About Youi

With over 1,800 employees, we have ambitious goals to keep growing and continue delivering awesome insurance solutions across new products and distribution channels.   

We pride ourselves on our diversity and individuality, both among our employees and the customers we serve. We believe that it is the unique combination of skills, perspectives, and experiences of our people that makes us truly stand out. Our company values reflect this - we are a dynamic, human-focused, honest, and passionate team who is dedicated to providing awesome service to our customers.   

We recognise and value the contributions of each team member to our culture and success. At Youi, we're not afraid to be different, and we're looking for people who share our values and want to be part of a team that is making a difference in the insurance industry.  

If you want a career that lets you, be you, and rewards you for your contribution, Think Youi. 

About the role 

Join Youi's award-winning in-house legal team as a Legal Counsel and be a valued expert for a 12-month temporary role covering parental leave. This position reports directly to the Head of Legal and focuses on providing timely and business-oriented legal counsel, aiding in the protection of Youi's reputation and commercial interests.

  • Maintain the organisation's awareness of legislative changes, especially those related to financial services or other laws directly impacting our business and the broader insurance industry. 

About you
