  • Coordinate with Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications, Hearings, and compliance teams to develop legal positions, gather evidence, and prepare witnesses for administrative proceedings.
  • Advise on and support Nasdaq's rule filings with the SEC related to listing standards, delisting procedures, and other matters connected to litigation and appellate work.
  • Brief directors and senior management on actual or threatened litigation, regulatory investigations, and developments in the law that may impact Nasdaq's business.

Required Qualifications

  • J.D. or LLM from a top-ranked U.S. law school or foreign equivalent, with active admission and good standing in one or more U.S. state bars.
  • 2–5 years of experience at a top-tier law firm, financial institution, technology corporation, or government agency, with a focus on litigation, regulatory enforcement, administrative proceedings, or securities law.
  • Substantive expertise in SEC administrative proceedings or complex commercial litigation, with demonstrated strength in brief drafting and legal advocacy.
  • Experience conducting or responding to regulatory inquiries by federal financial regulators.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to detail and a high standard of professional integrity and judgment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with exchange or self-regulatory organization (SRO) listing standards, delisting procedures, or rulemaking.
  • Ability to advise on risk mitigation best practices and track global legal developments in a dynamic, multinational environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop subject matter expertise across a broad range of legal issues in a global financial technology company.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
