Your Mission

We are looking for a commercially minded Legal Counsel to join our Corporate Affairs team on a fixed-term contract of 9 to 12 months. This is a hands-on contracts role for a lawyer who is as comfortable reviewing and negotiating agreements as they are identifying smarter ways to get that work done. You will own a broad portfolio of commercial and corporate agreements, build and refine contract workflows, and contribute to making the legal function faster and more scalable. You are pragmatic, process-oriented and genuinely enthusiastic about using technology and automation to improve how legal work gets done.

Responsibilities:

Review, draft and negotiate a broad range of commercial and corporate agreements, including intercompany agreements, termination letters, client agreements, NDAs, vendor agreements, director agreements and other standard templates.
Own end-to-end contract lifecycle management, from intake through execution, ensuring speed, consistency and legal soundness.
Build, improve and maintain contract templates and playbooks to reduce turnaround time and increase self-service capability across the business.
Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in recurring contract workflows and design practical solutions, including automation where appropriate.
Leverage AI tools and contract management technology to streamline review processes and improve throughput without sacrificing quality.
Act as a collaborative partner to business teams, providing clear, actionable legal guidance on contractual matters.
Support corporate secretarial and entity management work, including maintenance of corporate records, preparation of resolutions and assistance with entity housekeeping across jurisdictions.
Manage the entity management software system (DiliTrust), ensuring accuracy and completeness of corporate records.
Contribute to broader legal operations initiatives, including process documentation, workflow design and tooling improvements.
Collaborate with Finance, Tax, Treasury and People Operations to support business objectives and manage legal risk.

Qualifications:

Law degree (LL.B., J.D. or equivalent) with bar admission in a recognized jurisdiction.
5+ years of relevant experience in commercial or corporate law, in a law firm and/or multinational in-house legal team.
Strong contracts background with experience reviewing, drafting and negotiating a high volume of commercial agreements.
A process-improvement mindset: you do not just get the work done, you look for ways to do it better.
Hands-on experience with or genuine interest in using AI tools, contract automation and legal technology to drive efficiency.
Comfortable building from scratch: templates, playbooks, workflows and scalable legal processes.
Familiarity with corporate secretarial work and entity management is an asset.
Proficient with entity management and contract tools (e.g., DiliTrust) and Microsoft 365.
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

English (written and spoken) is the primary working language, as colleagues, clients and strategic partners are geographically dispersed.
