About the company

Our client is an international fintech that funds small and medium-sized businesses across several markets. Its Polish team is growing, and it is now building an in-house recoveries function. This is a chance to join early and help shape how it works.

The role

You will manage a portfolio of business debt cases from start to finish. That includes first conversations with debtors, agreeing repayment plans, and taking cases through court and enforcement when needed. You will work closely with the company's legal lead in Poland, so you will learn quickly and take on real responsibility early.

Day to day, you will

  • Run recovery cases at every stage: pre-litigation, court and enforcement

  • Speak with business owners about overdue payments and agree workable repayment solutions

  • Draft letters, settlements, claims, motions and enforcement applications

  • Keep track of litigation, insolvency and restructuring cases and their deadlines

  • Check debtors' assets and company details in public registers

  • Coordinate with outside counsel and bailiffs

  • Keep case data up to date and suggest ways to make the process work better

You'll fit well if you

  • Have a law degree (trainee legal advisers and advocates are very welcome)

  • Know the basics of civil law, civil procedure and enforcement

  • Write clearly and precisely

  • Stay organised and never miss a deadline

  • Are comfortable having direct, sometimes difficult conversations

  • Can work in English with documents and international colleagues

Extra points for hands-on experience with debt collection or litigation, whether at a law firm or in-house, and an interest in insolvency and restructuring.

What's on offer

  • A full-time role in a growing international company

  • Broad, practical exposure to the whole recovery cycle

  • Close mentoring from an experienced in-house lawyer

  • Room to grow your litigation and negotiation skills

  • A real say in how the recoveries process is built

  • Private medical care

  • A modern office in Kraków, where you'll work alongside the team every day

  • Location: Kraków, Poland (office-based)
