Senior Legal Consultant

About the company

the company is the AI platform powering global debt markets — the world’s largest asset class at over $145 trillion.

Debt markets are vast, global, and mission-critical, yet still run on fragmented data, PDFs, and manual workflows. the company replaces this broken infrastructure with a single platform that centralises proprietary credit data, deep analysis, and high-value workflows across global markets.

Today, the company powers teams at 300+ blue-chip institutions worldwide, including global banks, asset managers, private equity firms, law firms, and advisors. The business is scaling at exceptional speed, with rapid expansion in the US and best-in-class retention driven by deep workflow adoption.

We’re at a defining inflection point. With proven product-market fit and strong, global market pull, the company is accelerating toward becoming the category-defining platform for debt markets worldwide.

• Working with the company’s engineering and product teams to develop new legal and covenant product features
• Delivering seminars, teach-ins and podcast segments as a subject matter expert in leveraged finance covenants
