Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and registered users, is seeking a Product Counsel to provide end-to-end legal support for designated product verticals. This role sits at the intersection of product development, compliance, and business strategy within a leading global blockchain ecosystem.
You will act as primary legal counsel for at least two product verticals, managing the full lifecycle from development through launch and ongoing governance. Key responsibilities include drafting, reviewing, and negotiating product documentation, user terms, and commercial agreements to regulated-grade standards. You will provide clear, business-oriented legal advice on product structuring, innovation, and regulatory considerations across multiple jurisdictions, working closely with product managers, business leads, compliance, and risk teams to anticipate and mitigate legal issues.
You will enhance the quality and consistency of legal documentation, ensuring enforceability and alignment with best practices in global financial markets. The role also involves supporting global and regional legal projects in response to legal and regulatory developments, and contributing to knowledge-sharing and mentorship within the Product Legal team.
Binance operates a flat, user-centric global organization with a results-driven culture. The company offers work-from-home arrangements (which may vary by business team), opportunities for career growth, and continuous learning in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
REQUIREMENTS:
