Role Description Mews is looking for a senior product counsel to serve as a trusted legal partner to Product, Engineering, Commercial and Compliance as we continue to scale our SaaS and fintech offering in the US and internationally. This is a senior, high-trust role for a lawyer who wants to operate at the centre of product development rather than at the margins. We are looking for someone who is deeply embedded with product teams, shapes strategy and execution in real time, and brings clear legal judgement to complex decisions early enough to influence outcomes. You will support both SaaS and fintech products, with a particular focus on regulated fintech environments. The right person will combine strong product instinct with sound regulatory judgement, and will be comfortable advising on complex financial products across partner-led models, cross-border propositions, regulatory change and supervisory scrutiny. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: - Partner directly with Product and Engineering teams on new products, features, launches and changes - Act as a true product counsel and product champion, helping teams spot and triage issues throughout the design and release lifecycle - Advise on product, fintech, payments and commercial legal questions across Mews’ SaaS and financial services environment - Help teams navigate legal, regulatory and commercial trade-offs early and pragmatically - Draft, review and negotiate a broad mix of commercial, product, partner and regulated-services agreements - Support licensed and regulated products across areas such as payments, embedded finance, money transmission, lending, partner bank models and cross-border expansion - Apply working knowledge of financial crime topics such as AML/BSA, KYC and KYB to product and licensing decisions - Help the business navigate regulatory audits, supervisory expectations and the realities of operating regulated products at scale - Build practical guidance, playbooks, templates and ways of working that help teams move faster without creating unnecessary risk Qualifications - Significant in-house legal experience in technology, SaaS, fintech or another fast-moving, multi-geography environment - Strong evidence of working closely with product teams rather than reviewing work at the end of the process - Fintech and regulatory exposure, ideally in payments, embedded finance, e-money or another licensed setting - Familiarity with licensing structures such as EMI licences in Europe, US MTL frameworks, BaaS models and partner bank relationships - Working knowledge of AML/BSA, KYC, KYB and broader fintech regulatory issues such as money transmission and lending - Strong commercial judgement and a track record of balancing legal risk with business outcomes - A practical, hands-on builder mentality with examples of what you’ve improved, created or operationalised yourself - Comfort operating in ambiguity and helping teams move quickly with good judgement - Strong stakeholder skills and credibility with senior leaders, while still being happy to work at operating-detail level Requirements - Location A = USA - To be eligible for this position, you must be based in one of the following US states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin. Benefits - Unlimited paid holiday (yes, really) - Participation in our company share program - Paid parental leave (6 months fully paid for primary caregivers, 2 months for secondary, available after one year of service) - An annual Learning budget of €300 (and more for high performers) to support your development - Monthly "EDGE" time to Explore, Develop, Grow, and Elevate yourself - A work from anywhere policy with flexibility to work abroad for a few weeks each year - Relocation options, available after one year - Flexible, hybrid working options - A home office setup budget to make your workspace your own and a monthly work-from-home allowance - Claude tokens, so you can automate workflows and build smarter, more efficient ways of working - Additional local benefits that vary by location, from healthcare and retirement plans to team events, socials and other perks.
