Role & responsibilities Every deal we close makes one thing clear: Our client needs a senior legal owner who can structure a transaction, sit across the table and close it, and build the machinery so the next deal moves faster than the last. This is not a support function. This is a leadership seat. You will be the person the founders rely on to take a half-formed commercial idea, structure it into something enforceable, negotiate it to signature, and make sure execution actually happens across every internal and external party involved. If you are a genuinely excellent negotiator - someone who closes - and you want to own legal and structuring for a company rebuilding private credit on-chain, read on.
Preferred candidate profile
Must have
• 7-12 years post-qualification experience, with a robust in-house or credit-practice background
• Deep, hands-on experience in lending, private credit, wholesale financing, or NBFC financing across global markets
• You understand the mechanics cold: how a bank or NBFC lends to an NBFC or fintech borrower, what secures it, how it enforces.
If you've papered facilities to non bank lenders - the kind of entities that sit outside traditional banking in most markets - you'll recognise this immediately
• A demonstrable track record as a negotiator and closer - deals you personally drove to signature, not deals you supported
• Excellent planning and execution instincts; you coordinate messy multi-party closings and make them land on time
• Someone the founders can hand a problem to and stop thinking about - reliability under pressure is the core of this role
• Comfort operating across US and India timezones, and working from our HSR Layout office Strong plus
• You've drafted private credit and NBFI financing documents yourself, end to end
• Working knowledge of stablecoins, tokenisation, VASP/MiCA regimes, or digital asset regulation
• Cross-border structuring experience across the jurisdictions above
