Role Summary

The General Counsel will define and lead the legal function for Sky Ecosystem. This leadership role spans two core dimensions: regulatory expertise, which the General Counsel will personally own, and the building and the leadership of an interdisciplinary function covering capital tokenization, complex IP, due diligence, and legal operations. The role requires a leader who can integrate across highly specialized legal, technical, and operational domains and partner with, challenge, and direct senior internal experts and external counsel across these areas.

The function must operate effectively at both strategic and operational levels: understanding and resolving highly complex legal and structural challenges, while maintaining strong execution across day-to-day legal work.

The General Counsel will serve the entire Sky Ecosystem, be employed by Sky Frontier Foundation, and report to the Board through a designated Board Director.
