About KOHO

We’re on a mission to make financial services better for every Canadian. That means no hidden fees, no predatory interest rates - just financial products designed to help our users spend smart, save more, and build real wealth. We’re a performance organization with a strong heart: we care deeply about outcomes, and everything ties back to our mission - to financially empower a generation of Canadians.

At KOHO, we’re not your average 9-5. We believe real impact comes from people who are trusted, empowered, and supported to do their best work - without sacrificing their lives to do it. We prioritize work-life integration, not just work-life balance. That means asynchronous collaboration, flexible hours, and a remote-first setup built around autonomy and high trust.

KOHO is entering its next chapter - leaner, smarter, more AI-integrated. We’re building for impact, not bureaucracy. If you thrive in environments that value clarity, ownership, and bold thinking, you’ll fit right in.

About The Role

As Product & Regulatory Counsel, you will play a key role in supporting KOHO’s product development and regulatory strategy across both KOHO Tech and KOHO Bank. You will work closely with Product, Marketing, Risk, and Compliance teams to provide practical legal advice that enables innovation while protecting customers and maintaining strong regulatory standards.

This role is ideal for a lawyer who enjoys building new things, solving complex regulatory questions, and working closely with business teams in a fast-moving environment.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Partnering across KOHO Tech and KOHO Bank to provide practical regulatory advice that enables growth while protecting customers.

  • Supporting the design and launch of new financial products and features, identifying regulatory risks early and helping teams build compliant solutions.

  • Playing a key role in helping KOHO set up and operationalize a regulated bank, including supporting engagement with regulators such as OSFI, FCAC, and the Bank of Canada.

  • Supporting marketing and growth teams by ensuring campaigns are effective and compliant with financial services and consumer protection requirements.

  • Providing guidance to customer-facing teams on complaints handling, communications, and fairness considerations.

  • Helping build scalable legal and regulatory processes to support KOHO’s long-term growth as a regulated financial institution.

What You’ll Bring

  • 4+ years of post-call experience as a lawyer practicing in Canada (in-house and/or at a law firm).

  • Deep expertise advising on financial services regulation, banking law, or consumer protection frameworks.

  • Strong judgment and the ability to provide practical, business-oriented legal advice.

  • A comfort level working cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, CX, Risk, and Compliance teams.

  • A high ownership mindset, with a focus on taking initiative and prioritizing solutions over problems.

  • A builder mentality with a natural bias toward action in fast-moving environments.

  • A curious nature and the ability to learn new concepts quickly.

  • A proactive approach and highly organized work habits.

  • Adaptability and the ability to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments.

  • A strong work ethic and consistent reliability.

  • An honest, responsive, and collaborative professional style.

Nice to Haves

  • Experience working at a bank, fintech, or regulated financial institution

  • Familiarity with RPAA and the Financial Consumer Protection Framework (FCPF)

  • Knowledge of AML/ATF and privacy laws

  • Fluent in French

The budgeted salary range for this role is $180,000 - 220,000 CAD / year.

At KOHO, we are dedicated to providing pay transparency to all candidates. Compensation at KOHO is determined through various factors including but not limited to: comparable salary market data within Canada, technical skill assessment, a holistic view of previous work history, and internal pay equity with other KOHO team members.

  • Un excellent jugement et la capacité de fournir des conseils juridiques pratiques et axés sur les objectifs d'affaires.

  • Une grande aisance à travailler de manière transversale avec les équipes de produit, de marketing, d'expérience client (CX), de gestion des risques et de conformité.

  • Un grand sens des responsabilités, avec un esprit d'initiative et une priorité accordée aux solutions plutôt qu'aux problèmes.

  • Une mentalité de « bâtisseur » et une propension naturelle à l'action dans des environnements qui évoluent rapidement.

  • Une curiosité intellectuelle alliée à une grande rapidité d'apprentissage.

  • Une approche proactive et un excellent sens de l'organisation.

  • Une capacité démontrée à évoluer avec succès dans des environnements de travail ambigus.

  • Une éthique de travail rigoureuse et une fiabilité exemplaire.

  • Un esprit honnête, réactif et collaboratif.

Atouts

  • Expérience au sein d'une banque, d'une fintech ou d'une institution financière réglementée.

  • Connaissance de la Loi sur les activités associées aux paiements de détail (LAAPD) et du Cadre de protection des consommateurs financiers (CPCF).

  • Connaissance des lois sur le recyclage des produits de la criminalité et le financement des activités terroristes (RPC/FAT) ainsi que des lois sur la protection de la vie privée.

  • Maîtrise du français.
