Business Support

  • Support HR with employment contracts, NDAs, termination agreements, and HR policies, ensuring compliance with Singapore (and where relevant Malaysia / Indonesia) laws.
  • Assist in dispute preparation, including preparing document bundles, chronologies, and evidence summaries to reduce external counsel costs.
  • Liaise with external counsel for escalated matters, ensuring internal preparation is completed before engagement.
  • Governance & Compliance

  • Ensure templates and policies align with Singapore legal and regulatory requirements.
  • Monitor regulatory updates (Singapore, and where applicable regional jurisdictions) that may affect business operations.
  • Support compliance with data protection obligations (e.g., PDPA) and maintain confidentiality standards.
  • Assist with corporate secretarial matters, filings, and statutory record-keeping as required.
  • Additional Functions

  • Support vendor / partner governance and renewal management.
  • Prepare risk registers or reports to give management visibility into recurring contractual risks.
  • Provide internal training or briefings to raise staff awareness of contractual and compliance risks.
  • Requirements

  • Diploma / Degree in Law, Legal Studies, or equivalent.
  • 3-5 years of experience in a paralegal, legal executive, or compliance role (experience in corporate / SME environment preferred).
  • Strong understanding of Singapore law and jurisdiction is a must.
  • Excellent proficiency in English (written and spoken) is required.
  • Exposure to regional laws (e.g., Malaysia, Indonesia) is an advantage.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to identify legal risks.
  • Excellent organisational and record-keeping skills.
  • Ability to work independently and communicate legal concepts clearly to non-legal colleagues.
  • High standards of confidentiality and integrity.
  • What We Offer

  • Remote role with direct exposure to Singapore operations.
  • Opportunity to act as a trusted advisor to management on governance and contract risk matters.
  • Exposure to a wide range of legal and compliance areas beyond contracts.
  • Collaborative environment working directly with management and cross-functional teams.
