Job description

About us

Traditional banking has never really given you control over your financial life. Satispay exists to change that: to empower people through finance .

That means making financial services easy and accessible for over 6.5M users. We started with payments, then benefits, investing, cards... and we’re not done. Not even close. We follow the same logic every time: find a real problem, solve it properly, then look for the next one. The destination? To build the most loved financial platform in the world.

If you own outcomes rather than tasks, stay close to what users need, and refuse to wait for someone else to fix what's broken — you'll find people here who work exactly in the same way. And together, you'll build something worth being proud of.

What you'll be doing

As our Legal Counsel (Transactional), you'll independently own the drafting, negotiation, and strategic legal alignment of key commercial agreements across all our business lines.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• Commercial Agreements & Strategic Partnerships – Drafting and negotiating complex B2B agreements across Satispay’s business lines, including employer and merchant agreements for corporate welfare and payment services. You will also structure and manage strategic partnerships from deal inception to execution.
• Technology, Procurement & Operations – Advising on and negotiating SaaS, technology, procurement, and supplier contracts that keep Satispay running smoothly.
• Corporate Welfare Tenders – Partnering with the Tender Manager on legal aspects of procurement processes (gare d'appalto), including reviewing and negotiating contracts and tender documentation.
• Marketing & Advertising – Advising on, drafting, and negotiating agreements for marketing campaigns, advertising, co-branding initiatives, and creative/media agency relationships.
• Legal Operations & AI Innovation – Leading the improvement of contract templates, legal processes, and negotiation automation in partnership with our AI Team.

Who we're looking for

This role needs someone commercially minded, highly structured, and equipped with strong transactional expertise to drive key commercial agreements.

• Legal Background – You hold a degree in law and have at least 8 years of relevant experience in commercial law, complex B2B contracts, and transactional matters across law firms and in-house teams. Qualification as a lawyer is a plus.
• Sector Experience – Exposure to fast-growing, tech-driven businesses, fintech, or corporate welfare is a strong plus.
• Ownership & Commercial Judgment – You can manage multiple transactions autonomously, prioritise effectively, and balance legal risk against business growth.
• Negotiation Skills – Confident in high-pressure situations, able to challenge counterparties constructively and deliver pragmatic commercial solutions.
• Business Partnering & Communication – Skilled at communicating clearly, influencing stakeholders, and making complex legal topics simple and actionable.
• Digital & AI Mindset – Enthusiastic about using and improving digital and AI-enabled legal tools to optimise processes and knowledge sharing.
• Languages – Fluent in English and Italian.

Don\'t worry if you don't tick every box. We believe in the power of different viewpoints and strengths. Your unique perspective is important as we build something special: if you\'re passionate and can make a difference, we truly encourage you to apply.
