FTMO recently acquired OANDA Group, one of the world’s leading online trading groups. As part of our team, you'll work within the FTMO x OANDA Legal Team. We are looking for a proactive, hands-on legal professional who takes true ownership, actively manages legal risks, and drives corporate governance excellence across our retail brokerage.

In this role, you will shape our day-to-day legal landscape, collaborating with commercial and compliance teams to negotiate business agreements - from NDAs to global commercial partnerships - that drive impact and ensure compliance on a global scale.

In this role, you will:
  • Manage day-to-day legal matters arising from our global presence in various jurisdictions, including matters relating to corporate governance.

  • Advise on and negotiate a wide range of commercial arrangements relating to our global business.

  • Anticipate, identify and escalate legal issues of concern.

  • Play a supporting role within the Legal Department in connection with all legal matters, including relating to employment, intellectual property, privacy, cybersecurity, compliance-related issues and any and all other legal issues that may arise globally.

  • Support the delivery of strategic projects for the Legal Department.

  • Contribute to team development, scaling, efficiency and improvement.

 
What skillset do you need to be successful in this role?
  • Min. 2 years of hands-on experience with a law firm or as in-house counsel, but impact matters more than years.

  • Strong foundation in corporate governance.

  • Bar membership (not necessarily in the Czech Republic) in good standing, or currently in pursuit of an apprenticeship/qualification towards it.

  • Ability to manage complexity - making sense of high-quantity or contradictory information to solve problems.

  • Planning and organizational skills, with a strong ability to prioritize tasks and deliver high-quality results on time.

  • Strategic thinking with a detail-oriented approach to execution, compliance, and proactive risk management.

 
Nice to have:
  • Working experience in FinTech, the FX/trading sector, derivatives, payment services, or cryptocurrency from a commercial and legal perspective.

  • Regulatory experience within the global financial services industry.

Why join the FTMO team?
  • We are a Czech fintech that, since 2015, has grown from an idea into a global project. 🚀

  • 300+ amazing teammates. We’re a great team who learn from each other every day.🤜🤛

  • How do we work? We focus on meaningful work and open communication, while only adopting processes that make our lives easier.

  • Prague, Národní třída. Enjoy our modern offices at the Quadrio shopping center, offering beautiful views and excellent accessibility.

  • What if I don’t trade? No worries. We’ll show you what our product is all about and introduce you to the basics of trading.

  • Free fruit, snacks, and coffee are always within reach in the office.

  • How do we promote strong relationships and well-being? Company cottage, team building events, and running club.

  • Flexible hybrid model. We prefer collaborating in person to keep the team spirit high, but we offer the flexibility you need to stay balanced.

*The benefits mentioned above apply to FTMO on-site employees in our Prague office.
