What you'll be doing

  • Corporate Administration & Substance — Support the relevant corporate bodies to ensure that decision-making processes and administrative centres are legally sound and compliant with the latest regulatory expectations.
  • Board & Committee Management — Direct the legal management of the Board of Directors, relevant committees, and Shareholders' meetings, drafting complex minutes and resolutions.
  • Corporate Legal Strategy — Proactively identify governance upgrades needed as we scale and advise on organisational design from a governance/regulatory lens.

Who we're looking for

This role needs someone strategic, rigorous, and commercially minded to drive governance excellence across our legal entities.

  • Background — You are a lawyer with 7 to 10 years of experience built in top-tier Luxembourg or international law firms, ideally complemented by significant in-house experience in regulated Fintech, Banking, or Insurance companies.
  • Luxembourg Regulatory Mastery — You possess a deep understanding of the Luxembourg regulatory landscape.
  • Governance Expertise — You have a proven track record in managing complex corporate governance structures.
  • Strategic & Risk-Based Approach — You can balance strict regulatory requirements with business agility, providing out-of-the-box legal solutions that manage risk effectively.
  • Communication & Influence — You are confident in advising senior management, the Board of Directors, and external stakeholders with clarity and professional judgment.
  • Language Proficiency — You are fluent in English. Knowledge of French and Italian is considered a plus.

Don't worry if you don't tick every box. We believe in the power of different viewpoints and strengths. Your unique perspective is important as we build something special: if you're passionate and can make a difference, we truly encourage you to apply.
