We’re reinventing payments.
In less than four years, Dojo disrupted the market to become the largest and most loved acquirer in the UK. Our payments infrastructure, purpose-built for in-person commerce, is game changing.
Now, over 150,000 customers across four countries choose to transact billions with us every year.
But we’re just getting started.
Our people are the driving force behind our success. They are our greatest investment and our ultimate competitive advantage. We hire exceptional people and give them the autonomy, trust, and ownership to thrive. The results take care of themselves.

Undertake research and analysis of legal issues raised by the business.
Support the Legal team with ad-hoc projects arising from new products, regulatory change and market expansion.
What you will bring...
European-qualified lawyer (3-5 PQE) with experience in the commercial contracts, corporate and financial services work, ideally gained in private practice
In-house secondment experience would be an advantage, but not essential.
An interest in working within an e-money and payments business, ideally with some exposure to merchant acquiring or regulated services

Dojo home and away
We believe our best work happens when we collaborate in-person. These “together days” foster communication, drive innovation and spark our brightest ideas.
That's why we have an office-first culture. This means working from the office 4+ days per week.
With offices across Europe, we know a thing or two about staying dynamic. Need deep focus? Head to a quiet zone. Big ideas? Collaboration spaces have you covered. Just here for a catch-up? Our social hubs make it easy. Do work that counts, in spaces made for you.
