Head of Legal

120,000 - 200,000 USD Annual + Equity Plan

About Us

Trustyfy is a global tech company building the first DeFi bank for companies and individuals.

For the first time in history since the invention of banking, customers - not banks - can have full ownership of their money.

Thanks to our proprietary multi-signature and decentralized technology, companies can work internationally with no risk of payment delays, and at a fraction of the cost of legacy banks.

Workers can remit funds to their loved ones at almost no cost.

And two billion unbanked can become financially independent.

We are not just building the future of finance. We can make a real difference.

We have validated the vision and secured the capital from both recurring revenues and a seed round. Now, we are leveling up our leadership.

Why Your Role Matters

As Head of Legal, you will be the legal backbone of the company and a trusted partner to the CEO, executive team, and board. In a highly regulated and fast-evolving space like fintech and DeFi, your guidance will directly shape the entire company.

You will work directly with one of the founders, a former fintech lawyer and regulator with an exceptional track record - including two IPOs, multiple banking and fintech licenses across several jurisdictions, and the launch of a telecom company that exited for over $16 billion. This level of mentorship and exposure is rare and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and lead the company's global legal function, covering corporate, regulatory, commercial, and product legal matters.
• Advise leadership on fintech, banking, payments, crypto-assets, and DeFi regulations, including MiCA and jurisdiction specific frameworks.
• Support licensing, regulatory filings, and ongoing interactions with regulators and supervisory authorities.
• Draft, review, and negotiate complex commercial agreements, partnerships, and vendor contracts.
• Provide legal oversight for new products, features, and market launches, ensuring compliance is embedded by design.
• Manage external counsel across multiple jurisdictions and optimize legal spend.
• Support corporate governance, board matters, fundraising, and shareholder relations.
• Build scalable legal processes, templates, and internal policies to support rapid growth.

Your Skills and Experience

• Proven experience as Head of Legal, Senior Legal Counsel, or Lawyer, or equivalent in fintech, financial services, crypto, or a regulated tech environment.

• Ability to balance legal rigor with commercial pragmatism in a fast moving startup.
• Excellent contract drafting and negotiation skills.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, scaling environments, and cross functional teams.
• Strong English communication skills (written and spoken).
• Support for relocation, visa, housing, and health insurance if required.
