• Establish lightweight, scalable workflows and playbooks (templates,ccess, clause libraries, approval matrices, negotiation checklists), reduce cycle times, and improve deal velocity without compromising risk posture.
• Partner with business leaders, Product, Compliance, and Finance to align terms with operational realities and manage external counsel efficiently when needed.

What You’ll Bring

• 3–5 years’ work experience preferably as counsel for a payments/fintech entity or the TMT practice of a law firm (or a mix).
• India‑qualified; a US degree is a plus (not mandatory).
• International‑standard drafting, negotiation, stakeholder management, risk framing, and crisp written/spoken communication suited to global counterparties.
• Practical, outcome‑oriented mindset, comfortable with fast iteration and ambiguity; able to simplify complexity for non‑lawyers.
• Nice‑to‑Haves: Hands‑on experience in regulated payments businesses; Dual certification (India & US) or meaningful exposure to US contracting/enforcement; Familiarity with card processing, merchant acquiring, and data‑center/service agreements.
