Habito is making it easier than ever to get a mortgage, with cutting-edge technology and a straightforward service that puts customers in control. 

We’re looking for a Senior Legal Counsel to support our growth initiatives, with a focus on transactional work.

You’ll take the lead on this high-impact transactional work, working with teams across the business and building relationships to help drive the strategy and execution of these transactions. 

We’re looking for a qualified solicitor with a great grounding in a corporate or finance team at a law firm. If you have any experience working with or in a fast-paced, in-house legal team, that’s definitely a bonus. 


More about what you’ll do:

  • Be an integral member of our super collaborative, four-person legal team, contributing to knowledge-sharing and helping to train other teams.

  • Take a leading role in our equity fundraising work to support our quick growth and exciting product launches on the horizon.

  • Take a leading role alongside our lending and finance teams in the structured finance funding transactions that let us create our own innovative, customer-first mortgages and lending products.

  • Partner and collaborate with teams and stakeholders across Habito, including finance, risk & compliance, people, and data, to help support Habito projects and initiatives.

The benefits

  • Competitive salary and share options

  • Career development, coaching and training

  • Contributory pension scheme
