Legal Counsel

We're looking for a Legal Counsel to join the team supporting our European payments infrastructure and money transfer projects. This is a hands-on legal role covering two core directions: our payment infrastructure line and our money transfer/remittance line. You'll work closely with business and compliance stakeholders, drafting contracts from scratch and helping translate business ideas into workable legal structures.

Your Role:

• Draft and negotiate contracts from scratch, working across multiple European jurisdictions.

• Support incorporation and setup of payment entities (EMI / Payment Institution licensing) across jurisdictions including Canada and Europe.

• Provide legal support for the configuration and launch of payment products.

• Advise on money transfer / remittance regulation as well as broader payment infrastructure regulation.

• Work cross-functionally with product, compliance, and business teams to shape legal setups around evolving business needs.

What We're Looking For:

• 3+ years of relevant experience in payment institutions.

• Strong grounding in European payment law — a must.

• Cross-jurisdictional experience: incorporating payment companies and setting up payment products (Canada, Europe, etc.)

• Solid understanding of EMI / Payment Institution regulation in Europe, ideally covering both money transfer regulation and broader financial infrastructure regulation.

• Hands-on experience drafting contracts from scratch.

• Comfortable working in cross-functional teams.

• Fluency in English.

• Practical experience applying AI tools in daily workflows (beyond basic ChatGPT usage).

What We Offer:

• Competitive market rate salary and performance-based incentives.

• 22 days annual leave with an additional 6 company days, plus bank holidays.

• Comprehensive health insurance plans.

• Maternity & Paternity leave support.

• Extensive benefits program.
