Legal Counsel

Here at 10x Banking we believe banks are slowed down by their own legacy technology and we're here to change that. Our community brings together banking industry knowledge with market-leading, next gen, cloud native technology required to move banking into the 21st century.

The biggest banks around the globe use our platform to power some of the world's most innovative financial propositions. And to do this we've built a team that has the breadth of knowledge and experience we need to push our product forward.

We have headquarters in London and Sydney, but our 10x teams work around the globe with colleagues in Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa and all over the UK and Ireland.

Join us in our mission to make banking 10x better for customers, banks and society!

About the role:

Reporting to the General Counsel, this role will be an integral part of 10x's Legal function 10x. You will provide general corporate and commercial legal support across the business, supporting the group's requirements here in the UK, as well as in Australia and elsewhere as the group expands into new territories. You will work closely with numerous business operations and technical teams across the business, including Sales, Product, Finance, Supplier Management and with our compliance and risk control functions.

About You:

You will be a commercial/corporate generalist that can build relationships with our internal clients. You will be focused on supporting the customer-facing team to win new business, and strengthening relationships with existing customers, through drafting and negotiating commercial contracts and overseeing adherence to the contractual obligations in those agreements. You will help with the operationalisation of the legal function as the business scales, liaise with outside counsel and support the General Counsel in managing the Group's legal requirements.

This might include:

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating various customer and supplier contracts
• Supporting the organisation with drafting and reviewing various other legal agreements, and corporate and regulatory documents and filings
• Providing practical legal advice and training to your colleagues
• Supporting the development and maintenance of 10x's corporate and regulatory compliance programs; and
• Monitoring legal and regulatory trends and analysing their impact on 10x, as well as our customers.

We are looking for someone who is well-rounded, can work independently and is not afraid to "roll their sleeves up and get stuck in". 10x is at an inflexion point in its growth and we are looking for someone who wants to help in the organisation's growth and to make our business 10x better.

Ideally you will have
