Maintain and contribute to the Company’s contract templates, playbooks and standard clause library.

Liaise with Commercial, Finance, Product, Payments and Operations teams to obtain the factual and commercial inputs required to progress a review.

Data Protection

Support compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Malaysia) and equivalent regimes in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates, including Singapore and Indonesia.

Review and draft data processing agreements, data sharing arrangements and cross-border transfer provisions.

Assist with the upkeep of privacy notices, internal data protection policies and records of processing.

Assist with data subject access requests, data protection impact assessments and breach triage, escalating material incidents immediately.

Contract Lifecycle and Obligation Tracking

Maintain the contract register, including intake of newly executed agreements, key date capture and accurate filing of execution versions.

Track renewal, expiry, notice and termination dates and provide advance notice of upcoming deadlines.

Maintain complete and accurate legal records and ensure version control across all agreements.

Litigation, Disputes and Corporate Secretarial Support

REQUIREMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) from a recognised university. Admission to the Malaysian Bar, or admission in another common law jurisdiction, is preferred.

Minimum one year of post-qualification experience gained in a law firm. Candidates with additional in-house experience are welcome to apply.

Demonstrable hands-on experience reviewing and drafting commercial agreements. This is the core requirement of the role.

Working knowledge of data protection law, in particular the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Malaysia), is a significant advantage.

Strong written and spoken English, with the ability to explain legal issues clearly and concisely to non-lawyers. Proficiency in Mandarin Chinese and Bahasa Malaysia is a significant advantage, given the Group’s regional counterparties and documentation.

Comfortable using contract management systems and AI-assisted legal tools for research, review and drafting, applying appropriate judgment, verification and confidentiality safeguards. This is a requirement of the role, not an optional skill.

Meticulous attention to detail, particularly in relation to defined terms, cross-references, numbering and internal consistency within agreements.

Able to manage a high volume of concurrent matters against short turnaround times and competing deadlines.

Genuine interest in gaming, digital goods, e-commerce or online marketplaces is an advantage.

Sound judgment in identifying material issues, distinguishing legal risk from commercial risk, and escalating promptly rather than resolving matters beyond the scope of the role.
