As Head of Legal at Whizz, you’ll be setting up and leading our legal function from the ground up. You’ll play a key role in helping us grow responsibly by making sure we stay compliant, minimize legal risks, and have the right contracts and protections in place as we scale.

Responsibilities:
  • Provide day-to-day legal support, draft and review contracts, and advise leadership on legal and regulatory matters.
  • Draft, review, and strengthen contracts and customer terms to protect the company’s interests, reduce payment disputes, and support effective debt and property recovery.
  • Support new product launches and expansion into new markets, ensuring compliance with local requirements.
  • Lead debt recovery efforts: from demand letters and payment negotiations to filing lawsuits against non-paying customers.
  • Handle litigation and commercial disputes, prepare court documents, and represent the company where authorized or work with external counsel.
  • Pursue enforcement of judgments and settlements to recover outstanding debts and company property.
  • Handle communications with law enforcement and regulatory authorities, including matters involving suspected fraud, theft, or unreturned property.
  • Work with finance and operations to prioritize cases, organize evidence, and track legal costs and recovery results.
Required Qualifications:
  • Proven experience in a senior legal role in startup or high-growth company with strong project management skills.
  • Strong ability to independently analyze legal matters, conduct thorough research on applicable laws, and deliver clear, practical advice — even in unfamiliar legal areas.
  • A proactive and resourceful mindset — you’re not afraid to pick up the phone, chase down answers, push for clarity, or escalate when needed. You know how to get things done.
  • Excellent skills in locating, analyzing, and interpreting legal and regulatory materials — both through public databases and via direct communication with regulatory bodies.
Benefits:
  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Remote work flexibility.
  • Opportunity to build and lead the legal function of a fast-growing startup.
  • Collaborative and innovative work environment.
