What you’ll be doing:

  • Essentially a corporate and commercial role, but as is normal in-house, anything can come up.
  • Taking a control of contracts and contract management, in drafting, negotiating and executing.
  • Handling compliance and risk management issues, as well as corporate governance and disputes.
