General Counsel

Join to apply for the General Counsel role at Robert Walters . This is a high-growth fintech organisation at a pivotal stage of expansion, offering a hands-on General Counsel role close to the business, with responsibility for structuring complex deals and delivering pragmatic, commercial legal advice in a fast-paced environment.

Our client is a rapidly scaling financial services business that provides innovative working capital and payment solutions to businesses across Australia and overseas. Built on a strong technology and data platform, the company partners with financial institutions, investors and distributors to deliver flexible, efficient funding products. With an ambitious growth agenda and a collaborative leadership team, this is an environment that rewards initiative, commercial thinking and the ability to get things done.

You'll lead the legal function end-to-end, partnering directly with the CEO and senior leadership team to support strategic and transactional initiatives.
