Since 2007, eToro has built regulated services across social trading, blockchain, crypto, DeFi, non-custodial services and machine-learning-based investment products. eToro's products and global operations raise complex legal questions at the intersection of financial services, technology and regulation. The Legal Team supports the business with practical, commercial advice on fast-moving and highly regulated matters. Who we're looking for - Based at our Cyprus headquarters, this role suits a commercially minded senior lawyer with strong international experience in fintech, financial services, trading, who enjoys complex challenges, takes ownership and thrives in a dynamic, international environment. You will work across the full range of the company's legal needs - from day-to-day commercial agreements through to trading documentation, regulatory matters and strategic transactions. Key Responsibilities - • Provide ongoing legal advice to business teams across the company, including Regulation, Product, R&D, Marketing, HR, Finance and General & Administrative functions. • Draft and advise on terms & conditions, trading agreements and related documentation for new financial products. • Advise on financial services regulation across relevant jurisdictions (Europe, the UK, the US, Australia and others) — working with local counsel where required — as well as related areas such as privacy and data protection. • Draft, review and negotiate the full range of agreements the business requires, including: (i) documents for major cross-border transactions such as M&A, joint ventures, strategic partnerships and investment arrangements; (ii) complex commercial agreements such as financing, broker and asset purchase agreements; and (iii) day-to-day agreements covering software, services, consultancy, procurement, marketing, IT/IP and data privacy. Requirements • Qualified lawyer (LLB/JD or equivalent) admitted to practice in an EU, UK or other common-law jurisdiction, with 7–10 years' experience. • In-house experience at a fintech or financial services company, including hands-on drafting and negotiation of trading-related agreements and exposure to the legal implementation of fintech and investment products. • Significant experience drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements — including software licences, technology, marketing, services and related arrangements. • Working knowledge of EU and UK financial services regulation. • Experience independently managing complex, cross-border projects and strategic partnerships. • Native or near-native English (C2 level), with excellent drafting, negotiation and communication skills. • Commercial, analytical and detail-focused, with the ability to deliver practical solutions that support deal execution and business objectives. • Service-oriented, a strong team player, and able to perform effectively under pressure and manage multiple priorities. Advantage- • Experience with M&A, joint ventures and investment-related transactions. • Familiarity with US, Australian or other non-EU/UK financial services regimes. • Experience in another highly regulated, technology-driven industry (e.g. gaming).
