We’re looking for a versatile and proactive Legal Counsel (Corporate Generalist) to join our legal team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on variety — supporting day-to-day commercial operations, managing corporate compliance, and driving process improvement.

What you’ll be doing

  • Own BAU contracting across vendor, customer, and partnership agreements — from intake to negotiation to execution.
  • Partner with Finance on procurement terms & conditions, vendor security / privacy schedules, and invoicing or collections protections to balance risk and commercial needs.
  • Maintain and optimize contract templates, repository, and dashboards, tracking metrics such as intake volume, cycle time, and risk trends.

Corporate Governance & Compliance

  • Provide corporate support including board and shareholder documentation, statutory filings, and general corporate housekeeping.
  • Partner with the Compliance team to implement KYC-AML policy updates, respond to audits, and handle regulatory inquiries.
  • Support the development of internal policies and frameworks that uphold compliance while enabling operational agility.
  • Legal Advisory & Risk Management

  • Conduct first-level regulatory and derivatives triage — identifying potential issues, proposing mitigations, and escalating appropriately to the Head of Legal.
  • Advise internal stakeholders on corporate, commercial, and employment law matters with a practical, solutions-oriented approach.
  • Support strategic initiatives such as M&A, fundraising, or international expansion as needed.
  • Ideal Candidate

  • Solid foundation in corporate, commercial, and compliance matters; familiarity with data protection and financial regulations is a plus.
  • Excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills with strong attention to detail.
  • Business-minded and adaptable, able to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
  • Collaborative team player who balances legal precision with commercial pragmatism.
  • Preferred background

  • Ideally with experience in corporate finance, M&A, banking & finance, or capital markets.
  • Demonstrated ownership of commercial contracts from negotiation to execution.
  • Experience partnering with Compliance (KYC-AML), Finance, and HR teams.
  • Proven Track Record Of

  • Reducing contract cycle times and standardising positions across business lines.
  • Translating legal risk into clear, actionable, and business-centric guidance.
