TRM is on a mission to build a safer financial system for billions of people. We deliver a blockchain intelligence data platform to financial institutions, crypto companies, and governments to fight cryptocurrency fraud and financial crime. We consider our business — and our profit — as a way to move towards our mission sustainably and at scale.

As a Legal Counsel, you will join an experienced, close-knit team that counsels across all aspects of TRM’s global, rapidly-growing business. The team provides timely, ethically-sound, and commercially-savvy advice on matters including corporate governance, contract negotiations, product counseling, and overall risk management. Success is measured by how effectively and efficiently the Legal team empowers others throughout TRM to make complex decisions in the best interests of the company.

The impact you will have here:

Review, draft, negotiate, and finalize commercial agreements to support our business clients ranging from sales to product, including but not limited to MNDAs, Platform Evaluations, Customer Agreements, consulting agreements, and vendor agreements.
With internal support, update privacy and other compliance documentation on an ongoing basis, and handle external communications and requests.
Assist in identifying key issues and legal risks for the broader TRM business and help advise clients on how to proceed in various scenarios, many of which are novel and precedent-setting.
Collaborate cross-functionally with the IT/Security, Finance, and People Teams to ensure compliance with contracts across all of TRM’s markets across various geographies.
Support the Go To Market (“GTM”) team with ad hoc sales-related legal requests in a prompt and timely manner.
Support operational projects between GTM and Legal to ensure proper data capture and process flow, identifying and improving processes to minimize friction in closing deals.
Assist and own legal operations projects including creating streamlines processes and improving efficiencies to cut down on administrative tasks.

What we’re looking for:

2-3 years’ experience working in a transactional practice in-house or at a reputable law firm. Tech or web3/blockchain industry experience is not required but preferred.
Experience negotiating technical SaaS agreements. Experience with public sector procurement processes is a plus.
