If you’re a challenger in spirit and a champion in action — join us.
Why this role exists:
We are looking for a C-level leader who can set the strategic vision, build the frameworks for scale, and be a genuine business partner to the leadership team. The CLO will own the full legal and regulatory agenda: from licensing strategy and corporate structure to M&A, IP, and compliance. You will act as GR8 Tech's primary legal interface with the managing company and other group assets. This is an opportunity to build a legal function designed for the next phase of an ambitious, fast-moving international business.
What you’ll drive:
Strategy & Leadership
Define and execute the legal function's multi-year strategy, aligned to company growth and expansion goals.
Serve as the primary legal advisor to the board.
Build a high-performing legal team — set clear KPIs and metrics, develop talent, and create a culture of accountability and excellence.
Represent GR8 Tech's legal interests at the group level.
Corporate Structure & M&A
Drive the evolution of corporate structure — optimising for regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and strategic flexibility.
Lead or support M&A activity: due diligence, structuring, negotiation, and integration from a legal perspective.
Manage group-level legal entities, intercompany arrangements, and cross-border legal risk.
Commercial, Contracts & IP
Oversee contract management across the business — drive standardisation, automation, and reduction of cycle times without sacrificing quality.
Protect and develop the company's intellectual property portfolio: trademarks, licensing agreements, technology rights.
Provide pragmatic legal support to commercial teams, balancing risk management with speed of execution.
Regulatory & Licensing
Own the company's global licensing strategy — identify opportunities, manage applications, and maintain existing licences across multiple regulated jurisdictions.
Monitor regulatory developments across target markets; translate risk and opportunity into clear, actionable positions.
Lead the company's relationship with regulators, ensuring GR8 Tech is seen as a credible and cooperative regulated entity.
Compliance, AML & Risk
Establish and maintain a comprehensive legal risk dashboard — identify, manage, and mitigate key risks across the business.
Own KYC/KYB processes from a legal and regulatory standpoint; lead improvements for efficiency and compliance quality.
Drive AML, data protection, and responsible gambling compliance frameworks in line with applicable law and best practice.
Operational Efficiency & Innovation
Lead the adoption of legal technology and AI tools to automate routine work and increase the function's overall output and quality.
Build a legal function metrics framework — measuring what matters and demonstrating value to the business.
Optimise external legal spend: manage relationships with outside counsel, ensure cost-efficiency, and reduce dependency on external providers over time.
