Deputy General Counsel

LemFi

LemFi (Series B) is building the go-to financial app for the Global South. Moving to a new country shouldn’t mean starting from zero. That's why our team of 400+ spanning 20+ countries is building a financial ecosystem that helps immigrants stay connected to home, build stability, and create wealth regardless of where they are from or where they live. What began as fast, affordable remittances is now evolving into a complete platform for multi-currency accounts, payments, credit, and long-term financial growth.

Lead and mentor the legal team and guide the use of external counsel. * Keep LemFi ahead of the curve in a complex international regulatory environment (FCA, FINTRAC, AUSTRAC) as we expand across Europe and new global markets. YOUR EXPERIENCE * 10+ years in a top-tier international law firm or in-house legal function, with a focus on banking, finance or corporate transactions. * Proven record advising on debt financings, credit facilities, security packages, plus experience with M&A or venture-backed equity. * Strong grasp of capital structures, investor documentation and multi-jurisdictional corporate governance. * Comfortable balancing legal risk with commercial reality. You know how to get to "yes" safely. * Excellent drafting, negotiation and stakeholder management skills. You communicate clearly to non-lawyers. * Confident advising leadership teams directly without large-firm infrastructure support. * Law degree from a reputable university and qualification to practise in the UK or Europe. NICE TO HAVE * Familiarity with fintech or payments regulation. * In-house experience at a high-growth financial services or tech company. * Cross-border expansion or multi-market regulatory experience.
