Description

We are looking for a Senior Legal Counsel who will serve as a trusted partner to the business and a project-owning operator within the legal team. This is a senior and hands-on function: you will own mandates end-to-end, lead cross-functional initiatives, and ensure that legal work is implemented effectively in day-to-day business operations, while being ready to handle routine legal matters when the business requires it.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

  • Act as a legal generalist and key partner to internal teams - compliance, operations, finance, technology, and senior leadership - owning legal projects end-to-end
  • Advise on employment and HR matters across multiple legal entities, including labour law, occupational health and safety, and employment-related contracts
  • Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of commercial and operational documents, including NDAs and commercial contracts
  • Monitor regulatory developments in key jurisdictions and translate them into clear, actionable guidance for the business
  • Support licensing and ongoing compliance in regulated markets (Malta, India, UAE/DIFC), including DORA-related IT services compliance in Malta
  • Lead legal support for expansion into new markets: entity setup, regulatory approvals, commercial launch
  • Manage external counsel to ensure practical and cost-effective legal support

WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN YOU:

  • Qualified lawyer with 7+ years of post-qualification experience
  • Proven track record managing complex, multi-jurisdictional legal projects independently and to deadline
  • Strong commercial instincts - you understand business objectives and calibrate legal advice accordingly
  • Advanced user of Google Workspace and modern AI platforms including Gemini, Claude, and equivalent tools; you leverage these daily to increase output quality and speed
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication - you can translate complex legal analysis into clear, actionable guidance for non-lawyers
  • Highly organised, deadline-driven, and composed under pressure across competing priorities

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN OUR TEAM?

  • Direct collaboration with leadership — real access, real impact
  • Full project ownership from day one — you lead mandates, you do not just support them
  • Fully remote from anywhere in the world
  • International mandate spanning a vast number jurisdictions and a genuine variety of legal work
  • A team that operates with modern tools and an AI-native mindset — no outdated workflows
  • 40 paid days off per year
  • Competitive compensation reflecting the seniority and scope of the role

Not a perfect match on paper? We hire for potential and mindset, not just credentials. If you think you'd bring something valuable to the team — we'd still love to hear from you. Use your cover letter to tell us why.
