About the Company

The hospitality industry is uniquely human, and it deserves technology that's just as inspiring as the people behind it. At Mews, we're transforming the industry with a platform that helps hotels run smarter, move faster and create better guest experiences. You'll work with smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do. You'll have autonomy and the trust to make good decisions and move quickly. And you'll enjoy a real sense of purpose as you see the impact of what we're building. If you're motivated by ownership, curiosity and meaningful impact, and are driven to deliver consistent high performance, you'll feel at home here.

About the Role

As Associate General Counsel, Product & Regulatory, you'll own how legal and regulatory judgement shows up inside Mews' product and fintech work, leading a specialist pod of counsel and paralegals and reporting to the Chief Legal Officer. Mews builds tightly integrated SaaS and fintech products, and the hard questions (money transmission, e-money, embedded finance, partner-bank and BaaS models, cross-border operating decisions) need someone who helps product teams work through them in practice, not from a distance. This is a chance to set the bar for how a scaling hospitality-fintech platform builds regulated products responsibly and at pace. You'll be embedded with Product and Engineering as a genuine product counsel and builder, surfacing and triaging legal and regulatory issues across the design and release lifecycle rather than reviewing work once it's done.

Responsibilities

  • ● Own the Product & Regulatory legal remit across Mews' SaaS and fintech environment, setting priorities, operating norms and the quality bar for legal support to Product and Engineering.
  • ● Embed with Product and Engineering as a hands-on product counsel, surfacing legal, regulatory and commercial trade-offs early and resolving them pragmatically across the release lifecycle.
  • ● Provide senior legal guidance on regulated product design, launch and scaling, including payments, embedded finance, money transmission, partner-bank and BaaS models, and cross-border propositions.
  • ● Build and manage a small specialist pod of counsel and paralegals, coaching them into strong product partners and building the playbooks, templates and working norms that let teams move faster without adding risk.
