Founded by seasoned experts from the payments and tech industries, our technology provides access to leading payment capabilities, enabling companies to engage customers confidently and maintain global operations through seamless integrations.

We empower high-performing teams at brands like InDrive, McDonald’s, Rappi, and Viva Aerobus to integrate 1,000+ payment methods through a single API. By leveraging advanced AI and the latest technologies, we orchestrate smart routing and fraud prevention across 80+ countries.

 

About The Role

We are looking for a commercially minded lawyer to join our global Legal and Compliance team as Legal Business Partner for EMEA.

  • Contract negotiation and drafting: Negotiate and draft merchant, partner, and vendor agreements across the region, applying and helping improve our global contracting playbooks.

  • Regulatory support: Advise the business on payments regulation and data protection across the region, in coordination with the global Legal and Compliance team, and help maintain Yuno’s positioning as a technology orchestration layer that does not hold funds.

  • Corporate and entity support: Support the corporate maintenance of Yuno’s entities in the region, working with the global team, outside counsel, and corporate service providers.

  • Growth and expansion: Provide legal guidance on new markets, new products, and strategic partnerships as Yuno continues to grow across the region.
