Corporate Secretary & Legal Counsel

About the role

Lorum, a clearing and treasury platform founded in 2023, is hiring a Corporate Secretary & Legal Counsel to own corporate governance, GDPR privacy and DORA compliance across the Lorum Group. Based in Liechtenstein, the role works directly with the boards, senior management and teams across international operations. It is a new role: corporate secretarial work is currently shared with other priorities, and DORA and privacy have no dedicated owner, so you will build the function and its frameworks.

Key responsibilities

• Run board and committee meetings end to end: agendas, papers, minutes, resolutions and follow-up actions
• Maintain corporate records, statutory registers and filings across the Group, and support entity management, structuring and corporate transactions
• Build and maintain governance frameworks, policies and committee charters, coordinating across jurisdictions with management, external counsel and corporate service providers
• Own the Group's DORA framework: implementation, upkeep and regulatory alignment, working with IT, Information Security, Risk and Operations on ICT governance and operational resilience
• Oversee the regulatory side of ICT third-party risk, including contractual and outsourcing requirements, and keep DORA policies, documentation and reporting current
• Own the Group's GDPR and data protection framework: policies, procedures, contracts and records
• Advise on data processing, international transfers and the privacy side of products, and coordinate privacy assessments, incidents and requests
• Embed data protection requirements into business and technology processes, monitor regulatory developments and provide ad hoc legal support on corporate and regulatory matters

Required profile

• Several years' experience in a regulated financial institution, international financial services group or law firm, including leading a corporate secretary function
• Hands-on DORA experience, including understanding how to demonstrate compliance in an audit and ideally having implemented it
• Strong GDPR and privacy expertise, with practical experience working with product and IT teams
• A law degree (bar admission not required) and strong legal skills, including reviewing and revising contracts to reflect DORA and GDPR requirements
• Able to work 4 days per week from the Liechtenstein office

Nice-to-haves

• Compliance experience
• Familiarity with Liechtenstein and European financial services regulation
• Experience managing several entities and workstreams across jurisdictions
