Job Description

We're looking for a commercially-minded Legal Counsel to join our team and support our business units across our global gaming operations. This is a hands-on role where you'll be a go-to legal advisor for commercial deals, mobile monetisation strategies, and IP protection - working at pace in a fast-growing environment where perfect information is a luxury and smart judgment calls are essential.
