Legal Director

Legal and Compliance are partners across the whole business here at Flo. They watch over everything: Flo’s privacy programme, compliance with regulatory obligations, contract management, IP enforcement… you name it. 

The team’s divided into three groups - Privacy & Data Protection, Regulatory & Compliance, and Legal Services, each managing its own area. 

Flo’s enjoyed strong growth in the last few years having more than doubled in headcount and valuation ($340M -> circa. $800M 2020-21). As we continue to expand our products and services towards a public exit, we need to ensure that the entirety of our legal system is not only as it should be, but is set up for scalable growth.

Managing a team of 5, you’ll advise on: IP, corporate governance, commercial and corporate transactions, contract and vendor management, and labor and employment amongst others, and drive the restructure of our corporate governance procedures (currently underway).

It’s a senior role, responsible for providing strategic advice to the CLO and Board of Directors and represents a great opportunity for an experienced Legal Director to take a rapidly growing HealthTech company to IPO and beyond.
