Legal Counsel / Senior Legal Counsel

About Noah

Noah is building the financial infrastructure for the next generation of global payments.

We’re a fintech focused on making moving money across borders faster, simpler and more accessible. Our platform connects traditional banking infrastructure with stablecoins and digital finance, giving businesses a single API for account issuance, global payouts and real-time settlement.

Today, Noah operates across 70+ countries and serves 100+ clients, working with ambitious companies across fintech, payments, digital finance and beyond.

We’re operating at the intersection of some of the fastest-growing areas in financial services - stablecoins, digital payments and programmable financial infrastructure. The industry is evolving rapidly, creating huge opportunities to build something genuinely new.

We’re still early, which means there is an enormous amount to build.

We’re looking for exceptional people who want to join the rocket ship, take ownership and help shape what Noah becomes.

• Work with Compliance and external counsel on complex or specialist issues.
• Help develop legal processes, templates and playbooks as Noah scales.
• Identify practical ways to help the business move faster while managing appropriate risk.
• Help shape how the Legal function operates as the company grows.

What We're Looking For

• 3-5 years PQE, with level dependent on experience.
• Strong commercial contracting and negotiation experience.
• A mix of private practice and in-house experience is preferred.
• We’re also open to candidates who trained and qualified entirely in-house within a high-quality, reputable organisation.
• Experience within fintech, payments, financial services or technology is essential.
• Genuine interest in stablecoins, digital assets and the future of financial infrastructure.
• Strong drafting, negotiation and commercial judgement.
• Comfortable working directly with senior stakeholders.
• Able to operate independently and take ownership.
• Broad legal interests and excited by working across multiple areas rather than specialising narrowly.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

What You'll Get

• Be the 2nd Legal hire at Noah, working directly with the General Counsel.
• Significant ownership and the opportunity to help build the Legal function from the ground up.
• Direct exposure to senior leadership and strategic decisions.
• A broad role spanning commercial, product, regulatory, corporate and general legal matters.
• The opportunity to work at the intersection of fintech, payments, stablecoins and financial infrastructure.
• Exposure to an industry undergoing rapid technological and regulatory change.
• A genuinely international scope across multiple markets and jurisdictions.
• High autonomy in a company where good ideas can move quickly from concept to implementation.
• The opportunity to work alongside an ambitious team building something from the ground up.

Why Noah?

We’re not building another fintech.

We’re building the infrastructure that allows money to move more freely around the world.

Stablecoins, real-time payments and programmable financial infrastructure are changing how money moves globally and Noah is building at the centre of that transformation.

That means solving genuinely difficult problems across banking, payments, compliance, technology and regulation at incredible speed.

If you’re a commercially minded lawyer who wants to be close to the business, close to the deals and close to the decisions, this is an opportunity to have an outsized impact.
