As Senior Legal Counsel, you will play a key role in shaping Bitvavo’s next phase of growth as we expand across Europe in a rapidly evolving sector.

What is the role about?

As Senior Legal Counsel, you will play a key role in shaping Bitvavo’s next phase of growth as we expand across Europe in a rapidly evolving sector. Working as part of a dynamic legal team of 7 FTE, you will set up, strengthen, and continuously improve the legal framework of the company.

  • Enhancing our policy framework, including contributions to AML compliance
  • Resolving daily legal challenges and ensuring smooth operations

How will you be successful?

  • The ability to independently manage and complete projects while collaborating within a team
  • Experience in financial regulation or crypto-specific regulations (preferred)
  • A strong affinity with or interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain is essential 
  • Fluency in English is essential; Dutch language skills are strongly preferred
