We're looking for a Legal Counsel who is eager to step up to a Senior Legal Counsel to act as trusted legal partner to the team covering home insurance, boiler & home cover, income protection, a cashback card and consumer credit. You'll also step into people management, with one to two Legal Counsels reporting into you.

This is a commercial and negotiation role, not a regulatory specialism -

there's a dedicated Compliance team for FS regulatory advice.

However, you must have prior experience working within or alongside an insurance or financial services environment.

You need to be comfortable in the room when regulatory issues come up, know your way around the FCA Handbook, and know when to bring in specialist input.

What you'll do

Be the primary legal business partner to the Financial Services division

Advise on insurance, cashback card and consumer credit products, plus key supplier agreements

Support new financial products from concept to launch

Manage, coach and develop a small team of Legal Counsels

What you'll need

5–7 years PQE, in-house and/or private practice

Essential: experience working within or alongside a financial services. insurance or fintech environment , with working knowledge of FS regulation

Strong track record negotiating commercial and technology contracts

Experience managing or mentoring junior lawyers, or clear readiness to do so

Comfort with legal tech/CLM systems and openness to Legal AI tools

Insurance, payment services or consumer credit experience is a plus, not essential

You will be joining a superb team who all take ownership in their own areas. The business and team are hardworking, fun and all thrive in a fast paced environment. They are based in central London with two days a week in the office.
