Head of Product Legal

About the Role

Polymarket sits at the intersection of information markets, crypto, and traditional derivatives — and the regulatory environment is actively evolving. As Head of Product Legal, you will be the person who keeps us moving fast without stepping on landmines. It's a hybrid role built for someone who thinks in product terms and happens to have deep legal fluency.

You will sit between the legal and product functions and work daily with product and engineering. Your job is to be the first filter on new market categories, new product surfaces, and new features before they ship. You will make calls, document your reasoning, and be an advocate for both the product experience and regulatory considerations. Speed and defensibility both matter here, but you should hate paralysis by analysis.

We need someone who has seen enough of crypto compliance and financial regulation to recognize exposure early, translate it into product constraints the team can act on, and help us build things that hold up as scrutiny increases. If you want to do traditional legal work, this is the wrong role. If you want to be in the room where product decisions get made and be the person who defines what we can and can't build, this is for you.

What You'll Do

• Review new market categories and product features for regulatory exposure before they launch, and give the product team a clear, actionable answer on what's viable and what isn't.

• Translate legal and compliance constraints into specific product requirements that engineering can build to, without requiring lawyers in every sprint.
