The right candidate will have prior experience working with a variety of internal stakeholders and various business teams and driving legal projects to completion in diverse and global organizations. They should also have strong interpersonal skills, sound judgment and decision-making skills, the ability and desire to work with a top-notch legal team, and ideally, experience in the cryptocurrency and fintech industry. The right candidate has managerial experience but is also not afraid to roll up their sleeves to get work done under time pressure.
