- for businesses everywhere.
GoCardless is used for domestic and international payments by 75,000+ organisations and counting, processing more than $30 billion across 30 countries.
The role:
We're approaching 'Legal Risk' in Financial Services in a new way.
- We are ready to serve everyone, if we wanted to we ensure Legal Risk does not constrain the business but empowers it to achieve its goals;
- We create the best possible customer experience we want our customers (both internal and external) to look forward to going through our processes; and
- We aim to automate wherever possible we don't like inefficiencies nor do we believe that real risk mitigation is achieved by throwing people at the problem.

- Supervising paralegals on specific matters
- Instructing and managing external legal counsel
- Helping to build out and maintain selfhelp tools, playbooks and guides for the legal team and for the wider business
- Responding to the business by answering legal questions submitted through the GoCardless legal ticketing system
- Supporting the People team on French employment matters
- Focusing on constant process improvement related to high volume work for example by iterating our contracting automation and management workflows
- Being prepared to deal with any legal issue, at any time.
What excites us:
As a technology business, it helps if you have had experience in a similar area, or perhaps you have a keen interest in tech outside of your day to day work.
We'd love to hear from you if:

- You have some experience and appetite for legal project work
- You are able to appropriately challenge ways of working and not be afraid to ask why?
- You are a selfstarter who is proactive and you are willing to roll up your sleeves to get the job done
- Your communication skills are first class, and you are able to distil complex and cumbersome legalese into understandable English
- You love tech and tools, and love exploring how they can contribute to efficiency and customer experience.
- You enjoy project management and thrive on operational efficiency.
- You do not take yourself seriously and like laughing
- You are easy to work with, and want to work in a fun, fastgrowing and challenging environment.
