Job Description

Intro

M0 is the universal stablecoin platform. With M0, builders can create their own application-specific stablecoins, and customize attributes such as branding, transfer & compliance behaviors, and yield distribution mechanics. By leveraging M0, businesses can monetize their digital dollar use cases and maintain control over their money tech stack, while not being burdened by issuance and operational heavy-lifting.

M0 is seeking an experienced and exceptionally sharp corporate lawyer to be a key player in our growth. Beyond being a pragmatic lawyer with a proven track record of executing complex deals, this team member should be a creative legal strategist, a true business partner, and a capable builder. You will own core legal functions related to corporate law and strategic transactions, and be a key adviser on the ways that regulatory considerations interact with business strategy and product direction.

About Our Team

Our Legal team manages the legal affairs of certain actors in the M0 ecosystem. These include the M0 Foundation in Switzerland, the M0 labs located in the Cayman Islands and Germany, and other entities. We collaborate across M0 to accelerate the business, shape technical development, advance corporate and protocol governance, and ensure regulatory compliance in areas such as securities, AML / CFT, sanctions, consumer protection, and intellectual property.

Our team holds itself to a standard of uncompromising service delivery, emphasizing modern tech-enabled practice. This commitment is expressed in our shared values :

• Autonomy. We are each builders, responsible for the processes that will keep our respective functional areas running efficiently—especially by aggressively incorporating the latest technology.
• Composure. People rely on us. We work hard to deserve their trust by always being prepared and being the cool heads that help navigate challenging situations.
• Connectedness. We seek opportunities to build genuine relationships across M0 and the industry, so that we can be responsive and resilient as circumstances evolve.
• Foresight. We have a knack for keeping our heads up to see what's on the horizon, so that we have time to develop carefully considered strategies and plans.
• Integrity. We are stewards of M0's mission, expected to act with unwavering integrity and to cultivate that culture across the broader organization.

About the Role

Reporting to the General Counsel, you will architect an optimal global organizational structure, lead strategic transactions, manage our commercial contracting processes, and ensure the quality of our corporate governance practices. This role requires a leader who can operate at every altitude—providing strategic counsel to the executive team in the morning, and diving deep into the details of a critical transaction or process improvement that same afternoon.
