  • Support internal stakeholders in gathering evidence and preparing case materials.
  • Assist in creating strategies to prevent disputes and resolve them early.

Corporate Governance & Compliance

  • Support corporate secretarial work, shareholder resolutions, and regulatory filings.
  • Assist with implementing compliance policies for anti-bribery, sanctions, and ESG.
  • Participate in employee training sessions to build compliance culture.

Stakeholder Engagement

Career Development

  • Strong commercial contracts experience, ideally in mining, infrastructure, or EPC sectors.
  • Demonstrated ability to draft, negotiate, and manage contracts independently.
  • Experience in disputes, regulatory compliance, and employment law preferred.
  • Highly motivated, resourceful, and willing to work with minimal supervision.
  • Willingness to travel internationally and grow into a leadership role.
