Our account verification solutions help financial institutions, payment service providers, and enterprises verify account ownership before payments are sent, reducing fraud, improving compliance, and helping money reach the right recipient with confidence.\nFounded by industry veterans from organisations including SWIFT and Thomson Reuters, IPID combines deep payments expertise with modern technology to help make global payments safer, simpler, and more reliable. As we continue to grow, we're looking for talented people who enjoy solving meaningful problems and want to make a visible impact in a fast-moving global fintech.\nThe Opportunity\nThis is our first permanent in-house Legal hire, so you’ll have real ownership from day one. Working closely with the COO, leadership and teams across the business, you’ll be the first call when the legal answer isn’t obvious, whether that’s a difficult commercial negotiation, a new product, privacy and data, governance, regulation, or something we haven’t encountered before. We want someone who gets underneath the legal question, understands what the business is trying to achieve and helps us find a sensible way forward.\nIt’s also a hands-on role. There isn’t a junior Legal team behind you, so you’ll need to enjoy doing the work as much as advising on it: getting into the detail, drafting, negotiating, figuring things out and bringing in external expertise when it genuinely adds value. As the needs of an international fintech evolve, the role will evolve with them. We care less about title than the quality of your judgement, your commercial instinct, your curiosity and your willingness to roll up your sleeves and get things done.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nServe as the first point of contact for legal matters, providing practical, commercially focused advice across commercial, product, corporate, regulatory, privacy, data governance and other business matters. \nPartner with leaders and cross-functional teams on complex or unfamiliar legal questions, balancing legal and commercial considerations and providing clear recommendations. \nDraft, review and negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements, including complex, non-standard and cross-jurisdictional arrangements. \nAdvise on the legal implications of new products, services and business models, identifying regulatory, contractual, privacy and data considerations early and helping teams find commercially workable paths forward. \nLead day-to-day privacy, data protection and data governance advice, including matters relating to data use, sharing, product design and commercial arrangements. \nAdvise on corporate governance and entity matters across the jurisdictions in which the company operates, coordinating required actions and specialist support where appropriate. \nMonitor relevant legal and regulatory developments, translating changes into clear business implications and practical actions. \nIdentify and assess material legal risks, applying sound judgement to recommend proportionate mitigation while enabling the business to move forward. \nDetermine which matters can be handled in-house and when specialist external advice is required; where external counsel is engaged, own the matter internally by setting the brief, managing scope and translating advice into business action. \nDevelop and improve practical legal templates, playbooks, guidance and ways of working that raise quality, enable consistency and reduce unnecessary reliance on external counsel. \nRequirements\nWhat We're Looking For\nQualified lawyer in a relevant jurisdiction, with a strong corporate and commercial law foundation \nTypically 8+ years’ relevant post-qualification experience, with substantial in-house experience and ownership of complex matters \nBroad legal expertise across commercial, product, corporate, regulatory, privacy and data matters \nStrong commercial judgement, balancing legal risk with business objectives to give clear, pragmatic advice \nStrong drafting and negotiation skills, including complex and cross-jurisdictional commercial agreements \nExperience advising Product and Technology teams on new products, services or business models \nStrong working knowledge of privacy, data protection and data governance \nBreadth and confidence to be the business’s first point of legal advice, knowing when specialist external counsel is genuinely needed \nCredibility with senior stakeholders, able to simplify complexity, challenge constructively and influence commercial decisions \nHigh ownership and independence, comfortable navigating ambiguity and establishing practical approaches to unfamiliar problems \nCurious and tech-forward, with the openness and judgement to use AI and emerging technologies to work more effectively \nGood-to-have Requirements\nExperience in payments, fintech, banking, cryptocurrency or digital assets \nCombination of international firm practice training and substantive in-house experience \nPractical experience with US legal and regulatory matters, or working closely with US businesses, customers and counterparties \nExperience working across multiple jurisdictions \nAdditional language capabilities beyond English \nBenefits\nWhat We Offer\nMeaningful Impact - Help build trust in global payments by solving real-world challenges for financial institutions, fintechs, and businesses worldwide. \nLearn from Industry Experts - Gain exposure to global customers, payment ecosystems, and experienced professionals across fintech, payments, and technology. \nOwnership & Growth - Thrive in a collaborative environment where your contributions are visible, valued, and supported through opportunities for learning and career development. \n Share in Our Success - Participate in our Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) and grow alongside the company. \n-------------------\nWorking in accordance with applicable laws, IPID prohibits discrimination against any applicant or employee based on any legally-recognized basis, including, but not limited to: race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, lactation, childbirth or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin or ancestry, citizenship status, physical or mental disability, genetic information (including testing and characteristics), veteran status, uniformed service member status or any other status protected by national or local laws of the jurisdiction in which the applicant resides.\nIf you need assistance or request accommodation during the recruitment process, please contact \nPlease note that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
