We are now seeking a passionate and experienced hands-on Legal Counsel to join our dynamic legal team based in London!

As Legal Counsel, you will possess a deep understanding of legal principles, enjoy working with different teams and have experience in a high-performing commercial setting.

• Be a part of the legal team and report to the Senior Legal counsel
• Draft, review, and negotiate contracts for commercial transactions, including general customer contracts, supplier T&C’s, MSAs, consultancy, non-disclosure agreements and partnerships
• Join customer calls to answer questions about our commercial standards, our product, and our operational norms and policies.
• Working in collaboration and/or independently on various deals under end of month, quarter, and year end, and have the ability to judge when to escalate or/and get a second opinion
• Assist in various legal or cross-organisational activities or projects and liaise with the other functions in the company
• Assist in handling of general corporate legal matters and management of legal company documentation

• Be able to consume & communicate information to internal and external stakeholders and execute at fast speed, and work well in a fast-paced and agile environment
• Strong business vs risk acumen, i.e possess a solid understanding for when the business needs a quick reply, as opposed to a extensive deep dive for a exhaustive answer

We also believe you

• Are curious, open and have a business oriented mindset, while at the same time having good legal analytical skills and attention to details.
