Deputy Head of Legal

At bunq 🌈, users trust us with their money across 30+ countries, and that trust is only worth something if the legal framework behind it is airtight, proactive, and scales as fast as we do. We're heading towards our North Star and entering new markets, that doesn't happen without someone owning the legal infrastructure behind it: the strategy, the team, the AI-first operating model, and the accountability that makes all of it run without the Head of Legal in the loop every day.

• You are a qualified lawyer with a Master's degree in Law and a strong background in financial services.

• You've independently run a compliance or legal function across multiple jurisdictions, not just supported one.

• You've had direct dialogue with regulators and know how to represent a legal position without a script.

• You've managed a small specialist legal team, set their KPIs, and held them to it.

• You can challenge senior leadership with data and translate complex regulatory risk into something a decision-maker can act on in two minutes.

• You design AI systems, not just use them, you've eliminated manual legal work at scale and built workflows others now rely on.

• You know the difference between work that's on time and work that's good, and you've built the frameworks that make that distinction measurable.

• You make judgment calls on what gets automated, what stays human, and what gets escalated, and you're right more often than not.

All new hires are subject to Pre-employment Screening (PES), which includes checks conducted by our third-party partner, Zinc. This is part of our commitment to a secure and trustworthy workplace
