Description

  • Own the Product & Regulatory legal remit across Mews’ SaaS and fintech environment, including priorities, operating norms, and quality standards.
  • Embed with Product and Engineering as a hands-on product counsel throughout the design and release lifecycle.
  • Surface, triage, and resolve legal, regulatory, and commercial trade-offs early and pragmatically.
  • Provide senior legal guidance on regulated product design, launch, and scaling across payments, embedded finance, money transmission, partner-bank and BaaS models, and cross-border propositions.
  • Build, manage, and coach a small specialist pod of counsel and paralegals.
  • Create playbooks, templates, and working norms that help teams move faster without adding risk.
  • Use AI to improve speed, quality, and consistency in delivering legal support to product development.
  • Act as the senior legal point person for product-related regulatory matters across the business.
  • Set standards for what the team handles directly, standardizes, or escalates.
  • Support product teams in making sound decisions early and with repeatable operating discipline.

Requirements

  • Significant in-house legal experience in technology, SaaS, or fintech.
  • Strong evidence of working closely with product teams rather than reviewing work after the fact.
  • Strong fintech and regulatory exposure, ideally in payments, embedded finance, or money transmission.
  • Experience releasing regulated products and handling partner-bank or BaaS models.
  • Working knowledge of AML, BSA, KYC, and KYB as applied to product and operational decisions.
  • Experience with supervisory expectations, audits, investigations, or regulatory change.
  • A hands-on builder mentality with examples of processes, guidance, or tooling created.
  • Sound commercial judgment that balances legal risk with business outcomes.
  • People-leadership experience, ideally managing lawyers and/or paralegals.
  • AI Fluency Level 3 or equivalent hands-on experience using AI in day-to-day legal work.
  • Experience acting as true product counsel rather than purely commercial counsel (preferred).
  • Experience in earlier-stage or scaling environments rather than highly siloed large-enterprise settings (preferred).
  • Experience leading a regional or specialist legal team while staying close to product and business execution (preferred).
  • Location in the US, UK, or EU considered.

Benefits

  • $252,000–$270,000 USD salary band for the United States.
  • Participation in the company share program.
  • Unlimited paid holiday.
  • Paid parental leave: 6 months fully paid for primary caregivers and 2 months for secondary caregivers after one year of service.
  • Annual learning budget of €300, with more for high performers.
  • Monthly EDGE time for Explore, Develop, Grow, and Elevate.
  • Work-from-anywhere policy with the ability to work abroad for a few weeks each year.
  • Flexible, hybrid working options.
  • Home office setup budget and a monthly work-from-home allowance.
