Job Purpose

The Head of Legal plays a strategic and operational role in ensuring the company operates within legal frameworks while enabling business growth. This role requires a proactive legal leader who not only provides strategic guidance but also takes a hands-on approach in managing legal affairs, drafting and negotiating contracts, handling regulatory matters, and mitigating legal risks. The ideal candidate will have expertise in corporate, commercial, and employment law, with the ability to navigate complex financial services regulations across multiple jurisdictions.

The role combines strategic leadership with hands-on legal work, offering exposure to complex financial services regulations and high-impact commercial transactions. If you are a dynamic and business-oriented legal professional who thrives in both leadership and operational roles, we invite you to apply and contribute to shaping the future of our company.
