  • Advise on regulatory issues related to anti-money laundering (AML), know your customer (KYC), securities law, and data protection.
Contract Management:
  • Draft, review, and negotiate a wide variety of contracts, including partnership agreements, service agreements, and terms of service for customers.
  • Ensure contractual documents meet legal standards and protect the organization’s interests.
Risk Management:
  • Identify potential legal risks associated with business strategies and operational activities, and develop risk mitigation strategies.
  • Provide guidance on emerging risks related to new technologies, market regulations, and industry practices.
Litigation Management:
  • Manage any disputes or litigation involving the organization, coordinating with external legal counsel when necessary.
  • Develop and implement strategies for dispute resolution and mitigation.
Corporate Governance:
  • Support the Board of Directors and executive leadership with legal advice on corporate governance, structuring, and compliance issues.
  • Assist in the preparation of board materials and regulatory filings.
Policy Development:
  • Establish internal policies and compliance programs related to legal risk management, financial operations, and user protection.
  • Educate employees on legal policies and compliance through training and workshops.
Stakeholder Collaboration:
  • Work closely with internal teams (e.g., product development, compliance, finance, and marketing) to ensure legal considerations are integrated into business decisions.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for all legal inquiries and issues within the organization.

Research in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion suggests that individuals may hesitate to apply for jobs if they do not meet all the listed criteria. At Bitso, we value diversity and your unique strengths could be just what we're looking for. If this role excites you but you don't match every point in the description, we still want to hear from you.
