The Legal Team is looking for a Senior Product Counsel to support our product teams and other internal partners as we grow and expand our product suite into new verticals and markets. We’re looking for a strategic advisor who will help Paxos achieve its lofty goals.

About Paxos

Paxos is on a mission to enable the movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky - supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

As a regulated blockchain infrastructure company, we use technology to tokenize, custody, trade, and settle assets for enterprise clients like PayPal, Bank of America, and Interactive Brokers. Paxos is a top-funded blockchain company, with more than $500 million in total funding from leading investors like OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration Partners. Together, we empower today’s financial leaders to build a more open, trusted economy.

As Senior Product Counsel, you’ll get to:

• Work closely with product and engineering leaders to counsel on the future of the Paxos suite of products
• Build and manage a product counsel function, ultimately hiring additional product attorneys; manage outside counsel when needed to receive advice regarding new products and features
• Identify and counsel on risks arising from new products and features; provide risk mitigation strategies for new or existing products and features
• Work closely with members of the Legal team to best advise business leaders across the organization
• Immerse yourself in blockchain technology, cryptocurrency for enterprises and investors, our regulation-first approach, and more!

Your experience should include:

• J.D. and licensed to practice in a state in the US
• 6+ years of legal experience, including 3+ years of experience in product attorney role
• Experience working in hyper-growth, tech-focused company
• Experience working cross-functionally on multiple projects under tight deadlines
• Experience distilling complex legal concepts to solve problems and create scalable products and solutions

You might also have:

• Desire to work in a fast-paced, dynamic, and demanding environment
• Excellent commercial acumen and business judgment
• Excellent written/verbal communication and negotiation skills
