Job description

About the role

Honeycoin is hiring a mid-level Legal & Compliance Associate to own document review and regulatory work for our Cameroon business. You will review and negotiate NDAs, commercial contracts and regulatory documents in French and English, and turn them around fast enough that deals and licence applications never wait on legal.

Honeycoin is a cross-border payments and stablecoin company operating across Africa and beyond. This role is dedicated to Cameroon, where contracts, regulator correspondence and partner negotiations happen in both French and English.

Level: Mid-level (roughly 3–6 years' experience)

Team: Legal, Licensing & Market Expansion

Location: Douala, Cameroon. Some travel

Languages: French and English, both at professional written and spoken level

What we need

• A law degree; admission to the bar or an equivalent professional qualification is welcome but not required.

• Roughly 3–6 years reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts, in a law firm, in-house or in a compliance function.

• Excellent French and English, written and spoken. You can redline a contract, write to a regulator and run a negotiation call in either language.

• Sound commercial judgement: you separate real risk from noise and say which points are worth fighting for.

• Clear, short writing. You can summarise a 40-page agreement in five lines a non-lawyer can act on.

• Working knowledge of Cameroonian law, across both its civil-law and common-law systems.

What we filter for

This matters more to us than where you trained or which sector you come from. We hire for high agency and self-drive, and we look for evidence of it.

• You own outcomes, not tasks. "I sent the email" is not done; the signed contract or the lodged application is done.

• You move without being chased. You set your own deadlines, report status before anyone asks, and name blockers and who is causing them.

• You find a way. When a regulator goes quiet or counsel is slow, you call, escalate, visit or find another route.

• You learn fast. You have taken on an area of law or a market you did not know and become useful in it within weeks.

• You are reliable. People trust your review enough to sign on it.

In your application, show us: something you started without being asked, a problem you solved that was not your job, or a result you delivered with little guidance. Be specific about what you did and what changed.

A big plus

• Experience in fintech, payments, mobile money, banking or digital assets.

• Hands-on work with payment or e-money licensing, or direct dealings with BEAC, COBAC or the Ministry of Finance.

• Knowledge of OHADA company and commercial law.

• Experience with AML/CFT, data protection or sanctions compliance.

• Experience managing external counsel.

Contracts and document review

• Review, redline and negotiate NDAs, partner and vendor agreements, banking and payment-provider contracts, and service agreements, in French and English.

• Draft from our templates and improve them: build a bilingual playbook of standard positions, fallback clauses and red lines.

• Translate legal and regulatory documents between French and English accurately enough to sign or submit.

• Give the business a clear answer on each document: sign, sign with these changes, or do not sign, and why.

Regulatory and compliance

• Prepare and review licence applications, regulator correspondence and responses to information requests in Cameroon and the CEMAC zone (for example BEAC, COBAC and the Ministry of Finance).

• Track regulatory change in Cameroon and the CEMAC zone and flag what it means for our products and licences.

• Review AML/CFT policies, KYC procedures and compliance documents for local fit, and keep them current.

• Manage company secretarial work for our Cameroon entity: incorporation documents, filings, board resolutions and statutory registers.

Working with others

• Manage external counsel in Cameroon: scope the work, check the output, control the cost.

• Support the Cameroon country manager, partnerships and operations with fast, practical legal input.

• Keep a live tracker of every document and filing you own, with status, blocker and next date.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
