Corporate Lawyer

What is this role about?

As a Corporate Lawyer, you will be at the heart of Bondora’s governance and legal framework, ensuring that our corporate processes, statutory obligations, and governance structures support a fast-growing, increasingly regulated business. Working closely with senior leadership, board members, and cross-functional teams, you will drive corporate governance initiatives, support regulatory interactions, and play a key role in shaping the governance framework for Bondora’s transition to a regulated banking environment.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Lead Bondora’s corporate law matters, ensuring effective legal housekeeping, governance actions, and compliance with corporate requirements.
• Advise on corporate governance matters and help build and maintain a scalable governance framework aligned with the expectations of a regulated financial institution.
• Manage corporate governance processes and documentation, including board and shareholder matters, corporate approvals, and statutory records. 
• Support regulatory filings, governance-related submissions, and interactions with regulators in collaboration with the legal team and key stakeholders.
• Play a key role in Bondora’s transition toward a regulated banking environment, helping strengthen governance structures, policies, and processes.

While the role can be performed remotely from anywhere in Europe, we expect you to spend 4–5 working days every two months at our headquarters in Tallinn, Estonia.

What would ensure success in this role?

• Master's degree in Law and qualification to practice law in the EU.
• Strong grounding in EU corporate law.
• Practical experience in corporate governance, with the ability to help build and formalize governance processes.
• Experience in regulated financial services.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, high-change, and cross-functional environment.
• Strong drafting skills, attention to detail, and process discipline.
• Excellent written and spoken English.

What can you expect at Bondora? 

• Contribute to Bondora’s ambitious goal of reaching 1BN in revenue. Your skills and efforts will directly impact our growth trajectory and shape the future of our company.
• Our employees deserve the best. We recognize our people with a competitive salary and a generous benefits package (5 weeks of vacation, private healthcare compensation, hobby grant, mental healthcare support, share options and much more!)
• We provide an environment that encourages your personal and professional growth. As we constantly evolve and innovate, you’ll have endless opportunities (and budget) to expand your skills and skyrocket your career.
