In this role, you will shape our day-to-day legal landscape, collaborating with commercial and compliance teams to negotiate business agreements - from NDAs to global commercial partnerships - that drive impact and ensure compliance on a global scale.

• Play a supporting role within the Legal Department in connection with all legal matters, including relating to employment, intellectual property, privacy, cybersecurity, compliance-related issues and any and all other legal issues that may arise globally.

• Support the delivery of strategic projects for the Legal Department.

• Contribute to team development, scaling, efficiency and improvement.

What skillset do you need to be successful in this role?

• Min. 2 years of hands-on experience with a law firm or as in-house counsel, but impact matters more than years.

• Strong foundation in corporate governance.

• Bar membership (not necessarily in the Czech Republic) in good standing, or currently in pursuit of an apprenticeship/qualification towards it.

• Ability to manage complexity - making sense of high-quantity or contradictory information to solve problems.

• Planning and organizational skills, with a strong ability to prioritize tasks and deliver high-quality results on time.

• Strategic thinking with a detail-oriented approach to execution, compliance, and proactive risk management.

Nice to have:

• Working experience in FinTech, the FX/trading sector, derivatives, payment services, or cryptocurrency from a commercial and legal perspective.

• Regulatory experience within the global financial services industry.
