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- AI-native team, no outdated workflows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
