Job Description
Catalyst Labs is a leading talent agency with a specialized vertical in Legal, Regulatory Compliance, and Corporate Governance. We operate deeply inside our clients’ hiring processes not as an external vendor, but as an embedded extension of their executive and in-house legal teams.

Requirements

  • Proven experience advising, interpreting, or executing legal and compliance frameworks in live business environments (beyond purely academic or theoretical exposure).
  • Background in a respected law firm, a top-tier corporate legal team, a regulated financial institution, or a high-caliber compliance function.
  • Strong understanding of core legal fundamentals such as regulatory interpretation, contract structuring, governance controls, and risk assessment.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one major area of specialization.
  • Familiarity with modern compliance and legal operations workflows.
  • Experience interacting with regulators, auditors, external counsel, or internal leadership is highly valued.
  • Strong research, drafting, and advisory skills, with the ability to translate complex regulatory obligations into actionable guidance for business teams.

Benefits

  • Take advantage of strong relationships we’ve built with General Counsels, CCOs, and executive leadership.
  • Work with recruiters who understand the difference between regulatory interpretation and regulatory implementation.
  • We prioritize your confidentiality and privacy throughout the recruitment process.
  • No spamming.
  • Support refining your resume for the roles we shortlist you for.
  • Direct communication channels: bypass gatekeepers and speak directly with actual hiring managers and decision-makers.
  • Insight on compensation structures across jurisdictions, including equity-linked roles, regulatory premium roles, and hybrid legal-compliance leadership tracks.
