YOUR NEXT JOB!

We're looking for a hands-on Regulatory Legal Counsel to own regulatory compliance across Wireless Logic's global IoT business. We combine many technologies and service models: mobile network (MNO) resale, our own MVNO set-ups, satellite connectivity including low-earth-orbit services such as Starlink and Amazon Leo, internet access services, and the hardware and managed services around them, across more than 30 markets and many legal entities. When these services are combined, the regulatory questions get harder: what are we, in which country, through which entity, and what does that require of us?

Your job is to find the answers and turn them into business decisions. You'll read the regulation yourself, talk to regulators and industry peers where that helps, and use AI and modern tools to get there fast, rather than turning to local counsel by reflex. Then you'll translate the requirements into a clear view of business risk and impact, so the business can decide what to do.

WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT:

Wireless Logic is a global IoT connectivity business, helping organisations securely connect and manage devices across international markets. We operate across many jurisdictions, technologies and partner models, so regulation is part of how we design, build and sell our services. We value pragmatic advice, pace and curiosity, and we want Legal to help the business move forward safely.

You'll join Group Legal, a small international team of lawyers based in the UK, France and Singapore, supporting more than 30 jurisdictions across the Group's businesses. You'll lead on regulation within the team and work closely with your colleagues on everything else.

YOUR DAILY QUEST:

Regulatory Compliance Register: today's obligations

Build and own the Group's regulatory compliance register: what we sell, in which market, through which entity and on which infrastructure, and the licenses , registrations, numbering and other obligations that apply.

Keep it current with the OpCos and with Product, Technology, Tax and Security colleagues, and drive the actions to close the gaps it shows.

Make it due-diligence ready: clear, evidenced answers on our regulatory position for investors, auditors and acquirers.

Regulatory Change Tracker: what's coming

Own the Group's regulatory change tracker: scan for new EU, UK and international rules in telecoms, cyber security and product regulation (such as NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act), data protection and digital regulation, and rate each by relevance and compliance burden.

Advise the named business owner of each regulation on whether it applies, what our role is and what has to change by when. Legal owns the radar; the business owns the response.

Run the cycle: monthly updates on priority items, quarterly reviews, a full re-scan twice a year, and a monthly dashboard for the Risk Committee.

Regulatory Advice for a Multi-Technology, Multi-Service Business

Advise on the regulatory treatment of our service mix, individually and in combination: MNO resale, MVNO, satellite (including Starlink and Amazon Leo), internet access, hardware, managed services and bundled offers. Topics include licensing and registration, numbering, permanent roaming, lawful intercept and data retention, sanctions and export controls, and product compliance for the hardware we sell.

Assess new propositions, network models, partnerships and market entries early, so regulation shapes the design rather than stopping the launch.

Engage directly with regulators, industry bodies and peers to clarify requirements; bring in local counsel selectively, for high-risk questions or where a formal opinion is needed.

Advise on the regulatory aspects of carrier, supplier, partner and customer contracts, working with commercial legal colleagues.

Business Risk and Impact

Translate regulatory requirements into business risk: likelihood, impact, cost of compliance and the options, in plain language.

Give a clear recommendation, and help risk owners make and record informed decisions.

Feed regulatory risks into the Group risk register and support the Risk Committee.

Assess regulatory exposure in acquisitions and integrations.

Ways of Working

Use AI and legal technology as your everyday toolkit: research, first-pass analysis, regulatory monitoring and keeping registers current.

Build templates, playbooks and simple processes the business can run without Legal in every step.

Train and guide colleagues across the Group on their regulatory obligations.

Support the wider Legal team on commercial and general legal matters when capacity allows, including in Spanish-speaking markets.

THE SECRET SAUCE:

Qualified lawyer in any major jurisdiction (UK, EU or elsewhere). The jurisdiction matters less than regulatory depth and international reach.

At least 5 years' post-qualification experience in telecoms or electronic communications regulation, ideally more, including multi- jurisdiction work, gained in-house at an operator, MVNO, IoT or technology company, at a regulator, or at a law firm.

Hands-on, multi- jurisdiction experience across licensing and registrations, numbering, roaming, cyber security, sanctions and export controls, and data protection.

Fluent English and Spanish. A third language, such as Portuguese, French or German, is a strong plus.

A good understanding of how mobile, satellite and internet services work technically, and enjoyment in bringing technology, legal and commercial thinking together.

Pragmatic and quick: you boil complex questions down to the essentials and give a clear recommendation, not just a list of requirements.

Confident user of AI tools in your daily legal work.

Commercial judgement: you can tell material risk from theoretical risk and know when to escalate.

A collaborative team player who enjoys being part of a small international legal team.

Exposure to IoT, eSIM , MVNO/MNO models or satellite services is a strong advantage.

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU SHINE:

You're hands-on. Faced with a new market or service, your first move is to read the regulation, contact the regulator or talk to others doing business there, rather than brief an external firm. You enjoy working out how the technology fits together, you use AI to reach the answer faster, and you're comfortable making a recommendation when not every fact is known. You like working in a small, dynamic team where you own your topics end to end.
