About Us

YouLend is the preferred global embedded financing platform for many of the world’s leading e-commerce sites, tech companies and payment services providers such as Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Stripe, Deliveroo and Etsy. Our software platform and APIs enable our partners to offer flexible financing products, in their desired branding, to their SME merchant base.

We believe that the future of financial services will be delivered by customer-oriented tech companies that embed financing in their customer journeys, and we are building the solutions that will power that future.

We are seeking a top-performing, smart and motivated individual to join our legal team in London. You will work with the legal team and the wider company to deliver growth against ambitious targets (>doubling each year) and support YouLend’s business in the UK, Europe and US.

If you are a qualified attorney, have 3-5 years of PQE with experience in debt capital markets, financing, M&A, financial regulatory and/or fintech practices at a top law firm in the UK (or another Commonwealth jurisdiction) or EU, and are looking for an opportunity to leverage your experience in an in-house setting while expanding the breadth of your practice, this could be a great opportunity for you. The role will require you to manage our existing and new capital mandates, but is also highly varied and will require you to advise our business across a wide range of practice areas (including product, tech, commercial negotiation, regulatory, and capital markets) and geographies.
