We’re looking for a Legal Counsel to join GetGround’s Legal, Risk & Compliance team, giving practical, commercially minded legal and regulatory advice as we scale.

You’ll advise on commercial contracts, product questions, partnerships, regulatory matters and disputes, and work on projects that strengthen the function as the business grows. You’ll be a trusted partner to teams across GetGround and a key part of how we manage risk day to day.

The Opportunity

GetGround operates at the intersection of fintech, proptech and wealthtech. We have £2Bn+ in assets on platform, 30,000+ users across 70 countries, and a portfolio of regulated products spanning mortgages, property management, and investment tools. We are the first end-to-end real estate investment offering, making the dream of owning property accessible to everyone, globally. We're building the future of asset ownership and in doing so, helping to address wealth inequality.

As we continue to grow, our legal, risk and compliance needs are growing with us. You'll play a central role in keeping the business legally sound, moving quickly, and operating with integrity. This would be a great opportunity for a lawyer who wants to work on genuinely varied, interesting matters in a collaborative and supportive environment, with opportunities to learn and grow
