• Support legal input into new entity setups and corporate reorganization projects
• Monitor and maintain internal governance registers, KYC files, group charts, and signature authorities across all active legal entities
• Prepare and review board and committee meeting materials
• Coordinate internal approvals and contribute to the design of efficient governance processes and decision-tracking tools
• Respond to internal requests on company structures, signatories, control rights, and document validity
• Assist with a broad range of corporate transactional matters, including M&A, investments, and joint ventures

Requirements

• Legally qualified (civil or common law jurisdiction) with at least 3 years of experience in corporate law, M&A, or legal entity management within a multinational in-house team
• Strong command of corporate governance, company law, and corporate reorganizations
• Experience managing legal entities through third-party service providers and acting as the internal coordinator of sensitive corporate actions
• Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills, with strong attention to detail
• Excellent ability to communicate information effectively internally and externally and to drive cross-functional alignment and action
• An owner’s mentality with the ability to execute in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, juggle conflicting priorities to meet deadlines and adapt quickly to new surroundings
• Strong collaborator and teammate with demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with other teams

Why Binance

• Shape the future with the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem
• Collaborate with world-class talent in a user-centric global organization with a flat structure
• Tackle unique, fast-paced projects with autonomy in an innovative environment
• Thrive in a results-driven workplace with opportunities for career growth and continuous learning
