Role
Who you are

- You will be comfortable working independently, have excellent drafting and negotiation skills and thrive working in a fast-paced environment
- Significant PQE in commercial, TMT, or IT law
- Experience working in-house within a FinTech, SaaS, or technology-driven business
- Strong commercial acumen with the ability to quickly identify key legal and business risks

What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Legal Counsel to join our high-calibre legal team on a maternity cover basis (12 month FTC)
- Draft and review complex SaaS product contracts with global financial institutions
- Lead customer contract and key supplier negotiations to establish commercially sound and legally robust agreements
- Advise on existing client contracts, ensuring compliance and risk mitigation
- Collaborate with internal teams (e.g. Product, Relationship Management) to support business objectives
- Manage external legal counsel to ensure cost-effective, high-quality legal advice

Our take
Based in London and also operating out of Toronto and Singapore, TradingHub provides market analytics solutions to some of the world’s biggest investment banks, hedge funds, and asset managers to help them identify and analyse market abuse, rogue trading and other financial misdeeds.
Protecting the integrity of financial markets is crucial to keeping the global economy in good health, or at the very least, able to recover after a downturn. Judging by the scale of TradingHub’s network, the company plays a key role.
Though it keeps most of its client base under wraps, HSBC is one confirmed customer, while TradingHub also publicises that its clients have well over $20 trillion in assets under management (AUM). No doubt the company is operating in a high-stakes environment, but its organic, venture capital-free growth since launch suggests its holding its own.
