You will be equally comfortable running day-to-day corporate matters, leading M&A transactions, and advising at the frontier of securities law, including broker-dealer regulation. This role reports to the Chief Legal Officer and will work directly with Figure's CEO and senior executive team on high-priority securities initiatives.

Provide securities law advice on capital markets transactions, including registered offerings, shelf registrations, private placements, and equity plan matters
Lead the company's M&A activity end to end, including deal structuring, due diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements, regulatory approvals, closing, and post-closing integration
Advise Figure's broker-dealer and marketplace businesses on SEC and FINRA regulatory matters, including registration, ongoing compliance, examinations, and interactions with regulators
Partner with senior leadership, including Figure's founder, on strategic securities law initiatives, including the application of federal securities laws to blockchain-native products, tokenized securities, and other novel structures
Manage outside counsel efficiently and coordinate cross-functional execution with Finance, Compliance, Capital Markets, and Product teams
Monitor legal and regulatory developments affecting public companies, broker-dealers, and digital asset securities, and translate them into practical guidance for the business
What We Look For
10+ years of experience at a top law firm and/or in-house at a public financial services or fintech company, with substantial time spent on both corporate/governance and securities regulatory work
Deep subject matter expertise in the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with working knowledge of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Investment Company Act of 1940
Hands-on experience with broker-dealer regulation, including SEC and FINRA rules, registration, and compliance; experience at the SEC or FINRA a plus
Public company experience, including periodic reporting, disclosure judgment, and board/committee governance
Substantial M&A experience, including leading acquisitions, dispositions, and strategic investments through structuring, diligence, negotiation, and closing
Comfort operating in ambiguity and applying established securities frameworks to novel products, including blockchain and digital asset structures
Strong drafting and negotiation skills across corporate and transactional documents
Sound, practical judgment and the ability to deliver clear, decisive advice to senior executives under time pressure
J.D. and membership in good standing with at least one state bar
Excellent written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills
Ability to own, organize, prioritize, and manage multiple high-stakes projects simultaneously
Adhere to all company security policies and data handling procedures.
