One that works for how you live now. Not how your parents banked in the ‘90s.\nYonder combines credit or debit in one membership, designed to be fair, flexible, and actually enjoyable to use. No confusing terms. No dusty points system. Just rewards that actually feel rewarding - from bao to beer to a boarding pass.\nSounds cool. What’s my part in this?\nOver the last year we've added a debit card, a free membership tier, hundreds of new independent partners around the country, countless product improvements and our personal favourite, Yonder Hotels, a new way to use Yonder points on hotels around the world. We've maintained a 4.5 TrustPilot rating and our customers really love us (and we love them back... hi!).\nOver the last few years, we’ve grown from just an idea to a beautiful, fully regulated financial product that our members absolutely love - especially the support we provide them.\nWe are looking for a Legal & Compliance Associate who will be working with our Head of Legal & Compliance (Bryony), and Senior Compliance Manager (Deepti) to help protect our business and ensure we achieve Yonder’s goals, the right way.\nYou must be a qualified lawyer who is excited by the challenge of learning something new and is not afraid of being out of your comfort zone. We want someone who is highly entrepreneurial - you are always asking “how can we make this better” - and is not daunted at the prospect of learning to be a generalist at a fast-growing FinTech.\nWhat you’ll do\nYou will be getting stuck into all things legal & compliance at Yonder. This means:\nOwning our day-to-day legal operations & helping with legal queries - you’ll be the first port of call for member support escalations (e.g section 75 claims and DSARs), marking up commercial contracts, and keeping our corporate housekeeping in order. You’ll advise on a wide variety of legal matters, focusing always on a pragmatic way forward and never sweating the small stuff;\n\nKeeping Yonder compliant - working with Deepti, you’ll help deliver our compliance monitoring plan, auditing our processes, policies and controls, identifying and fixing gaps, and being a shining example of good record-keeping at Yonder;\n\nFinding ways to work smarter - you will help draft and maintain templates, create repeatable processes and automate reviews where possible. Claude will become your best friend, but you will also have the skills to do the basics, knowing that AI is not necessarily the smartest solution to everything.\n\nYou're a great fit if you\nLike autonomy and thrive when given lots of responsibility. This isn’t the kind of role where you’ll be told how to do tasks, and you won’t be part of a large legal & compliance function with set ways of doing things. Bryony will be there to guide you, but day-to-day you’ll need to be comfortable using your own judgment, pushing projects forward and flagging when you hit a roadblock or delay.\nEnjoy solving difficult problems and stay cool under pressure: We’ve got ambitious goals and we like to move fast. You need to be comfortable getting to grips with new areas of law, solving problems quickly and keeping your cool in order to find solutions if things go slightly pear-shaped.\nAre super practical: No-one likes an unnecessary checklist - you must love to think creatively and enjoy finding innovative solutions to even the most standard of legal or compliance issue.\nYou won’t be a great fit if you\nLike to sit on the fence: We pride ourselves on good decision making at Yonder, but we don’t always have perfect information and are not afraid to make mistakes (as long as we learn from them). This is not the role for a lawyer who doesn’t like to make decisions in case they make the wrong one.\nAvoid “boring” work: Let’s face it, not all work is the “fun” stuff, and sometimes the most valuable work we need to do is dull. If you’re someone who tends to cut corners and can’t see the value in the mundane (e.g data privacy documentation), then this job is not for you.\nWant to be a specialist: When we say you will be getting stuck into all things legal & compliance, we mean it. You don’t need to have years of consumer credit or fintech experience, you just need to be willing to work hard, learn on the job and be comfortable with areas of legal and compliance you haven’t worked on before.\nWhat’s it like working at Yonder?\nWe’re office-first, remote-friendly\nWe’re based in our London Shoreditch or Cardiff office, complete with dog visitors and plenty of comfortable space to do your best work. We ask you to come into the office at least 3 days a week, with everyone coming in on Mondays.\nWe take a values-led approach\nOur principles are incredibly important to us, so we recommend you check them out here: Our DNA\nWhat’s in it for me?\nDepending on your skill set and what you can bring from day one, you’ll be looking at:\n£ £68,062 - £77,685 depending on experience\n£ 37,816 - £64,280 stock options\nPlus\n35 holidays (27 days annual leave + 8 days public leave)\nTeam-building offsite\nPrivate healthcare with Bupa\nUp to 12 weeks enhanced parental leave after being with Yonder for 1 year\nLearning & training allowance (£750/year) that you can use on books, courses, etc\nRegular team breakfasts and lunch\nRegular team events like Mini-golf, Escape Room, Cocktail making\nCycle-to-work scheme\nFresh pour-over coffee made by our very own CEO, Tim (London only)\nWhat’s the interview process like?\nWe take the candidate experience really seriously, so we’ve made the process as transparent as possible. We also promise to be super responsive, and will never leave you wondering where you stand for weeks on end.\nHere’s how it works:\nStage 1: Intro call (45 mins):\nYou will have an initial Zoom call with [Hiring Manager] to find out more about you and to tell you more about us.\n\nStage 2: Case interview / Take home task (60 mins):\nInclude - details of task, is it virtual or in person, who is it with\n\nStage 3: Face-to-face interview (2 hours):\nTwo 60-minute interviews to learn more about how you work. This will also be a great opportunity for you to meet the rest of the team so we would love it if you can come into the office for it! Interviews will be structured as follows:\nExperience interview: We’ll deep dive into your CV and talk about your past experiences. This stage will be with..\n\nValues interview: We want to learn more about how you work - we’ll ask you questions related to our principles (Our DNA). This stage will be with two people from our wider team.\n\nWe’ll also include a 15-minute comfort break\n\nStage 4: We always complete reference checks at this stage - ideally with a previous manager and a peer over the phone\n\nStage 5: Offer If everyone’s happy, we’ll make you an offer to join us - YAY! We hope to always give you a decision between each stage within 24 hours (where possible).\n\nOther things to know:\nWe love closing the feedback loop at Yonder. You can expect specific feedback on our decision from Stage 2 onwards, and you can always ask for more.\n\nWe must complete right to work & criminal, politically exposed persons, and default to credit notice background checks for every new Yonder-er for compliance purposes because we handle sensitive customer data.\n\nWe like to move quickly at Yonder, so we will be ready to onboard you once the above checks are complete - the entire process can take between 2 - 6 weeks.\n\nWe know that diverse teams build better products. If you’re from an under-represented community, we’d especially love to hear from you.\nEven if you don’t feel 100% qualified, please do apply anyway. Your attitude and desire to grow are just as important as your experience.\nAbout Yonder\nOur mission is to empower people to build financially rewarding lives.\nWe've built an award-winning debit and credit rewards card that allows members earn points on everyday purchase to use on extraordinary travel, flights, dining, entertainment, wellness, and shopping experiences at premium and emerging brands worldwide, all with no FX fees and more.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8166,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Parental leave","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cards & Card Issuing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-05T20:57:44Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-11-06T12:43:19Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-09T07:32:21+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":null,"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":104656,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/yonder-legal-compliance-associate","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/yonder-legal-compliance-associate.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T11:50:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14223,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":51420},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=51420"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fyonder-legal-compliance-associate"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fyonder-legal-compliance-associate"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fyonder-legal-compliance-associate"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/yonder-legal-compliance-associate\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fyonder-legal-compliance-associate"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3835697}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"yonder.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3835697},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
