EU Blockchain Compliance Expert (MiCA & AML)

What you will be doing

• Advisor to entrepreneurs and decision-makers: As a trusted advisor to entrepreneurs and decision-makers, you will provide fast-growing startups and established companies with the expertise and counsel they need to achieve their vision in the blockchain and financial market regulatory sector. 

• Compliance expert in various fields: You will guide our customers through the jungle of EU financial market regulations with a particular focus on MiCA, and you will assist companies with their AML compliance obligations. The activities range from defining the initial structuring of the customers’ setup in Europe to the assistance with obtaining licenses and ensuring ongoing compliance. While you will focus on the EU and Switzerland, you will also have a chance to work closely with our partners in other important crypto jurisdictions, attend international events and expand our network as we strive towards offering global support to our clients. 

• Leader: We support your personal growth by helping you develop leadership skills in practical settings. You’ll lead projects from the get-go and have the opportunity to build up and manage (if you choose!) a team. 

• Business (wo)man: You’ll identify growth opportunities, create new products, and help expand LEXR’s client base through sales and business development, supported by our growth team. 

What is required

• Fluent English: You’ll work with both local and international customers. Fluent English skills are essential. German and/or French skills are an asset.  

• Passion for blockchain and fintech businesses: You should have a strong interest in all things blockchain and fintech. Our fast-paced environment requires curiosity about our clients’ business models and staying up-to-date with the latest legal and tech developments. Our clients value our hands-on approach and practical experience, so familiarity with digital assets and the business models around them is essential.  

• Experience: Prior relevant work experience is an asset, but we believe genuine interest and curiosity trumps experience. So please apply regardless of prior work experience, we would love to meet you!  

• Qualification: Being a qualified lawyer is a plus, though not required. We also encourage candidates with non-traditional backgrounds to apply. 

• Growth mindset: We’re looking for individuals who can see opportunities and are willing to strive for the right balance, driven by continuous personal and professional growth.  

• Attention to detail: Providing actionable legal advice means going beyond simply reciting laws. At LEXR, we dig deeper and work harder to provide the best solutions to our customers, which requires diligence and attention to the details of every case and every document.  

• Business sense: To provide actionable and valuable advice, you need at least a basic understanding of how the business world works. 

• Team spirit: You’ll work closely with customers and team members alike. You are humble, positive, open, and enjoy getting to know what makes people tick. 

• IT affinity: We are 99% digital and constantly test out new tools to improve our work environment and customer experience.  

What you will get

• Exciting work: At LEXR, you’ll do more than just automate routine legal tasks. You’ll have the opportunity to advise the companies of the future, working directly with entrepreneurs and decision-makers. We are advisors to many of the leading companies in the Blockchain, Crypto and FinTech sector. 

• Become an entrepreneur: We trust our team and avoid micro-management. Every LEXR member is encouraged to take ownership of their work, contribute their own ideas, and make a positive impact. You will enjoy freedom and responsibility in your work. 

• Team spirit and open structures: Joining LEXR means becoming part of a driven, self-motivated, and welcoming team that achieves great things together. We promote camaraderie through regular team events and trips to startup hubs, like Lisbon, Tel Aviv, Berlin, and the Swiss Alps. From day one, your voice will be heard, thanks to our flat hierarchies. 

• Competitive pay: We offer a competitive salary package that includes an above market-standard base salary and potential access to an employee participation plan. 

• Location independence: We offer an office in Lisbon, but also a fully digitized work infrastructure to set you free to change your work setting from time to time. A membership with Outsite is also included. 

• Training and development: We believe in continuous learning and growth. We invest in our people with regular training sessions and courses that encourage them to thrive.
