  • A strong interest in payments and regulatory counseling and experience advising on legal issues in highly regulated industries

  • Demonstrated knowledge of legal and regulatory requirements in the payments space

  • Experience building trusted relationships and an ability to collaborate with senior stakeholders

  • Strong attention to detail, ability to work in a complex global organisational environment

  • Excellent communicator with the ability to break down complex requirements into easy-to-understand and practical advice
