The posting

Who We Are

NEXT Ventures is a global fintech group operating at the intersection of financial markets and technology. Through our flagship brands — FundedNext (proprietary trading) and FNmarkets (CFD brokerage) — we serve traders and investors across Malaysia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Cyprus, and Dubai. We move fast, operate across borders, and build products that matter in competitive, regulated markets. Our legal function is a strategic partner to the business, not a bottleneck.

Your Role in Our Mission

As Senior Legal Counsel, you own the legal layer that keeps NEXT Ventures operating safely and commercially at scale. You sit at the intersection of commercial, corporate, regulatory, and technology law — advising business teams, managing external counsel, and building the frameworks that let the Group move decisively in complex, multi-jurisdictional environments. You report to the Chief Legal Officer and take matters from first assessment through to resolution.

Your Impact

  • Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of commercial contracts — service and vendor agreements, technology agreements, partnership and marketing arrangements, NDAs, and other commercial instruments
  • Provide legal support on corporate matters including group structuring and reorganisations, corporate governance, intercompany arrangements, and general corporate housekeeping
  • Handle cross-border and multi-jurisdictional legal matters across the Group's international entities and operations
  • Deliver legal and regulatory support to our fintech and financial services businesses, including licensing, regulatory interpretation, and compliance framework implementation
  • Govern technology arrangements — software licensing, technology procurement, trading platform agreements, and technology provider contracts
  • Advise on privacy, data protection, and data-sharing matters arising from our operations and commercial relationships
  • Advise on intellectual property matters: ownership, protection, and licensing of IP and technology assets
  • Support the Group's legal operations and strategic transactions — contract lifecycle management, legal process optimisation, and dispute resolution in collaboration with external counsel
  • Conduct independent legal and regulatory research across multiple jurisdictions and translate findings into clear, commercially workable recommendations
  • Liaise with external counsel, corporate service providers, regulators, and professional advisers as required
  • Serve as a trusted day-to-day legal adviser to internal stakeholders across the Group, working closely with business, compliance, and operational teams

What You Bring

  • Qualified lawyer with professional experience appropriate for a Senior Legal Counsel role
  • Proven track record drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts
  • Strong corporate law background — structuring, governance, and transactions
  • Experience navigating cross-border and multi-jurisdictional legal matters
  • Solid understanding of regulatory and compliance requirements in financial or technology sectors
  • Hands-on experience with privacy, data protection, and intellectual property matters
  • Ability to conduct independent legal research and convert complex requirements into practical business guidance
  • Strong legal drafting, negotiation, analytical, and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent written and spoken English
  • Self-directed — you take ownership of matters from start to finish and know when to escalate to the CLO
  • Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-moving, international environment
  • Commercially minded and pragmatic, with an instinct for assessing legal risk against business objectives
  • Experience with fintech, regulated financial services, financial markets, or technology-driven businesses is a strong advantage

Why Join NEXT?

You'll work on genuinely complex legal challenges across multiple jurisdictions and business lines — not routine contract reviews on repeat. You'll have real ownership, direct access to senior leadership, and the opportunity to shape how a fast-scaling fintech group manages its legal function. We move fast, we trust our people, and we build things that last.

Your Interview Journey

We keep our process straightforward and respect your time. Here's what to expect:

  • Stage 1 — Talent Screening (30 mins): A conversation with our Talent Acquisition team
  • Stage 2 — Hiring Manager Interview (60 mins): A deep-dive with the Chief Legal Officer covering your experience, technical competencies, and how you approach complex legal matters

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • 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.
