THE OPPORTUNITY THAT AWAITS YOU

Are you a commercially minded Legal Professional who thrives at the intersection of law, product, and financial infrastructure
?

This is suited for legal thinkers who want to help architect how a fintech platform earns regulatory trust, scales across borders, and integrates legal strategy into its technical foundation.

Join a high-growth fintech redefining payments across Africa. You’ll collaborate across licensing, product, AML, engineering, and cross-border money movement—helping translate evolving regulation into operational clarity and defensible systems.

YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Drive licensing applications and regulatory engagement across multiple jurisdictions

  • Managing corporate governance and secretarial compliance.

  • LLB Degree and admitted attorney
  • 4+ years post-qualification experience in fintech, payments, or regulatory law
  • Background in financial services, cross-border payments, or embedded finance
  • Clear communicator who distills legal ambiguity into practical next steps
  • Not a fit:
    Candidates focused solely on litigation, compliance policing, or non-commercial law
  • Bonus:
    Experience with FX, PSPs, crypto assets, or platform licensing
  • Position Requirements
    10+ Years work experience
