As Legal Counsel, you will be the go-to legal partner for the business, providing practical legal advice, following regulatory developments, reviewing and drafting contracts and customer documentation as our products evolve. You will work closely with management and our central functions (product, commercial, risk, finance, compliance, and customer support), and act as the primary counterpart to our external legal advisors, balancing what is handled in-house and what is outsourced.
