About the role

Looking for a legal role that has massive impact, with oversight of key business decisions and pivotal outcomes? This is it.

Since launching Nmbr, our business and vision have grown. Today, we are moving to rapidly expand our footprint, developing the most comprehensive and accessible payroll infrastructure in the world. That ambition is strewn with legal and regulatory hurdles.

At home in Canada we have constant contract negotiations with sophisticated enterprise counterparties. You’ll lead these. We are also subject to a shifting regulatory landscape, as a registered MSB with FINTRAC and Revenue Quebec. You’ll manage that.

This position will also play a crucial role in leading the development of our international strategy and operations. You’ll map our path to building a global footprint from a legal and regulatory perspective, leading investigation into new markets, and then establishing and executing a strategy to efficiently build operations across the globe.

You will be responsible for overseeing all legal and compliance matters at Nmbr, including but not limited to:

Regulatory Compliance:

• Overseeing compliance with FINTRAC and MSB regulations, including licensing, reporting, and record-keeping requirements.
• Monitoring and adapting to evolving regulatory landscapes in Canada and internationally.
• Conducting regular risk assessments and implementing effective compliance programs.
• Collaborating with internal teams to ensure compliance with data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA).

Contract Management:

• Managing the negotiation and execution of complex commercial contracts, including software licensing agreements, service agreements, and vendor contracts.
• Providing legal counsel on contract terms, risk mitigation, and dispute resolution.
• Developing and implementing standardized contract templates and processes.

International Expansion:

• Conducting in-depth legal and regulatory due diligence for international expansion initiatives.
• Identifying and assessing legal and regulatory risks associated with new markets.
• Developing strategies to establish and maintain legal and regulatory compliance in various jurisdictions.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth international operations.

Corporate Governance:

• Advising on corporate governance matters, including board meetings, shareholder resolutions, and corporate actions.
• Developing and maintaining corporate policies and procedures.
• Managing corporate secretarial functions.

Qualifications and Experience:

• JD degree from a reputable law school.
• 10+ years of legal experience, with a focus on corporate law, commercial contracts, and regulatory compliance.
• In-depth knowledge of banking or payments regulations.
• Experience in international law and cross-border transactions.
• Strong understanding of data privacy laws and regulations.
• Excellent negotiation and communication skills.
