Driving the next generation of wealth.
Digital assets are redefining how wealth is created, used, and transferred. Since 2018 at Nexo, we have been building the future model of financial wealth - dynamic, accessible, and designed for a new generation of forward-thinking investors.
But technology alone doesn’t drive progress. People do.
We are a team of builders, strategists, analysts, creatives, and operators united by a shared mindset: advancement. We move fast, think long term, and take ownership. We challenge ideas, not people. We value clarity over noise and impact over optics.
What makes Nexo different?
We shape industry trends. We rethink how wealth works and build solutions that reflect that belief.
That requires a certain kind of person.
You will thrive here when you think independently and act decisively, take ownership without waiting for permission, and care deeply about quality, long-term value, and disciplined execution. The people who succeed at Nexo bring analytical depth, sound judgment, and resilience - but also curiosity and the drive to keep improving.
This is an environment for people who want to lead, create, and elevate what already exists. If building what’s next excites you, you’ll feel at home at Nexo.

Your role:
- Draft, negotiate, and manage commercial agreements with banks, payment providers, investment firms, vendors, and other regulated partners, including service-level agreements and general terms and conditions.

- Support US-related initiatives together with the US legal team and external US counsel, including bank, payment provider, investment, and licensing matters.
- Support negotiations with financial partners from term sheet to signed agreement.
- Be a go-to legal partner for Compliance, Business, and Product teams, so legal and regulatory requirements are considered early.
