Review, negotiate, and draft various commercial agreements.
Support the General Counsel on major projects and corporate initiatives.
Monitor regulatory changes and provide relevant reports to the Executive team.
Drive continuous improvement, scalability, and operational excellence in corporate legal processes and execution.
To be successful you will have: Relevant post-qualification experience, ideally from a top-tier law firm or related in-house environment.
Substantial experience with AFSL law and financial services regulatory matters, gained from private practice or in-house roles.
A strong understanding of commercial contracts and regulatory landscapes, with a preference for corporate or technology-focused practice groups.
Knowledge of crypto regulatory frameworks and a willingness to contribute to shaping Swyftx's policy positioning.
Ownership mindset with accountability end-to-end and the ability to seek support when needed.
Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the capacity to provide clear, practical advice tailored to diverse audiences.
Strong project management and organisational abilities, coupled with meticulous attention to detail.
Some of our perks and benefits include: Unlimited fee-free trading
Career growth, training, mentorship, and development opportunities
Social activities, game breaks and recognition awards
Fully stocked kitchen, breakfast and lunch foods, unlimited fresh fruit, snacks and kombucha
Weekly catered lunches on a Wednesday

We value and embrace the unique experiences, qualities, and characteristics that each member of our team brings, and we're committed to cultivating an inclusive workspace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to do their best work.
