Regulatory Counsel, High-Risk

Finix is building the global operating system for fintech, starting with payments. From startups to publicly traded companies, Finix processes tens of billions of dollars annually both in-store and online. Finix was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in San Francisco.

 

To date Finix has raised over $200M, including a $75M Series C led by Acrew Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners and backed by American Express Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, Homebrew, Inspired Capital, Visa, and others

Finix is hiring a Regulatory Counsel to serve as the legal and regulatory partner to our Product and Sales teams as we build and launch payment products in new and emerging markets. This role will report to our Head of Legal and will work side by side with Product, Sales, Partnerships, and Compliance to get new products, features, and customer segments to market quickly and with a growth mindset, while always staying within applicable law, card network rules, and sponsor bank requirements.

A key early focus will be gaming and gambling, including iGaming, sports wagering, sweepstakes, and prediction markets, where the regulatory landscape is moving fast and our customers need a partner who can keep pace. Deep gaming experience is valuable but not required; we are equally interested in strong regulatory lawyers from payments, fintech, banking, or other highly regulated industries who are eager to learn a new sector. You will analyze the laws that apply to what we build and who we serve, shape product requirements and go-to-market plans from the start, and give business teams clear, timely answers on what we can do, under what conditions, and what we can't. This role supports both the U.S. and Canada footprint
