Senior Counsel, LatAm
hace 1 semana
Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina or Mexico City, Mexico
About the Team:The Legal team is responsible for all of Worldcoin's legal affairs globally. We partner cross-company to help advance the blockchain project, improve our products (hardware device, wallet app, and Proof of Personhood), and ensure regulatory compliance in areas such as securities, AML/CFT, consumer protection, litigation, trade, IP, and labor, among others.
This is a unique role offering the opportunity to shape the on-the-ground expansion strategy in the LatAm Region. Reporting to the Associate General Counsel for Expansion, the Senior Counsel will help the project grow responsibly by assessing threshold risks and requirements associated with entering new jurisdictions in the LatAm region, informing decisions about the prioritization and timing of entry, and monitoring changes in the law to ensure ongoing compliance in those places.
The role pulls together input on a range of local legal considerations, including regulatory, commercial, product, data protection & privacy, litigation, labor & employment. Moreover, it is highly cross-functional. The Senior Counsel will partner most closely with our expansion and market operations teams, and will also develop close working relationships with our teams responsible for product development, economics, trust & safety, logistics, product, financial compliance, and government relations. In this role, you will:
- Develop and lead legal strategy for jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction entry decisions and meeting ongoing support needs, including by proactively solving processes and other problems for the business as they execute an ambitious growth plan.
- Secure and relay advice on threshold risks and requirements for entering new markets, in matters such as financial regulations, data protection, labor & employment, commercial, consumer protection, etc.
- Manage local counsel in several jurisdictions to secure clear, actionable input in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
- Build relationships with key stakeholders who may need to be involved in preparing to rollout in new geographies (product, economics, logistics, communications, government relations).
- Collaborate with Legal counterparts focused on product, compliance, corporate, finreg, to ensure necessary local licenses, permits and registrations are obtained prior to entering new jurisdictions and jurisdiction-specific product initiatives are vetted.
- Partner with Trust & Safety colleagues to ensure growth in new markets is successful and sustainable.
- Help ensure we deliver consistent, accurate messaging and materials to key stakeholders, authorities, and to the public.
- Develop a deep understanding of our strategies around product, economics, trust and safety, corporate matters, Policy, Communications, and play a key role in pulling these together to provide effective advice in each jurisdiction.
- Proactively contribute to the Legal team's planning, cohesion, consistency in advice, and the general efficiency and effectiveness of the team as a whole.
- Hands-on and creative problem-solver, who understands on-the-ground complexities and is passionate about building scalable ways to account for them.
- Must have excellent academic credentials and be a qualified lawyer in good standing with eligibility to practice in your jurisdiction (preference for LatAm or EU countries).
- 7+ years of post-law school experience working as an attorney, with solid BigLaw experience or fast-paced startups.
- Previous experience supporting multi-jurisdictional legal challenges.
- Experience developing and successfully providing legal support for international growth plans, including assessing regulatory and legal requirements and developing a plan for successful execution.
- Proven track record in licensing efforts and working as part of a cross-functional team to launch new operations, products and business lines in established and emerging markets internationally in LatAm
- Capable of defining an agenda and ensuring it gets done on time and efficiently, along the way demonstrating judgment, practicality, resourcefulness, proactivity, and attention to detail.
- Excellent written communicator, able to present complex legal issues clearly and concisely, whether extemporaneously on Slack, in emails, or in memoranda and other more formal documents.
- Demonstrated interest in blockchain technology, Web3, cryptocurrency, and digital assets.
- Extensive experience living, working, traveling, or practicing law internationally, and ability to travel regularly.
- Fluency in English.
- Positive collaborative attitude, comfort with change and a fast pace, high level of integrity, and intellectual curiosity.
