In-House Legal Counsel

We’re Atom… The bank that’s on a mission to make finance faster, simpler and way more human. We’ve ditched the stuffy banking model to build something that actually works for our customers, whenever and wherever they need us. To make this happen, we’re looking for like-minded people who can help us reach our goals and think differently. We really value in-person collaboration and this role requires a minimum of 2 days per week in our Newcastle HQ. What will your typical day look like? Atom bank is looking for an enthusiastic, proactive, and pragmatic Legal Counsel (0–3 years PQE) to join our close-knit in-house team. This is an exceptionally broad role offering comprehensive exposure across the bank. You will advise on everything from core commercial contracts and regulatory compliance (GDPR, Open Banking, PSD2) to corporate finance, marketing approvals, customer ops, and conveyancing queries. Because we keep day-to-day drafting in-house with limited reliance on external firms outside of major transactions, you will get stuck in from day one and learn by doing. You will be part of a supportive team that values informal coaching and mentoring, providing an environment where you can develop your skills rapidly through the broad spectrum of work you’ll be involved in. Commercial Contracts: Draft, negotiate, and advise on supplier, outsourcing, and software agreements - the bread and butter of our daily operations Cross-Departmental Advisory: Act as a trusted advisor to multiple departments on day-to-day legal issues, including conveyancing queries, product terms, and customer administration. Regulatory Guidance: Provide clear, pragmatic legal advice on financial services regulations, Open Banking, PSD2, and data protection/GDPR. Corporate
