Deputy General Counsel, Strategic Partnerships

Who We Are At OKX, we believe that the future will be reshaped by crypto, and ultimately contribute to every individual's freedom. OKX is a leading crypto exchange, and the developer of OKX Wallet, giving millions access to crypto trading and decentralized crypto applications (dApps). OKX is also a trusted brand by hundreds of large institutions seeking access to crypto markets. We are safe and reliable, backed by our Proof of Reserves. Across our multiple offices globally, we are united by our core principles: We Before Me, Do the Right Thing, and Get Things Done. These shared values drive our culture, shape our processes, and foster a friendly, rewarding, and diverse environment for every OK-er. About the Legal Team The Global Legal team is a world-class function that provides strategic legal counsel to OKX and its affiliated entities across every coverage area and jurisdiction. We are architects of the legal frameworks that enable OKX to scale responsibly, advising on the regulatory, contractual, and policy dimensions of everything we do. Our attorneys are embedded across the globe, handling matters across hundreds of markets, from established financial centers to emerging crypto-forward jurisdictions. OKX's institutional business is one of the fastest-growing segments of our global platform, serving hundreds of the world's most sophisticated trading firms, funds, and financial institutions. As crypto enters its next phase of institutional adoption, we're looking for a senior legal leader to architect the legal frameworks that will underpin this growth — across custody, trading, prime services, and strategic partnerships — in a regulatory environment that is still being defined. About the Opportunity: In this role, you will report to OKX's Global Head of Commercial and Marketing Legal, lead a small but mighty global team and own legal coverage for a deal pipeline that spans hundreds of strategic and institutional counterparties and billions in annual notional flow. You will work directly with OKX's executive leadership and have visibility into the company's most strategically significant initiatives. This is a defining leadership role within OKX’s Global Legal function. As Deputy General Counsel, Strategic Institutional Partnerships, you will serve as the senior legal architect for one of OKX’s most strategically important business lines: our institutional trading, custody, and partnership ecosystem. You will be the primary legal authority on all matter
