We would want you to be able to:

* provide legal support for product development and innovation, legal and regulatory change projects, rectifications and remediations, industry change initiatives, customer on-boarding and customer journeys;

* proactively identify, report and support the management of legal and governance risks, recommending solutions when needed;

* collaborate with team members and work cross-functionally to help delivery business strategy;

* manage panel law firms and build and maintain positive relationships with external lawyers;
