The world of digital assets is accelerating in speed, magnitude, and complexity, opening the door to new ways for leveraging the blockchain. Fireblocks’ platform and network provide the simplest and most secure way for companies to work with digital assets and it trusted by some of the largest financial institutions, banks, globally-recognized brands, and Web3 companies in the world, including BNY Mellon, BNP Paribas, ANZ Bank, Revolut, and thousands more.
We are seeking a highly experienced policy professional with a passion for blockchain technology and digital identity to join our Legal Team as we navigate a complex and evolving global regulatory environment.
As Director of Policy - North America, you will be part of the Policy sub-group within the Fireblocks Legal Department.
You will be expected to establish, cultivate, and maintain relationships with key policymakers, legislators, and regulators in the US and Canada, in order to advance Fireblocks’ core mission of enabling all businesses to safely and securely interact with digital assets.
You will have an additional responsibility to work with Fireblocks’ Identity and Compliance Product teams to inform and enable the development of identity capabilities within our platform that reduce friction in the access to and transfers of crypto-assets, financial instruments, and payment funds.
To be successful in this role, you will need to work closely with the in-house regulatory team, product, and sales to understand strategic priorities and craft effective messages and delivery strategies in different geographic regions. You will also be engaging directly with clients from time to time to help them navigate - and collaborate on shaping - digital asset regulation.
It is anticipated that you will be required to engage and manage local experts to maximize the impact of your work.
The base for this role is the US, with a strong preference for a NYC or Washington DC-based candidate.
For employees hired to work remotely from New York, or from our NYC HQ, Fireblocks is required by law to include a reasonable estimate of the compensation range for this role. This range is specific to New York City and takes into consideration a wide range of factors that are reviewed when making a hiring decision, such as years of experience, skills, and other business needs.
It is not typical for a candidate to be hired at or near the top of the pay range and each compensation decision is dependent on each individual case. A reasonable base salary range estimate for this position is $175,000 - $240,000. The base salary is one component of the total compensation package, which for some roles may include a target bonus, a very competitive equity grant, and very generous benefits.
While we believe competitive compensation is a critical aspect of your decision to join us, we do hope you also spend time considering why our mission and culture are right for you. We are creating something transformational here, and we hope you are as excited about the future as we are.
