About MoonPay 🌖💸
Hi, we’re MoonPay. We’re here to onboard the world to Web3.
Why? Because we think Web3 is a unique and democratising technology. It gives people back control of their money, digital identity, data, and property like nothing else before it.
What we do
We’re the leading infrastructure company in Web3. This means we offer our partners everything from payment solutions (we call them 'Ramps') to minting software for digital collectibles, like NFTs. And over 30 million people around the world now trust our products — just take a look on Trustpilot.
We’re also big on collaborations. And we've worked on stunts, drops, and partnerships with some of the world's most prestigious and forward-thinking brands.
But that’s not all. We have also built our own consumer app because we wanted to see if we could build a better Web3 account. It’s taken off in a big way, and we're working hard to continually improve it and to strive for perfection.
So whatever your background, we’re sure there’s something for you here. Come help us build the future of Web3 and digital ownership.
About the Opportunity ✍️
MoonPay is seeking a Senior Corporate Counsel to join as an integral part of the company's legal team. This is a high-impact role for a strategic, business-minded attorney with deep experience in corporate transactions, equity matters and commercial law. You’ll play a key role in advising on M&A, complex commercial agreements, fundraising and corporate governance matters, while also supporting a fast-growing, cutting-edge business operating in a highly dynamic regulatory environment. This role is ideal for a seasoned attorney who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth tech environment, with a strong preference for experience in crypto, fintech, or high-growth startups.
What you will do
- Lead and support M&A transactions, including structuring, due diligence, negotiation, and post-closing integration.
- Provide legal guidance on equity matters, including stock option plans and employee equity compensation.
- Advise on venture financings and other fundraising activities.
- Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of commercial contracts, including vendor, partnership, SaaS, and service agreements.
- Counsel internal stakeholders on general corporate matters, including governance, compliance, and entity management.
- Partner cross-functionally with corporate development, enterprise, and executive teams to support strategic initiatives.
- Provide creative, innovative, and effective legal solutions for business stakeholders on routinely short timelines.
- Be an outstanding collaborator and work cross-functionally with colleagues in legal, compliance, finance, product and business operations.
- J.D. or LLM and active membership with a state bar and eligible to practice in any U.S. state.
- 8+ years of legal experience as outside counsel or in-house counsel (in-house counsel preferred but not required).
- Strong preference for crypto experience or technology start-up experience – but it is essential that this candidate is excited about having a seat at the table of history on developing legal jurisprudence around Web3.
- Strong background in M&A, equity financings, and strategic partnerships.
- Proficiency in drafting and negotiating commercial contracts and advising on day-to-day business legal issues.
- Experience with stock plans and cap table management preferred but not required.
- Proven ability to independently manage complex projects in a fast-paced environment.
- Business-oriented legal thinker with strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams on strategic partnerships.
- Ability to identify issues and suggest enhancements to form agreements, policies, procedures, and processes and help scale as the company grows.
- Ability to navigate through legal ambiguity with a high degree of focus.
What you will need
Most importantly, though, you will embody the core principles that everyone here at the MoonPay lives by. Our “BLOCK Values” are at the heart of everything we do - and they are…
B - Be Hungry
L - Level Up
O - Own It
C - Crypto Curious
K - Kaizen
