About the job

We are looking for a Senior Legal Counsel – an in-house generalist who owns legal projects end-to-end, from framework design down to forms and filings and ensure that legal work is implemented effectively in day-to-day business operations.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

  • Act as a legal generalist and key partner to internal teams – compliance, operations, finance, technology
  • Own regulatory implementation projects: internal policies, compliance frameworks (including DORA in Malta), ongoing regulatory reporting
  • Lead legal side of new market entry: entity setup, licensing, engagement with local regulators and consultants
  • Draft and negotiate commercial agreements, including complex non-standard contracts in new markets
  • Advise on employment and HR matters across multiple legal entities, including labour law and employment-related contracts
  • Manage external counsels where specialist advice is needed

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

  • Qualified lawyer, 7+ years of experience – in-house, law firm, or both
  • Experience in a regulated or licensed business is a strong plus
  • You handle a wide range of legal matters independently and to deadline
  • You enjoy long, process-heavy projects – the result is a clean, compliant operation, not a headline deal
  • Advanced user of modern AI tools; you use them daily
  • Clear communicator - you explain complex things simply

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN OUR TEAM?

  • Real ownership of your projects, short decision lines
  • Fully remote from anywhere in the world
  • Multiple jurisdictions, genuine variety of legal work
  • AI-native team, no outdated workflows
  • 40 paid days off, competitive compensation

Not a perfect match on paper? We hire for potential and mindset, not just credentials. Tell us in your cover letter why we should talk.
