WHY WE’RE HIRING FOR THIS ROLE

As Peach Payments continues to grow, the complexity and volume of our legal and compliance obligations have increased. To ensure that we continue to meet these challenges effectively, we are seeking a “Legal and Compliance Support Coordinator” to enhance our in-house legal and compliance team’s capabilities.
The “Legal and Compliance Support Coordinator” will play a pivotal role in supporting our legal and compliance operations by managing and streamlining administrative processes, assisting with merchant contract updates, sign requests, contract management, and completing due diligence forms. Your work will directly impact our ability to operate efficiently.
This position offers the opportunity to engage with multiple facets of our business, providing expert support and gaining invaluable insights into the inner workings of a bustling corporate legal department.

WHAT DO THE FIRST 3-6 MONTHS LOOK LIKE IN THIS ROLE?

You’ll take a deep dive into ongoing contracts and compliance projects. The goal is to understand the current status, the processes in place, and the immediate next steps. As you gain confidence and familiarity with our procedures, you will begin to take on more responsibility for managing contracts from start to finish and ensuring compliance processes are correctly followed. Gradually, you will start handling routine legal and compliance tasks independently, such as managing the signature process for contracts, maintaining accurate records, and ensuring that all legal documents are compliant and up-to-date.
