About the company
Hi, we're Ondo Finance. Our mission is to provide institutional-grade, blockchain-enabled investment products and services. We have both a technology arm that develops decentralized finance technology, and an asset management arm that creates and manages tokenized funds. We were the first company to tokenize exposure to US Treasuries, and have since expanded into several other assets. We are also focused on incubating protocols that can support both tokenized real-world assets and traditional crypto.
Founded by folks from Goldman Sachs Digital Assets Team, we’re backed by some of the best investors in the world including Founders Fund, Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital, Tiger Global, and more. We are currently the leaders in the space in terms of AUM and are well capitalized to continue to grow the firm. We're fully remote, with team members across the U.S.

This is a unique opportunity for a highly experienced legal leader to help scale one of the most innovative companies at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain technology.
Reporting directly to the General Counsel, the DGC will serve as a trusted advisor to the executive team, oversee and coordinate legal inputs across departments, and manage high-impact legal initiatives that are critical to the company’s growth and risk management. The DGC will also serve as a mentor and leader to a growing legal team, helping to build the foundation for a world-class legal function.

- Manage and advise on complex commercial transactions, including key vendor, customer, and partner agreements

- Coordinate internal legal workflows and external counsel relationships to ensure high-quality, efficient legal service delivery
- Mentor and support Assistant General Counsels and other members of the legal team

- Superior judgment, business acumen, and ability to balance legal risk with operational and strategic objectives
- Proven ability to manage, mentor, and grow legal teams
- Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple fast-moving workstreams
