We’re hiring a Founding Fintech Legal & Regulatory Lead to help define and drive the legal and regulatory infrastructure at the core of Grand.
This is a high-impact individual contributor role with real ownership. You’ll work AI-first by default, using modern AI tooling to accelerate legal analysis, licensing workflows, regulatory interpretation, submissions, and internal decision-making without sacrificing judgment.
The goal is to help Grand navigate complex regulatory environments across the UK, EU, and beyond — enabling the company to launch products, secure licenses, enter markets, and scale responsibly.
This is not a pure compliance role and not a policy-maintenance role. You’ll be driving licensing, legal structuring, regulatory engagement, scheme onboarding, and supervisory strategy in production, influencing how Grand operates as a modern fintech institution.
Judgment matters as much as legal knowledge. Knowing where to push, where to simplify, and where regulatory flexibility actually exists is part of the job.
You’ll sit close to the founders, product, operations, and external legal partners, shaping how Grand engages regulators, schemes, banking partners, and supervisory bodies. This is a seat at the founders’ table, helping define how Grand scales responsibly in a regulated, built-world market.
Your mission will be to build a repeatable regulatory and legal execution function across licensing, jurisdictional expansion, and regulated product infrastructure.
That’s the wedge. Everything else — governance expansion, policy layering, operational scale-out — comes after, and only when the regulatory foundations underneath it work. We’d rather have one licensing pathway that compounds than five fragmented initiatives that create drag.
