Senior Legal Counsel (Generalist)

About the role

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• AI-native team, no outdated workflows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
