Senior Legal Counsel

Job description

Legal Counsel 🌍 About Outpost What if going global was as simple as going local? Outpost is building the AI global trade engine. The accumulated knowledge of every rule you'd need to sell internationally, turned into infrastructure. Tell us what you're selling. We'll tell you how to sell it everywhere. We operate as Merchant of Record or Tax of Record across 58+ tax jurisdictions. Full liability transfer, or just the tax layer. We do the analysis, we handle the setup, we absorb the liability. Sell anything, anywhere. Without compromise. 🧠 The Role This is a Legal role for someone who wants to build their career at a fast-scaling fintech and grow with the company. You'll report directly to the Head of Tax & Legal and work across the full legal scope: commercial contracts, payments regulation, AML, corporate governance, and fundraising. You might go deep in one area and build breadth across the others. The shape of the role will evolve as you do. We operate at the intersection of payments, tax, and global commerce. That means Visa/Mastercard scheme rules, EMI and PSD2 frameworks, AML programmes, and commercial agreements with enterprise customers. You'll learn fast and own real work from day one. This isn't a support role. You'll draft contracts, advise on regulatory questions, help build compliance programmes, and work on fundraising. You'll shape how Outpost operates in new markets. As the company grows, so will your responsibilities. 🧗 What You'll Get Yes, the work is intense. But in return, you'll get exposure and ownership most lawyers don't see until much later in their careers. You'll work directly with the CEO, touch every part of the legal function, and help build the infrastructure that lets Outpost scale globally. If you want to grow into a legal leadership role at a category-defining company, this is where you start. 🧩 What You'll Do Commercial & Contracts Draft and negotiate commercial agreements: MSAs, merchant contracts, partnership deals Build contract templates and playbooks that scale Support enterprise deals where legal diligence is part of the sales process Payments Regulation Advise on regulatory posture across EMI, PSD2, and equivalent frameworks Learn scheme rules (Visa, Mastercard) and ensure compliance across payment operations Work with external counsel in new jurisdictions AML & Compliance Help build and maintain our AML policy…
