  • Partner with Finance, Accounting, and Investor Relations to ensure accurate, consistent reporting and messaging
  • Support Board matters (materials, minutes, governance documentation)
  • Monitor SEC and market developments; brief leadership on regulatory changes and best practices
  • Provide decisive, business-minded advice in a fast-paced environment with minimal reliance on outside counsel

About You

  • 6–8 years of securities and corporate governance experience at a top firm or in-house public company legal team
  • Direct, issuer-side responsibility for SEC filings and hands-on proxy experience
  • Deep expertise in ’33/’34 Act filings, SEC disclosure rules, and corporate governance frameworks
  • Strong understanding of corporate law, public-company operations, and board governance practices
  • Excellent legal judgment, communication, and drafting; proven ability to juggle priorities and meet tight deadlines
  • J.D. from an accredited law school and licensed in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
  • A plus: experience leading annual/special shareholder meetings; background in financial services/fintech/digital assets; comfort in high-growth, tech-driven environments

What We Offer

  • 100% pay in Bitcoin, with buffer for price changes and exchange fees
  • Fair, location-agnostic pay + competitive benefits (medical/dental/vision; tools to do your best work)
  • Collaborative, feedback-driven culture with growth opportunities
