The Opportunity

As Gelber Group's General Counsel, you will serve as a key member of the executive leadership team at one of the industry's leading proprietary trading firms. The General Counsel serves not only as the firm's chief legal advisor, but also as a trusted business partner whose judgment shapes important decisions across the organization. The role offers meaningful influence over the firm's strategic direction and the opportunity to make a lasting impact. We empower the General Counsel to shape the future of the legal function as an indispensable contributor to the business.

Like all our executives, the General Counsel at Gelber embraces challenges of exceptional breadth. You will encounter a wide range of sophisticated legal, regulatory, governance, employment, commercial, and strategic issues. We have created an executive role that is intentionally hands-on, where leadership and execution go hand in hand. You will lead regulatory initiatives, protect Gelber's intellectual property, advise senior leadership on employment, governance, and organizational strategy, negotiate important agreements, and help shape complex business decisions. Proprietary trading is an outcomes business and we measure success by results. We expect our General Counsel to ensure that Legal serves as a foundational driver of Gelber's success.

We believe exceptional work begins with exceptional relationships. You will work alongside highly analytical traders, researchers, technologists, and business professionals who genuinely enjoy solving difficult problems together. We combine the pace and intellectual challenge of sophisticated financial markets with the accessibility and collegiality of a relatively small organization. Our leaders remain visible, approachable, and engaged across the firm, investing in people and building high-performing teams. We also believe sustained excellence requires balance, and we foster an environment where demanding, rewarding work coexists with a healthy work-life balance. Above all, you'll join a team of talented people who trust one another and take pride in building something exceptional.
