Regulatory Counsel

About Paxos 

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.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard and Interactive Brokers. 

As a Regulatory Counsel, you’ll get to: 

• Analyze laws and regulations in the US and foreign jurisdictions to support development of business opportunities in an area of law that is rapidly developing
• Create templates, playbooks and other collateral to help Paxos scale internationally
• Support maintenance of existing licenses and application processes to obtain new licenses or regulatory approvals
• Immerse yourself in blockchain technology, asset tokenization, cryptocurrency for enterprises and investors, our regulation-first approach, and more!

Your experience should include:

• A law degree
• At least 4 years legal experience, including some experience evaluating and researching financial regulation
• Ability to work cross-functionally
• Ability to meet tight deadlines
• Effective communication with internal stakeholders, clients, and regulators
• Very detail-oriented
• Ability to be both reactive and help solve problems in the moment as well as proactive, building a longer term roadmap and strategy

You might also have: 

• Litigation background or training preferred
• Government financial regulation or enforcement experience is a plus
• Both in-house and law firm experience is a plus
