Your Mission
- Provide legal advisory support across the business: commercial contracts

partnerships, integrations, and vendor/supplier agreements). - Work closely with the risk, compliance, and operations functions to align

Your Skills and Experience

- Deep understanding of payments regulation (open banking, PSD2, e‑money regulations as applicable), data protection (GDPR), AML/KYC, and fintech compliance.
- Strong commercial mindset: able to partner with business teams, support growth, anticipate issues, and provide pragmatic legal advice.
- Excellent contract drafting, negotiation, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
- Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, scaling startup/scale‑up environment, with dynamic priorities and evolving regulatory context.
What We Offer
- Your office, your rules: remote‑first setup with full flexibility — work from home, one of our offices, a café, or while exploring new places. Wherever you feel most productive, that’s your office.
- Keep growing: your growth is our priority. We cover trainings, courses, and certifications so you can sharpen your skills and stay ahead in your field.
- Strong connections: distance doesn’t stop us from building great bonds. From virtual hangouts and creative online sessions to local meet‑ups and company‑wide events, you’ll always feel part of the team.
- All the gear you need: we provide the hardware you need and a budget for your home office setup, making sure you’ve got the perfect tools to succeed.
- Time to recharge: we value balance just as much as results. That’s why we offer plenty of time off to rest, reset, and come back energized.
What Happens Once You Apply
- Your CV will undergo careful review, and we’ll quickly update you on the next step in our recruitment journey.
- Get ready for an easy‑going introduction call with our recruiter, where you’ll delve into the heart of our company, product, and team dynamics, while sharing your own experiences and aspirations.
