Senior Legal Counsel, Employment

Senior Employment Counsel | Leading UK Digital Bank | Confidential Search

A fast-growing, purpose-led digital bank is looking for a Senior Employment Lawyer to join its in-house legal team.

This is a rare opportunity to take a lead employment law role within a well-regarded, FCA-regulated financial services business that has scaled rapidly.

The role:

• You'll advise across the full employee lifecycle: from hiring, reward and executive service agreements to grievances, disciplinaries and settlement agreements, while owning employment-related regulatory matters, including the Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SMCR) and the FCA's Code of Conduct.
• You'll also support international projects linked to the group's technology licensing business, working alongside external counsel across multiple jurisdictions.

What we're looking for:

• 6+ PQE gained at a law firm and/or in-house, with strong technical employment law expertise.
• Experience of banking or financial services is preferred, along with familiarity with SMCR, conduct and remuneration-related regulatory issues.

This role offers genuine influence, a seat close to the business, and the chance to shape employment strategy at one of the UK's most talked-about fintech success stories.

Flexible working is available.
