Senior Legal Counsel

Sharegain
London

About us

Sharegain began with one question: If the largest institutions solely exercise the right to lend their stocks, bonds, and ETFs, what would it take to unlock this revenue opportunity for every investor?

Our team of experts in the US, UK and Israel built the solution: a platform that empowers online brokers, private banks, and wealth managers to offer securities lending to their clients. We call it SLaaS: Securities Lending as a Service. It’s a fully digital, customizable, end-to-end solution that automates front- and back-office operations. Institutions and investors are now free to earn more from what they own.

Every Sharegainer has their own backstory, but we all share an ambition to do things differently – bigger, better, and greater. Together we’re on a mission to democratize capital markets by building a more liquid world. The more we share, the more we all gain.

  • Review and negotiate third-party contracts, including but not limited to vendor agreements and NDAs
  • Work closely with our Sales, Strategy, Operations and Product teams and provide commercial-minded legal support
  • Conduct research on legal and regulatory issues to address queries from various business stakeholders

  • Dual NY bar admission / familiarity with US laws and regulations in the financial services - preferable but not required
  • Collaborate cross-teams to ensure responsible AI practices and risk mitigation. Experience with AI vendors and infrastructures a plus.
  • Proven track record of delivering consistently on complex projects under challenging and time-critical circumstances with a sense of urgency, but with the ability to also keep broader strategic objectives in focus
