About the role

We are hiring a Senior Regulatory Counsel to help lead the legal side of Mesh’s global expansion. Working with the Chief Legal Officer and VP of Legal, you will own global regulatory strategy and market entry across LATAM, the EU, the UK, and APAC: assessing what it takes to launch in each market, shaping how our products are offered and distributed there, and driving the licensing and authorization workstreams that make it possible.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of relevant legal experience, with significant time spent on cross-border or international financial services, payments, or crypto/digital-asset regulation
  • Deep knowledge of financial services, payments, and crypto regulatory regimes in key markets (LATAM, UK, EU, APAC)
  • Track record leading market-entry, licensing, registration, and authorization projects across multiple jurisdictions
  • Experience structuring and standing up entities, including cross-border entity formation and corporate structuring
  • Practical, risk-based judgment, with comfort operating across borders, legal systems, and time zones at startup speed
  • Strong cross-functional collaborator with Compliance, Product, and Sales, with the judgment to know what to decide versus escalate
