Your challenge:
As Senior Legal Counsel, you will be a trusted legal advisor embedded within our product and business development teams.

Proactively collaborate with Compliance to embed regulatory requirements (especially consumer and data protection laws) into product and commercial development.
Support cross-functional legal initiatives and contribute to broader strategic projects that shape our legal operations and frameworks.
Translate complex legal issues into accessible, actionable guidance for product, design, and customer teams, and promote a culture of self-service and legal enablement.
Manage external legal counsel in multiple jurisdictions, ensuring efficient and quality legal support on cross-border topics.
