Are you ready to unleash your potential in a dynamic organization that is poised to evolve into the next phase of its 171 year history? Join Western Union as a Counsel, Business Legal Affairs.

**Motivated by our values: purpose driven, globally minded, and trustworthy & respectful**

We’re a FinTech that’s using insight from customers and colleagues worldwide to improve financial services for families, small businesses, multinational corporations, and non-profit organizations. We’re a team of over 8,000 people spanning 200 countries and territories. We believe when money moves, better things happen.

**Better requires process discipline and simplification**

As a qualified attorney with extensive experience in the financial services industry, you’ll play a key role in providing world-class legal advice and oversight for all business units and shared services in the region to deliver the company’s strategic priorities. Holding a senior position as part of the APAC & Middle East Legal Team, you’ll be assigned primary responsibility for a number of countries and will be expected to provide timely and commercial legal and regulatory support for BAU operations and new initiatives as well as partnering with business leaders to help shape the strategic direction of the company.

Your work will include reviewing, drafting and negotiating agreements for Western Union Consumer Money Transfer, Payments and Digital in coordination with other lawyers, business leaders and internal stakeholders. You will provide legal advice to business partners within the organization and coordinate with outside counsel. Superior skills in researching, analyzing and monitoring new and existing laws are key. You will be expected to stay current and advise business and senior leadership on changes to regulatory environments in your applicable jurisdictions of responsibility. You will review and advise on new and existing business requirements, drive end-to-end customer value, and display a customer-first orientation. You are no stranger to working cross-functionally and to liaising with regulators.

Financial services experience in an international law firm or corporate legal department of a multi-national corporation is essential (minimum 8-10 years PQE). Mandarin skills will be viewed favourably (but not essential). You must have strong communication skills, written and verbal, with a demonstrated ability to tailor communications for different audiences (internal and external stakeholders/partners/customers) and to build strong networks and client relationships.

If you are curious, self-motivated, adaptable and have a natural affinity to problem solving, this could be the job and the team for you
