In this role, you will advise on complex commercial transactions, partner closely with business teams, and help scale legal operations for a fast‑growing global technology company operating at the forefront of blockchain innovation.

You’ll play a key role in shaping how we structure partnerships, deliver products, and engage with customers across the digital asset ecosystem. This is an exciting opportunity for an attorney who thrives in dynamic, emerging industries and enjoys balancing legal precision with commercial practicality.

This is a remote‑first role hiring in either Ireland or the UK.

• Advise sales, business development, and product teams on contract structures, risk allocation, and compliance matters.
• Provide legal guidance on go‑to‑market initiatives and product launches in regulated technology environments.
• Support the development and continuous improvement of contract templates, playbooks, and scalable legal processes.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams — including finance, compliance, and operations — to streamline deal execution and mitigate risk.
• Stay current on evolving regulations impacting digital assets, financial services, and technology transactions.

Role Requirements

• Qualification from an accredited law school
• 4–7 years of experience in commercial or technology transactions, ideally combining both law firm and in‑house experience.
• Solid understanding of blockchain technology, digital assets, and evolving Web3 regulatory frameworks.
• Demonstrated ability to independently negotiate, draft, and close complex commercial agreements.
• Strong business judgment with a pragmatic approach to balancing legal risk and operational efficiency in a fast‑scaling organization.
• Exceptional communication, collaboration, and organizational skills.
• Comfortable working cross‑functionally with global teams across multiple time zones.
