General Counsel

As we enter a pivotal growth phase at AdmiTrade and BeOne, we are seeking a strategic and experienced General Counsel to lead the legal function across both companies. This executive role involves providing comprehensive legal guidance on corporate, commercial, regulatory, and governance matters to support our innovative ventures in cryptocurrency trading and next-generation neobanking.

You will work closely with the CEO, senior leadership, and external partners to manage legal risk, ensure compliance, and enable business growth. This is a unique opportunity to shape the legal framework of two dynamic companies at an early stage and play a critical role in their long-term success.

About us:

AdmiTrade is a dynamic trading company dedicated to maximising returns for investors through strategic trading and investment strategies in the evolving cryptocurrency market.

So far, we have focused on providing liquidity for centralised exchanges, building the necessary technology, and validating the market.

We are now embarking on the next phase of our growth by building a platform for institutional clients and high-net-worth individuals that offers access to significant depth, dynamic credit lines, and passive capital multiplication methods. Additionally, our goal is to increase our activity as a market maker on centralised exchanges and expand into decentralised markets.

BeOne (stealth mode project): We are building a next-generation neobank that will redefine how individuals and businesses manage their money. With multi-currency accounts, ultra-low transaction fees, real-time global payments, and powerful financial tools, our platform seamlessly blends traditional and digital finance.

In both projects, we are currently forming our team, starting with management, to achieve these objectives. This presents a unique opportunity for candidates to actively participate in building the company and driving its future success.
