Legal and Compliance Director / Senior Director

We're looking for a Legal and Compliance Director / Senior Director to own and build our legal, regulatory and compliance function as GetGround scales its regulated financial services and property investment platform. With ambitious plans to grow into new markets, this is a role for a highly commercial lawyer who has operated at a senior level, built or led a legal and compliance function, and is ready to help further shape the whole thing.

You'll shape how a fast-growing business that operates at the intersection of fintech, proptech and wealthtech, manages risk, meets its regulatory obligations, and earns the trust of customers, regulators, and partners, including as we look beyond our current markets.

This role reports directly to the COO.

THE OPPORTUNITY

GetGround has grown significantly since we last hired in this function. We now 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. Our ambition is to keep growing, including into new geographies, and our legal and regulatory function needs to be ready for that.

You'll be shaping the function, not just running it. That means continuing to set the strategy, build frameworks that can scale into new markets, support the team, and being the person the business turns to when the stakes are high.

You’ll champion the use of AI and legal technology tools across the function, from contract review and regulatory research to compliance monitoring to make us a faster, more scalable team
