Derivatives Lawyer, In-House Legal

We’re instructed on an in‑house opportunity for a derivatives lawyer to join the treasury legal team of a large UK financial services company. This is the final hire into a newly formed team following a major restructure and offers growth and real ownership in the derivatives space as part of a broader role in a stable and growing business.

The role will involve advising on derivatives as well as wider wholesale funding work. You will be working on ISDA and collateral documentation and customer‑facing hedging. The role will include broader treasury work including covered bonds, EMTN / US MTN, RMBS and Repo. You will enjoy close, day‑to‑day interaction with the treasury and finance business teams.

To be successful in this role you must be England & Wales or equivalent qualified from a top tier UK law firm. You should have a strong derivatives background, although securitisation or wholesale funding experience would also be of interest. Any in‑house experience, such as from an investment bank legal team, would be beneficial and you should be commercially minded, confident and have good motivation for working in‑house.

You will be offered a high‑quality, steady flow of work, hybrid working and a strong and supportive culture in a purpose‑led organisation.
