Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland Wolt Full time
About Wolt

At Wolt, we create technology that brings joy, simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the world. In 2014 we started with delivery of restaurant food. Now we're building the delivery of (almost) everything and you'll find us in over 500 cities in 30 countries around the world. In 2022 we joined forces with DoorDash and together we keep on dreaming big and expanding across the globe.

Working at Wolt isn't always easy, but it's definitely exciting. Here you'll learn more, build more, and ship more than in most other companies. You'll be challenged a lot, but also have a lot of fun on the way. So, if you're a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, this could be the ride of your life.

Are you a legal professional with a passion to be a part of building something new and with a background or strong interest in the banking, payments and/or fintech industry? Does working in a very global and fast-paced environment sound like something you'd get a kick out of? If so, then we'd love to have a chat

Role background

We are now looking to strengthen our Legal team with a Legal Counsel to focus on working on Wolt's payments compliance and payments related regulations and products across all of our 25+ countries. If a key role in the crossroads of legal, Fintech, finance and compliance sounds interesting to you, this may be your time to join our rocket ship and use your skills in building and supporting Wolt's compliance in this key area. In addition to payments and payouts related compliance and legal questions, you would support product, tech and finance teams with financial crime prevention related matters.

We're looking for someone who has the ability to tackle a number of complex compliance issues, but also someone who understands the Wolt way of doing things; a problem-solver with an entrepreneurial mindset, a self-starting business-driver. Our ideal candidate is someone who is curious and eager to learn and wants to be part of creating something new. They are flexible, dynamic and proactively get things done. We also appreciate quick thinking and a can-do attitude of rolling up one's sleeves and getting to work, no matter the task. We expect you to already have some work experience from working in an international setting on payments or other relevant areas.

We're primarily looking for the person to join our team at our offices in Helsinki, however other key Wolt locations are also possible if our dream candidate is based elsewhere.

What you'll be doing
  • Expertise: You will be working with legal matters in regards to Wolt's payments compliance in all of our markets and be a discussion partner for our Fintech and finance people building together financial crime prevention related new processes and solutions that meet applicable legal requirements. You would also support Wolt's anti-money laundering and sanctions related compliance and legal matters across our countries together with experienced team members.
  • Risk management and mitigation: When supporting the business, you will need to be weighing and clearly communicating risks and payoffs in a number of scenarios as well as finding solutions.
  • Regulatory landscape: You will be an expert in the regulatory landscape for payments and other relevant compliance topics, and will participate in and impact regulatory developments in the area. You will also support the team with any ad hoc compliance matters that arise.
Our humble expectations
  • 3-5 years of legal experience as an in-house counsel e.g. in a bank or financial institution and/or from a law firm in an international setting.
  • Master of Laws degree from a reputable university in the EU. An additional LL.M. degree from the US or another country is a plus, but not a requirement.
  • Experience in working in close cooperation with internal and external teams and ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Our ideal candidate has a deeper knowledge in some legal fields relevant to our business and the role, e.g. payments, anti-money laundering, financial crime prevention, general contract law, or some regulatory questions.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
  • The type of person who rolls up their sleeves and gets to work.
  • Fluency in English.
  • Willingness to travel.
