Summary of Role

As Legal Counsel within our Manila-based Legal Centre of Excellence (CoE), you will act as a "bilingual" expert bridging the gap between traditional law and technology. You will split your time between architecting AI-powered contract solutions for global clients (80%) and providing core in-house legal support for our own business growth (20%).

Your Impact & What You'll Do

Your work is split between shaping our external-facing legal solutions (80%) and supporting our internal legal needs (20%), ensuring you have a broad and dynamic impact.

• Create Legal Playbooks: Draft and refine the contract redlining rules that power our AI and Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) implementations.

• Champion Legal Tech: Serve as the subject matter expert in client meetings, demonstrating how technology solves real-world legal and negotiation challenges.

• Drive Innovation: Act as the "voice of the lawyer" for our tech teams, testing and providing feedback to improve our AI-powered legal tools.

• Train Global Teams: Develop and lead training sessions on contract management and negotiation best practices for our international service teams.

• Support In-House Legal: Manage our own client and supplier contracts, monitor compliance, and handle corporate governance matters.
  

Why You'll Thrive with Execo

• Future-Proof Your Career: Master the fastest-growing segment of the industry by developing deep, hands-on expertise in Legal AI and CLM.

• Global Impact: Create playbooks and training programs that are used by teams and high-profile clients across the globe.

• Co-Creator Status: Work directly with developers to shape the technology you use, rather than just being an end-user.

• Hybrid Growth: Balance external consulting with internal counsel duties to stay sharp, well-rounded, and commercially focused.

• Prime Location: Work from our modern office in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Manila.
