Senior Legal Counsel

at  Anyfin

WHO WE ARE

At Anyfin, we’re on a mission to revolutionize financial services, empowering individuals across Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Germany to optimize their finances and save money. We’ve already helped millions refinance costly consumer credits, but our ambitions reach far beyond. We’re gearing up for substantial growth, with plans to expand our customer base, introduce innovative products, and penetrate new markets. To achieve this, we’re seeking a seasoned Senior Legal Counsel to join our Legal & Compliance team.

WHO YOU ARE

To thrive in this role, we’re seeking candidates who embody the following:

• A Swedish law degree
• Between five and ten years of experience in high-paced industries like tech, fintech, or e-commerce
• Exceptional English communication skills
• Demonstrable strategic thinking paired with a pragmatic approach
• Previous experience in law firms or roles encompassing complex responsibilities
• A passion for solving legal problems and collaborating closely with colleagues to achieve shared goals

If you’re the right fit, you understand the importance of teamwork and possess the drive to deliver optimal legal solutions in a fast-paced environment.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

Let’s cut to the chase: Legal & Compliance are the keystones of our operations at Anyfin. We don’t just show up at the eleventh hour for review; we’re deeply embedded in the value creation process from start to finish. Trying to navigate the regulatory landscape of a multinational fintech enterprise without this approach? Trust us, it’s a recipe for disaster.
In this role, reporting directly to our General Counsel, you’ll lead our legal initiatives, ensuring our activities align with legal and regulatory standards while facilitating business growth. From guiding product launches to negotiating contracts, you’ll collaborate across departments, providing strategic legal advice that fuels our expansion.
Every day will present new challenges, but your core responsibilities will include crafting and executing our legal strategy, providing actionable advice to senior stakeholders, and guiding new initiatives with a pragmatic, risk-aware mindset. And yes, we promise not to call you in at the eleventh hour - most of the time, this is a scaleup after all…
