We leverage technology, data, and strategic partnerships to deliver financing solutions that significantly outperform traditional financial services, offering SMEs faster, simpler, and more transparent access to funding. As we expand across Europe, the volume and complexity of our contracting grows in parallel: platform partnerships, borrower agreements, supplier procurement, and the regulatory wrapping that holds them together. Our stack combines regulated financial infrastructure with modern software engineering. Legal sits inside that stack rather than adjacent to it. This role is where commercial contracting, product enablement, and AI-driven workflow design meet.
Build the commercial legal infrastructure that lets finmid contract at the speed its product ships. You'll be the main legal point of contact for our commercial and product teams, the operator behind every platform, borrower, and supplier contract, and the architect of the systems that make this work repeatable. You'll do this in close partnership with the General Counsel, the Head of Commercial, and product leads across Europe. You'll need intellectual range: the ability to move between regulatory text, contract drafting, workflow design, and AI tooling without losing the thread.
Commercial Contracting: Own finmid's contract stack end-to-end across platform-fac ing, borrower-facing, and supplier-facing agreements. It's quality at volume, with the reasoning legible to anyone who needs to follow it.
Translate roadmap into legal frameworks: term sheets, customer-facing T&Cs;, partner schedules,



and the contractual scaffolding that lets a feature ship without rewriting the agreement every time a parameter changes. Design contracts that flex with the product rather than constrain it.
Contract Management Infrastructure: Build the operating system for commercial legal at finmid. That means a redline review workflow that runs on AI assistance from first pass to negotiation, a clause library and playbook that update themselves as our positions evolve, automated propagation of T&C; changes across jurisdictions and languages, version control that nobody has to babysit, and an internal knowledge layer that lets the next hire onboard in days rather than months.
Procurement and Vendor Contracting: Run the negotiation of third-party supplier agreements, from cloud and data providers through to outsourced services. Hold the line on liability, IP, data, and exit terms, and make sure every vendor contract maps cleanly to the regulatory obligations it triggers downstream.
Regulatory-Embedded Contracting: Make sure our commercial paper does the work our regulators expect of it. That includes DORA-grade resilience and ICT third-party requirements, GDPR and sub-processor architecture, outsourcing rules under EU and national supervisory regimes, and vendor risk standards that survive audit. Map finmid's full contract surface end-to-end.



Take over negotiation of at least one live commercial deal and one live procurement contract. Get fluent with the AI tools the team is testing (Claude, Codex, Noxtua and the rest) so they're part of how you work, not something you're still evaluating.
Come back to the team with a 12-month view of what the commercial legal function needs to become, and a clear opinion on sequencing.
Graduate of a top-tier EU, UK, or US law school, qualified or qualifying in a relevant jurisdiction.
At least one year of experience in Big Law or in-house at a technology company, fintech, SaaS business, or financial institution. Direct exposure to commercial contract drafting and negotiation. Bonus if you've worked on finance, regulated product, or any setting where commercial contracting has had to coexist with supervisory expectation.
Working permit in Germany.
When you see a recurring contract problem, your instinct is to design a workflow that prevents it rather than to draft around it case by case.
In time, you'll develop a clear-eyed view of where current legal AI genuinely accelerates the work and where it quietly creates new failure modes.
You hold the line on legal precision while staying commercially pragmatic. You know which positions are worth fighting for and which are tax on the deal.
All the while, you maintain a high standard of quality across your outputs and are a trusted advisor to your internal counterparts.
Early commercial legal role with direct access to product, engineering, commercial, and the General Counsel across multiple European jurisdictions, with unusually broad exposure to how a regulated financial product is actually built, sold, and contracted, rather than one narrow slice of it.
