Hey! We’re Teya. Teya is a payment and software service provider headquartered in London serving small, local businesses across Europe. Founded in 2019, we build easy‑to‑use integrated tools that enable our members to accept payments and boost business performance.
At Teya we believe small, local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities. We exist because we don’t believe there is a level playing field that gives small businesses a fighting chance against the giants of the high street, and because banks and legacy service providers make things harder for them. We’re committed to creating a future where small businesses thrive.
Your Mission
At Teya we are building the future of financial services for small businesses across Europe. Building a clear, trusted external voice is central to that ambition. As an Associate in the Corporate and Regulatory Affairs team, you will play a key role in shaping Teya’s reputation and public presence with policymakers, regulators, media, and industry stakeholders.
This role sits at the intersection of public policy, regulatory affairs, and corporate communications. You will help ensure that Teya is visible, credible, and well understood externally by policymakers, regulators, and the media, supporting a steady cadence of corporate communications, public affairs, and thought leadership, while actively tracking regulatory developments and contributing to Teya’s engagement with regulators and industry bodies.
You will work closely with colleagues across Legal, Compliance, Risk, Brand, Marketing, and Product, contributing to initiatives that build Teya’s profile, influence public debate, and strengthen its standing.
Responsibilities
- Support planning and delivery of corporate communications activity, including corporate announcements, press materials, external briefings, and background notes for media and stakeholder engagement.

- Assist in managing relationships with journalists, industry commentators, policymakers, and trade bodies, including preparation for meetings, briefings, and events.

- Work with Legal, Compliance, and Risk to help shape Teya’s regulatory positions on emerging rules and consultations, ensuring they are coherent, well evidenced, and aligned with commercial priorities.
- Coordinate inputs from internal teams to ensure consistency between regulatory positions, policy views, and external communications across channels.
Requirements
- One to three years of experience in public policy, regulatory affairs, corporate communications, financial services, consulting, or a related field.
- Strong written communication skills, with ability to craft clear, concise, credible materials for external audiences.

- Strong organisational skills, managing multiple workstreams and deadlines in a structured manner.
- Close attention to detail and sound judgement when working on externally facing materials.
