Description

About Lorum Global payments are not broken. Incentives are. Clearing has been deprioritised inside balance sheet driven institutions whose models rely on lending and interest. When liquidity takes priority over settlement, payments slow and certainty drops. The same financial institutions that distort clearing as providers are disadvantaged as users. They are forced into fragmented setups, inconsistent rails, duplicated compliance, and unpredictable timelines. Stablecoin shortcuts and treasury pooling treat symptoms at the surface, but almost no one is rebuilding the underlying infrastructure in each market. Rebuilding clearing from the ground up We are rebuilding clearing as its own specialist function. We act as a clearing and transaction banking partner for regulated institutions, with treasury built into the core so liquidity, settlement, and reconciliation sit in one controlled system. Our platform unifies global and local licenses, direct central bank clearing, and domestic rails. We allow clients to open named customer accounts in every market we operate, collecting funds and paying out through a single network while retaining full ownership of their customer relationships. Market expansion becomes as simple as one correspondent relationship, not hundreds. Why Lorum Joining Lorum means contributing to one of the most ambitious clearing infrastructure projects in global finance. You will help shape settlement systems that perform under real regulatory standards and institutional volumes. You will build for regulated institutions that rely on precision, predictable timelines, and regulatory integrity. It is about working across currencies, markets, and supervisory frameworks to deliver reliable, final settlement. About the role Role purpose We are looking for a Global Licensing Counsel to lead the execution of Lorum’s licensing strategy and help build the internal capability required to support global regulatory expansion. This role will sit at the center of Lorum’s regulatory growth and will be responsible for driving license applications across jurisdictions while building a scalable internal licensing framework. The role combines hands-on licensing execution with the opportunity to build the internal “licensing machine” that will support the company’s long-term expansion. Over time, the role may evolve into leading a small licensing function within Legal & Regulatory. Why This Role Matters Lorum’s business expansion strategy looks at building a global network of licensed entities. This role will play a central part in making that strategy executable by ensuring the company can efficiently obtain and scale regulatory authorizations worldwide. Key Responsibilities Licensing Execution: * Lead and coordinate license applications across multiple jurisdictions. * Prepare and manage regulatory submissions and supporting documentation. * Coordinate internal workstreams required for licensing projects. Regulatory Structuring: * Support licensing strategy and regulatory structuring for new markets. * Assess regulatory requirements related to payment services, e-money institutions, and related financial infrastructure activities. Regulatory project management: * Act as the internal lead for licensing projects across legal, compliance, risk, and operations. * Manage timelines, regulatory deliverables, and licensing milestones. External counsel coordination: * Work closely with external law firms and regulatory advisors globally. * Ensure efficient collaboration while maintaining internal ownership of licensing projects. Building the licensing capability: * Develop templates, playbooks, and internal processes for license applications. * Help establish a scalable licensing framework as the company expands into new jurisdictions. Ideal candidate We are looking for someone with strong experience in financial services licensing and regulatory frameworks, ideally in payments or related sectors. Must-Haves * Experience working on financial services license applications (payments, e-money, or similar regulated activities). * Strong understanding of regulatory frameworks relevant to payment services and financial infrastructure. * Experience coordinating multi-jurisdictional regulatory projects. * Ability to work closely with regulators, external counsel, and internal stakeholders. * Pragmatic, solution-oriented mindset suited to a fast-growing fintech environment. Nice-to-Haves * Experience with crypto-related regulatory frameworks or settlement infrastructure models is a plus. Benefits * Opportunity to travel (if applicable) * Flexible vacation policy * Private Healthcare * Employee stock ownership (ESOP) * Flexible working and autonomy * Pay it forward days - we offer 2 annual pay it forward days where you can take time to volunteer for a charitable cause that is important to you. * Wellness days - we believe you can only work your best when you feel your best, and we know working at Lorum is intense, so we offer 3 wellness days every quarter where you can take time to re-energise. By submitting this application, I agree that my personal data will be collected, processed, and retained by the company solely for the purposes of managing and assessing my candidacy.
