Senior Legal Counsel

Shakepay

• Partner with Product, Compliance and business teams to help design and launch new products, translating complex legal and regulatory requirements into practical solutions. • Advise on a broad range of legal and regulatory matters across securities, AML/ATF, payments, consumer protection and other areas impacting Shakepay's business. • Lead regulatory initiatives, including supporting examinations, audits, licensing work, policy development and engagement with regulators. • Provide practical, business-oriented advice to leaders across the company, helping teams navigate ambiguity and make informed decisions while balancing legal, regulatory and operational considerations. • Identify opportunities to leverage AI, automation and scalable processes to improve how legal work gets done and enable the business to move faster. • Support the team on a variety of other legal matters as needed, including commercial agreements, corporate governance, employment and strategic projects.

Job Requirements

  • Comfortable advising product and operational teams directly, including on ambiguous questions where there may not be a perfect answer.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to turn complex legal issues into clear, practical guidance for non-legal stakeholders.
