Legal Counsel for crypto trading products serving institutional markets. Needs regulatory compliance, counterparty agreements, and market infrastructure experience across trading venues, prime brokers, custodians, and payment rails. United States role with mandatory in-person onboarding.
At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto.

Home to Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., Anchorage Digital also serves institutions through Anchorage Digital Singapore, Porto by Anchorage Digital, and other offerings.
The company is funded by leading institutions including Andreessen Horowitz, GIC, Goldman Sachs, KKR, and Visa, with its Series D valuation over $3 billion.

With the evolving landscape of digital threats and an increasing volume of sophisticated attacks by malicious actors, we have a security policy mandating all new hires complete an in-person onboarding process - no exceptions. Security is our foundation and we prioritize physical identity verification and secure IT setup. While our security and IT logistics require physical presence to protect our infrastructure from sophisticated global threats, this move is equally about our Village culture. We believe that a laptop can be shipped, but our culture cannot.
We are seeking a proactive Legal Counsel with a builder’s mindset to join our Trading Solutions team as an integral partner in bringing new products and features to the institutional market. You will be embedded directly from product discovery through launch, providing strategic legal guidance, conducting critical research, establishing policies, and ensuring full regulatory compliance across market infrastructure such as crypto trading venues, prime brokers, custodians, and payment rails. In this role, you will lead the structuring, drafting, and negotiation of key counterparty agreements, including electronic trading, derivatives, and financing arrangements, while coordinating across internal teams and managing external counsel. Beyond transaction execution, you will serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, delivering strategic counsel on complex regulatory frameworks, reputational risks, and ongoing compliance obligations. We have created the Factors of Growth & Impact to help Villagers better measure impact and articulate coaching, feedback, and the rich and rewarding learning that happens while exploring, developing, and mastering the capabilities and contributions within and outside of this role:
