We are looking for a Legal Counsel - Spain to join our Barcelona office and become the legal subject matter expert for our Spanish operations.

Reporting directly to the Chief Compliance & Regulatory Affairs Director, you will provide practical legal advice across a wide range of commercial, corporate and operational matters affecting the Group's Spanish related business. Working closely with colleagues across Legal, Compliance and the wider business, you will help ensure our operations remain legally compliant while supporting commercial growth in one of our key regulated markets.

This role is primarily focused on legal matters, with regular exposure to the regulatory environment in Spain. While previous experience within the Spanish online gambling sector is not essential, an understanding of highly regulated industries and the ability to work with regulatory bodies will be valued.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys working autonomously, partnering with stakeholders across the business and becoming the trusted legal advisor for the Spanish market.

• Support corporate governance matters relating to the Group's Spanish entities.

• Assist with strategic legal projects, including corporate restructurings, business initiatives and, where applicable, acquisitions or integrations.

• Manage relationships with external legal advisors where specialist advice is required, helping reduce reliance on external counsel wherever possible.

Regulatory Support

• Work closely with the Chief Compliance & Regulatory Affairs Officer on legal and regulatory matters affecting the Spanish market.

• Monitor legislative and regulatory developments and assess their impact on the business.

• Liaise with regulatory authorities and external stakeholders where appropriate.

• Assist with regulatory submissions, legal documentation and official communications as required.

• Collaborate with the Compliance team to ensure legal advice supports the Group's regulatory obligations.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with Commercial, Product, Marketing, Operations, Finance and People teams to provide practical legal guidance.

• Build strong relationships with stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of legal processes, contract management and governance frameworks.

• Support wider Group legal initiatives when required.

Who are you?

• Qualified lawyer with a Law Degree and admission to a Spanish Bar Association.

• Proven experience in commercial, corporate or in-house legal practice.

• Strong experience drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts.

• Excellent understanding of Spanish commercial and corporate law.

• Experience working within a highly regulated industry such as iGaming, fintech, banking, financial services, insurance, telecommunications or another regulated sector.

• Experience engaging with regulatory authorities or supervisory bodies is highly desirable.

• Previous exposure to the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) or the Spanish online gambling regulatory framework would be considered a strong advantage.

• Exposure to corporate transactions, M&A or corporate restructuring projects would be advantageous.

• Commercially minded with the ability to balance legal risk with business objectives.

• Excellent communication skills in both Spanish and English, written and spoken.

• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities independently.

What we offer?

• The opportunity to play a key role within a growing international gaming group.

• Exposure to both local Spanish regulatory matters and wider international legal projects.

• A collaborative and supportive working environment.

• Competitive salary and benefits package.

• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
