Your Core Responsibilities
-
Lead the legal design and maintenance of investment vehicles across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring they are optimized for crypto-native institutional and retail participation.
-
Develop and oversee a robust compliance framework that addresses AML/KYC requirements, securities laws, and evolving regulatory mandates in key global markets.
-
Manage the legal lifecycle of deal flows, from reviewing SAFEs/SAFTs and token purchase agreements to overseeing complex DeFi-native investment strategies.
-
Act as the primary point of contact for regulators and external counsel, staying ahead of legislative changes that impact DeFi and digital asset management.
-
Establish internal legal protocols for treasury management, employee incentive schemes (token options), and corporate governance.
Who You Are
-
You have extensive experience in high-level investment management and understand how to bridge the gap between "Code is Law" and traditional legal frameworks.
-
You don't just understand law; you understand smart contracts, liquidity pools, and the unique legal challenges of non-custodial investment strategies.
-
You are comfortable making high-stakes decisions in "grey" regulatory areas, providing clear, actionable advice rather than just listing risks.
-
You are adept at managing a network of international law firms to ensure seamless operations across different regulatory regimes.
Requirements
-
10+ years of legal experience, with a significant portion spent in Investment Management (Hedge Funds, PE, or VC).
-
Proven track record in a Senior Legal role within the crypto/Web3 sector.
-
Deep knowledge of global securities laws and the regulatory landscape for DeFi.
-
Juris Doctor (JD) or equivalent law degree and active bar membership in good standing.
-
Experience with cross-border tax structuring and offshore fund jurisdictions (e.g., Cayman, BVI, Singapore, etc.).
