Legal Project Manager

About the role

We are looking for an experienced program manager to join Binance's Legal team in a PMO capacity. The Legal function sits at the centre of a fast-moving global business, and much of its most important work is cross-functional — it depends on aligning legal, compliance, risk, finance, technology and business teams against hard external deadlines. This role exists to make that delivery happen: owning the plan, driving the workstreams, and keeping senior stakeholders informed and unblocked.

This is not a legal advisory role. You will work alongside lawyers rather than as one, and you'll be expected to operate autonomously on matters that are confidential and business-critical.

What you'll do

• Own end-to-end delivery of large, multi-team legal and regulatory programmes, from scoping through to close-out.
• Coordinate stakeholders across legal, compliance, risk, finance, technology and business units to keep milestones on track.
• Build and maintain trackers, dashboards and management reporting that give senior leadership clear visibility of progress, risks and issues.
• Identify risks and dependencies early, and escalate with a clear view of options rather than just problems.
• Run working-group and steering calls — set agendas, drive decisions, and follow up on actions.
• Act as the coordination point across teams for regulatory and licensing workstreams, including new-market applications.
• Maintain central repositories of licensing status and regulatory commitments across regions.
• Partner with data and technology teams on reporting and tooling where the work is data-driven.
• Work alongside another senior program manager, splitting a portfolio of projects and escalating jointly to the Head of Legal PMO.

What we're looking for

• 8–10 years' experience in program or project management, ideally within a law firm, in-house legal department, or another regulatory-heavy environment.
• A track record of driving cross-functional projects with senior stakeholders — influencing without authority.
• Prior PMO experience inside a legal function
• Comfort with ambiguity: able to create structure and process where none yet exists.
• Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to simplify complex status for executive audiences.
• High discretion and sound judgement on confidential, sensitive matters.
• Experience building trackers, dashboards and management reporting.

Nice to haves

• Experience in crypto or fintech.
• Experience delivering licensing or regulatory application projects across multiple jurisdictions.
• Exposure to data- and technology-driven programmes, including working with BI or reporting tools.
• Experience working across time zones with US-based stakeholders; APAC coverage is helpful.
