Ready to take your career global?
At Global Payments, we power commerce for millions of businesses around the world. As our business continues to evolve, strong legal partnership is critical to helping us grow, manage risk, and create opportunities for our clients and teams.
This is an opportunity to join a high-performing legal team at the center of a dynamic, global payments business. You'll work across commercial, regulatory, and strategic matters, partnering with teams throughout the organization to influence important decisions and drive business outcomes.
In this role, you'll shape how Global Payments navigates complex legal and commercial challenges, own critical negotiations and legal advice, and create solutions that enable business growth while protecting the company's interests. You'll influence strategic initiatives, strengthen client and partner relationships, and play an important role in shaping the future of commerce.
The Team
This is a new role where you’ll be joining a small legal team of 2 existing lawyers supporting the International business of Global Payments ‘Integrated and Platforms’ (I&P) business division. The I&P business division focuses on working together with independent software vendors and platforms to deliver our products to their customers via platform integrations. The I&P business division is headquartered in North America. The ‘International’ business, however, uses its own independent technology platform and was originally based in Australia and New Zealand, but we are now in expansion mode, having launched in the UK in 2025, and with expansion into Europe planned for next year.
