  • Proven ability to manage multiple, high-priority projects and transactions under tight deadlines with minimal supervision.
  • Strong negotiation and drafting skills, with experience structuring deals in fast-paced, high-growth industries.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build relationships across all levels of the organization and with external partners.
  • Demonstrated ability to advise on complex commercial issues in a strategic and pragmatic manner.
  • Preferred background in blockchain, fintech, or other innovative technology sectors.

Our Benefits

  • 100% insurance premium coverage for medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents (US Employees).
  • Equipment of your choice.
  • Flexible vacation time, 11 holidays, and floating company days off.
  • Competitive Salary.
