About the role
We are hiring a Senior Regulatory Counsel to help lead the legal side of Mesh’s global expansion. Working with the Chief Legal Officer and VP of Legal, you will own global regulatory strategy and market entry across LATAM, the EU, the UK, and APAC: assessing what it takes to launch in each market, shaping how our products are offered and distributed there, and driving the licensing and authorization workstreams that make it possible. You will work hand in hand with Compliance, Product, Sales, and outside counsel, and turn a complex, multi-jurisdiction picture into a clear, sequenced expansion plan. This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable operating across borders, legal systems, and time zones at startup speed.
