Job Description

Who you are

You are an experienced lawyer with a strong background in commercial law, particularly within the fintech or banking sectors. With at least 5 years of experience, you have a proven ability to navigate complex legal challenges and provide pragmatic solutions that align with business objectives. You thrive in environments that require a high level of autonomy and are comfortable making decisions that impact the organization. Your mindset is commercial and performance-driven, allowing you to approach legal tasks with a 'can-do' attitude that supports the bank's success.

You possess a deep understanding of regulatory frameworks and have experience advising on product design and readiness. Your ability to learn quickly and adapt to the regulated sectors is a key asset, enabling you to provide valuable insights to cross-functional teams. You are a strong communicator, capable of articulating legal concepts to non-legal stakeholders and fostering collaboration across departments.

Desirable

Experience working in a fast-paced, innovative environment is a plus. Familiarity with risk management and compliance practices will enhance your ability to contribute effectively to the team.

You will collaborate closely with product teams to ensure that legal considerations are integrated into the design and implementation of new services. Your expertise will be crucial in navigating regulatory requirements and ensuring compliance with applicable laws.

You will also play a key role in advising on risk management strategies and helping the bank maintain a strong compliance posture. Your ability to analyze complex legal issues and provide clear, actionable guidance will be essential in supporting the bank's growth and innovation initiatives. You will engage with external legal counsel as needed and contribute to the development of internal policies and procedures that align with best practices.

What we offer

At ClearBank, you will be part of a dynamic and fast-growing team that values innovation and collaboration. We offer a supportive work environment where you can take ownership of your projects and make a real impact.
