As a global marketplace operating across the EU, US and beyond, we navigate an evolving regulatory landscape covering platforms, payments, tax, consumer protection and data. We're looking for a Head of Legal to lead our in-house legal team and shape how it grows. This is a leadership role: we're looking for someone who can manage and develop people while navigating multiple areas of law, rather than specializing in a single field. You will be the company's senior legal advisor, reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with our Finance, Product, Payments and Trust & Safety teams. You'll own legal risk end to end, shape how our marketplace model is structured, and decide what we handle in-house and what goes to external counsel. Ready to take the lead? We'd love to hear from you.
