Associate General Counsel

The Company is in search of a dynamic and experienced Associate General Counsel to take on a pivotal role as the primary legal partner for its global proprietary exchange data business. The successful candidate will be at the forefront of commercial licensing matters, leading the way in the drafting, negotiation, and management of a variety of product licenses. This includes agreements for exchange-traded products, software licenses, and complex multi-party arrangements. The role also demands a keen focus on regulatory and compliance issues, particularly within the frameworks of CFTC, FCA, ESMA, and SEC, and the ability to provide strategic legal guidance on emerging technologies such as digital assets and AI. Applicants must have a Juris Doctor (JD) or equivalent legal qualification, with a minimum of 8-12 years' legal experience, and a strong background in commercial licensing, financial products, or capital markets. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in managing legal risks, advising senior business executives, and a deep understanding of derivative exchange markets. In-house counsel experience in a financial exchange, market data business, or financial technology firm is highly preferred. The role requires a professional with excellent communication skills, executive presence, and the ability to balance legal risk with business objectives. A collaborative team player with the ability to work independently and across time zones is essential.
