Job Description

The Opportunity

Nansen surfaces the signal and creates winners in the future of finance. We're building a new way to trade: agentic, onchain, and fully integrated. From analytics to execution, we're the platform where investors find alpha and act on it.

As we scale our product features and AI-powered capabilities, regulatory issues matter more than ever. We are hiring our first General Counsel to lead all legal matters across the Nansen group, including our Singapore entity, the GMC entity, and future subsidiaries.

You will be the primary legal voice for the company on regulatory engagement, commercial contracts, corporate governance, and compliance.

• Oversee data protection and privacy obligations (PDPA, GDPR where applicable)

People & Operations

• Manage and mentor the junior Compliance hire

• Strengthen legal processes, playbooks, and contract management infrastructure

• Engage external counsel strategically to manage cost and quality

What We're Looking For

• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup environment

• Pragmatic at finding business solutions while balancing risk

• AI-Native: Familiarity with AI agent products, building and using autonomous systems

Nice-to-haves

• Admitted in Singapore, UK, US, or a common law jurisdiction

• Crypto-native: You understand onchain mechanics, DeFi, token structures, and agentic systems without needing a primer
