Interim Legal Counsel | 12-Month Fixed-Term Contract | Global Fintech | £115k-£135k + bonus
📄 12-month fixed-term contract, with the opportunity to move to permanent for the right candidate 🌍 Global fintech environment
Our client, a fast-growing global fintech, is hiring an Interim Legal Counsel to join their Legal team. This is a great opportunity to gain broad commercial exposure while partnering directly with business leaders to manage legal risk — working across a genuinely varied diet of work in a fast-paced, international setting. This role might suit an associate looking to diversify their experience away from (eg) a pure financial services background.
The role reports to the General Counsel and works closely with Compliance, Risk, HR, Finance, Product and Operations teams across the business.
