Who We Are

NEXT Ventures is a rapidly scaling global fintech company where ambition takes shape and momentum becomes movement. Headquartered in Bangladesh with operations across Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Cyprus, we specialize in funded trading platforms, CFD brokerage, and futures trading, empowering over 220,000 daily users from 170+ countries.

Our two core divisions, FundedNext, our flagship and profitable brand, and FNmarkets, a next-generation CFD broker, are built to unlock potential and drive performance. With 500 dedicated professionals across five countries, we are managing complex financial flows, scaling global operations, and laying the groundwork for future fundraising and IPO ambitions.

Join us to help shape financial strategy in a dynamic and high-growth environment where dreamers become doers and performance defines success.

Your Role in Our Mission

As Chief Legal Officer (CLO), you will lead NEXT's global legal strategy, ensuring compliance, risk management, and structural integrity across our multi-jurisdictional operations. You'll tackle challenges like entity setups (e.g., in Cyprus, UAE, Hong Kong), regulatory compliance for payment agents and brokers, and legal support for fundraising.

This role is critical for mitigating audit risks, optimizing inter-entity agreements, and aligning legal priorities with business growth in fintech. You'll collaborate with C-suite leaders and build a robust legal team.

How You’ll Make an Impact

Strategic Legal Leadership

• Develop and execute legal strategies that support cross-border entity structuring, tax-efficient fund flows, and capital movements—ensuring compliance with jurisdiction-specific laws such as debt financing rules in the UAE and Hong Kong.
• Advise on major business decisions including market expansion, product launches, and corporate structuring in alignment with international legal frameworks.
  
  
  

Regulatory Compliance & Governance

• Ensure full compliance with evolving fintech regulations including AML/KYC, EU payment agent laws via Cyprus entities, and broker licensing for platforms such as FNmarkets.
• Lead regulatory readiness efforts for audits, inquiries, and inspections across jurisdictions, proactively mitigating risks and reinforcing governance structures.
  
  
  

Capital & Transaction Support

• Partner with leadership to prepare for fundraising and future IPO activities through due diligence readiness, investor agreement advisory, and legal risk protection.
• Oversee complex contract negotiations for banking, PSPs, and intercompany agreements to ensure strategic and compliant global growth.
  
  
  

Legal Risk & Advisory Excellence

• Collaborate with finance, operations, and product teams to embed legal insights into strategic planning and risk assessments.
• Lead initiatives on employment law across diverse regions (e.g., Sri Lanka and Malaysia), as well as global intellectual property protection and dispute resolution.
  
  
  

External Stakeholder Management

• Build and maintain strong relationships with external legal advisors and regulatory bodies across priority markets such as CySEC (Cyprus) and DFSA (UAE).
• Promote a strong internal compliance culture through training and consistent application of legal best practices.
  
  
  

What You Bring

• Juris Doctor (JD) or equivalent law degree with active bar admission in at least one key jurisdiction such as the UK, UAE, Hong Kong, or a member state of the EU.
• 15+ years of senior-level legal experience in fintech, brokerage, or technology-driven organizations, including leadership roles in high-growth, multi-jurisdictional environments.
• Demonstrated expertise in international entity structuring, cross-border compliance, and regulatory affairs across regions such as the UAE, Hong Kong, and the European Union.
• Proven track record in supporting fundraising efforts (Series C and beyond), IPO readiness, and governance design—including investor agreements and legal risk management.
• Deep understanding of corporate law, commercial contracts, intellectual property, employment law, and fintech regulations related to payments and broker-dealer operations.
• Strong strategic advisory and negotiation capabilities, supported by proficiency in legal tech tools and experience managing distributed legal teams.
  
  
  

Your X-Factor

• Experience in CFD or futures brokerage regulation, with deep familiarity in navigating UAE corporate governance frameworks and EU financial directives.
• A reputation as an ethical, business-savvy legal leader who balances compliance with innovation and growth.
• Demonstrated success in supporting product rollouts and market expansions through pragmatic, cross-functional legal strategy.
• Ability to translate complex legal risks into clear, actionable insights for leadership, with strong stakeholder management across regulators, external counsel, and executive peers.
