What you will do
You will work closely with our Head of Legal to provide broad legal support across the organization. This is a "generalist" role with a focus on fintech, where you will have the opportunity to grow your expertise in:
Regulatory Support: Assisting in defining Brite’s approach to evolving regulations like PSD3/PSR, the AI Act, and DORA. You’ll collaborate with Compliance and Procurement to ensure we stay ahead of the curve.
Commercial Agreements: Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements (Merchant/Partner Agreements and NDAs). You’ll help us maintain our legal templates and build out our "Contract Playbook."
Privacy & Data Protection: Supporting our internal privacy processes (DPIAs, LIAs) and providing guidance to Product and Support teams on data matters.
Operational Legal Input: Working with Marketing, Procurement, and Customer Support to develop smooth internal processes and review external communications.
Corporate & IP: Helping protect Brite’s assets, including managing domain portfolios and trademark watch activities.
Legal Tech & AI: Helping us define how we use AI within the legal function—from identifying regulatory requirements to training our internal AI assistants and legal knowledge base.
Are you a Brite Mind? We are looking for a motivated lawyer who is ready to take the next step in their career within a high-growth environment.
Experience: 3–5 years of professional legal experience. We value a diverse background and a "can-do" attitude over niche specialization in every area mentioned above.
Language: Fluency in Swedish and English is required. German is a plus.
Mindset: You have a business-focused approach and are proactive about finding solutions. You don't need to be an AI expert yet, but you should be curious about how technology is changing the legal profession.
Profile: You are eager to master a broad mandate, moving from academic knowledge to practical, hands-on impact in a structured but fast-paced FinTech.
