The successful candidate will work closely with senior lawyers and cross-functional stakeholders, including commercial, product, risk, compliance, tax, finance and operations teams.

What You’ll Own 

• Support the drafting, review and negotiation of a range of commercial agreements, including customer, supplier, partner, technology and intra-group arrangements.
• Support dispute, claims, debt recovery, insolvency or enforcement-related matters as required.
• Provide practical legal support to internal stakeholders on day-to-day business queries, escalating complex or high-risk matters where appropriate.
• Support legal input on product, regulatory, operational and strategic projects.
• Work with compliance, risk, data privacy and regulatory colleagues to help ensure legal advice is aligned with applicable laws, internal policies and business requirements.
• Assist with legal research, horizon scanning and preparation of briefings on relevant legal and regulatory developments.
• Help maintain and improve legal templates, playbooks, trackers and processes to support efficiency and consistency across the legal function.
• Assist with tax and corporate governance matters, including board and committee support, entity management, approvals, filings and maintenance of corporate records.

What you’ll bring

• Qualified solicitor or barrister in Ireland, England and Wales, or another relevant common law jurisdiction, with 0–3 years’ PQE.
• Strong academic background and training from a reputable law firm, in-house legal team or equivalent legal environment.
• Exposure to commercial contracts, corporate, financial services, technology, fintech, payments or regulated industries would be advantageous.
• Clear, concise and practical communication style, with the ability to explain legal issues to non-legal stakeholders.
• Good judgement, attention to detail and the ability to balance legal risk with commercial objectives.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and work to deadlines.
• Collaborative with a proactive and commercial approach to problem solving.
• Comfortable working in an international business with cross-border stakeholders and matrixed teams.

What we offer

• Exposure to a broad range of legal, commercial and regulatory matters within a global fintech payments business.
• The opportunity to work closely with experienced in-house counsel and senior business stakeholders.
• A collaborative, supportive and fast-paced environment where you can develop your legal, commercial and stakeholder management skills.
