Sambla Group is a fintech company with a clear goal – to make loans better for all. We need you, your ambition and your skills on our journey. We have become the fast-growing fintech company that we are today - bridging the gap between borrowers and lenders - thanks to all the 300+ amazing people who work here.

Our success is the result of the commitment to deliver the best customer journey and consumer finance products in the industry. Our vision is to democratize lending and empower customers to improve their personal finances. Through our well known brands such as Sambla, Advisa, Rahalaitos, Omalaina, Rahoitu and DigiFinans we support customers in consolidating and getting the best terms on their loans.

You will join Sambla Group as the only Finland-based lawyer, which means that you will assume an overall responsibility for supporting Sambla Group’s Finnish operations in a variety of legal matters. In addition, you get to participate in group-wide legal projects.

In your day-to-day, you will support the Finnish business in product development and other product related matters from a financial regulatory compliance perspective, advise the business in consumer marketing topics, and support in related authority communications. You will also draft and negotiate partner agreements as well as advise in typical inhouse legal counsel tasks, e.g. regarding corporate governance, labor law, GDPR and compliance. In addition, you will monitor regulatory changes and market practices, train your colleagues on legal topics, and create structure by building and implementing standardized group-wide legal processes.

You will join Sambla Group’s agile Legal & Compliance team and work closely with the Finnish management and product team members. You will report to and work in close co-operation with Sambla Group’s Head of Compliance & Legal based in Stockholm, and you also have a Sweden-based privacy lawyer as your colleague. Occasional and pre-planned travel mainly within the Nordics may be required.

We are looking for a lawyer with:

• A legal master’s degree preferably from a Finnish university
• At least three years of post-graduate experience within financial regulatory compliance field, either from an inhouse legal position or from a law firm/legal consultancy role; experience in specifically credit regulation is an advantage
• A desire to develop as a generalist legal counsel – existing background in consumer marketing, labor law, corporate governance, GDPR, anti-money laundering practices and/or contract law is appreciated
• An adaptive attitude, no hesitation to roll up their sleeves and come up with pragmatic solutions, as well as strong capabilities in building processes and standardized ways of working and in arranging legal trainings
• The ability to work independently and take responsibility and ownership
• Fluent language skills in Finnish and English

Sambla Group offers you:

• A fast-paced work environment in a rapidly moving company on a mission to deliver the best customer journey and consumer products within loan intermediation;
• A significant and versatile legal role as the only Finland-based legal expert at Sambla Group, shaping the way legal operations are arranged in the Finnish operations;
• A team of passionate and ambitious colleagues in the Nordics who believe in delivering results together and celebrating achievements; and
