Paxos is on a mission to enable the movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky - supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it. 

As a regulated blockchain infrastructure company, we use technology to tokenize, custody, trade, and settle assets for enterprise clients like PayPal, Novi, Bank of America, and Interactive Brokers. Paxos is a top-funded blockchain company, with more than $500 million in total funding from leading investors like OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration Partners. Together, we empower today’s financial leaders to build a more open, trusted economy. 

The Privacy Senior Counsel will report to Paxos’ Deputy General Counsel and will partner closely with Paxos’ growth and InfoSec teams, and other members of the Legal Team, to provide privacy advice, assess risk, and develop creative solutions to complex legal and business issues. This is a new position necessitated by Paxos' business growth. We’re moving into new and exciting areas, and we need you!

As a Privacy Senior Counsel, you’ll get to: 

  • Advise business partners globally on a broad range of data privacy matters
  • Develop and implement policies and procedures to drive compliance with data privacy laws
  • Conduct privacy risk assessments 
  • Draft, negotiate, and advise on data protection agreements, terms of service, privacy policies, and other contracts and disclosures
  • Serve as an advisor to various internal stakeholders to ensure compliance with global privacy requirements
  • Monitor developments in the data protection legal landscape globally
  • Assist in designing and delivering training for both business and legal partners on the application of privacy laws and regulations that apply to Paxos’ businesses
  • Immerse yourself in blockchain technology, cryptocurrency for enterprises and investors, our regulation-first approach, and more!

Your experience should include:

  • A law degree
  • At least 6 years legal experience
  • Proven expertise in privacy and data protection regulations, particularly EU GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA
  • Trained and qualified in a top law firm focusing on data privacy matters 
  • Experience performing privacy gap/risk assessments
  • Transactional experience
  • Familiarity with privacy management technology tools
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to build close partnerships with business and legal stakeholders
  • Ability to translate technical issues and requirements into understandable risk-based recommendations for the business and legal functions and to act as facilitator between the technical and InfoSec teams and the business on privacy and cybersecurity issues
  • Ability to prioritize competing projects 
  • Ability to work cross-functionally.
  • Ability to meet tight deadlines.
  • Takes ownership over business results.
  • Very detail-oriented.
  • Ability to be both reactive and help solve problems in the moment as well as proactive, building a longer term roadmap and strategy.

You might also have: 

  • CIPP/E, CIPM, and other privacy certification preferred
  • Both in-house and law firm experience is a plus.
