International fintech business looking for a Regulatory Counsel with extensive payments sector experience to fill a six month contract for their UK entity. The role can be undertaken on a fully remote basis and requires someone who can start immediately.
The postholder will be given a wide-ranging remit including:
* Provide specialist regulatory legal advice to the business on UK consumer credit and BNPL, translating complex requirements into practical business decisions and implementation guidance.
* Support product development for regulated lending products and go-to-market activity, advising on the regulatory perimeter, product structure, distribution, merchant arrangements, financial promotions and customer terms.
* Advise across the customer lifecycle, including, as applicable, onboarding, pre-contract disclosures, creditworthiness and affordability assessments, servicing, repayments, refunds, arrears, forbearance, collections and account closure.
* In collaboration with operational teams, provide legal support for Financial Ombudsman Service matters
The role requires a UK-qualified solicitor with at least 8 years' PQE (the more, the better!) but applications from all levels will be considered on merit. You will have previously supported a consumer lender, regulated credit provider or comparable fintech business. You must be able to demonstrate a strong knowledge base on a broad variety of regulations such as the Consumer Credit Act, Financial Services & Markets Act, CONC, PRIN, DISP, COND and others.
Please note that although the role is on a remote basis, for tax reasons you must be based in the UK.
Where your application sits along the salary range will depend on the level and relevancy of your experience, as well as whether you undertake the assignment via agency PAYE or umbrella company.
