Legal Operations Manager

BVNK is the stablecoin-powered financial stack for enterprises. We're now part of Mastercard, and together we're building a network for every form of money – one that delivers more reach, more capability and more choice.

We enable businesses to build financial products, unlock new markets, and move money in seconds across 130+ countries, with 40+ licenses for fiat and digital assets globally.

Trusted by industry leaders like Corpay, Worldpay, Deel, and Flywire, we deliver the infrastructure that makes new forms of money usable within the financial systems customers already rely on today.

By combining Mastercard's global payment reach and trusted networks with BVNK's stablecoin infrastructure, we're building the trusted operating layer for the evolution of money movement, helping customers participate in emerging digital networks without having to rebuild their businesses around every new innovation.

You’ll be hands-on with legal tooling, processes, and reporting, while also collaborating with our product, engineering, and data teams to scale legal infrastructure. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of legal, technology, and operations in a fast-growing global fintech.

• Tooling & Workflow Development: Build, configure, and maintain day-to-day tools (e.g., LawVu, Salesforce, Jira, Slack) and workflows to support legal operations. Partner with engineers and product teams to design scalable systems.
• Contract Management: Own the end-to-end lifecycle of contracts, including templates, versioning, automation, alerts, and integration with other business systems.
• Data & Reporting: Create dashboards, track legal KPIs, and maintain legal data integrity across platforms. Use insights to drive team efficiency and prioritisation. 
• Vendor & Spend Management: Manage external counsel relationships, track legal spend, oversee invoice processing, and support budgeting and forecasting.
• Project Management: Lead key legal initiatives, such as licensing applications and operationalisations, tool integrations, audits, and regulatory readiness. Own timelines, risks, and delivery outcomes.
• Privacy & Compliance Support: Collaborate with the DPO to operationalise data protection processes and support regulatory compliance.
• AI & Automation: Identify and implement AI or automation opportunities (e.g., contract analysis, workflow routing, doc generation) to reduce manual effort.
• Training & Enablement: Train legal and business teams on tooling and processes; promote self-service and adoption of scalable systems.

• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to influence and partner across legal, engineering, product, and commercial teams.
