• Handle agreements with a range of counterparties, including banks, payment service providers, exchanges, wallets, custodians, fintech companies, and other digital asset/Web3 partners.

• Take end-to-end ownership of commercial transactions and contract negotiations with minimal supervision.

• Partner closely with Commercial, Product, Compliance, Regulatory, Finance, and Operations teams to understand business requirements, identify potential risks, and ensure relevant legal and compliance considerations are appropriately reflected in agreements.

• Provide timely and practical advice to internal stakeholders regarding contractual obligations, commitments, and commercial legal matters.

• Advise management and business stakeholders on complex client and partnership matters, including potential contractual, regulatory, compliance, financial, and legal risks.

• Communicate complex legal considerations clearly and concisely, adapting your approach to different stakeholders and audiences.
