Job Description

Position Title: Paralegal Officer

Reports To: In-House Lawyer

Job Summary:

The Paralegal Officer is a key compliance partner for the Leadership Team, providing substantive legal support to the In-House Lawyer. In our fast-paced lending environment, you will bridge the gap between legal theory and business operations. You will take the lead in drafting judicial affidavits for small claims, reviewing specialized employment contracts, and monitoring our company’s adherence to SEC and Data Privacy regulations. This is a role for a detail-oriented professional who can identify legal risks before they become liabilities and who can handle complex documentation with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversight: Ensure all operations, products, and internal processes comply with Philippine laws and fintech‑specific regulatory guidelines.
• Monitoring: Stay ahead of regulatory shifts (e.g., new BSP circulars or SEC advisories) and assess their impact on business activities; monitor compliance with government regulations and ensure timely submission of required reports to relevant agencies (e.g., SEC, BIR, NPC, DA, FDA, NMIS, BAI, BOC, DOLE).
• Licensing: Lead the preparation for regulatory licensing applications, renewals, and mandatory periodic reporting.
• Liaison: Act as the official point of contact for regulators, industry associations, and external auditors.
• Documentation: Review, draft and update Compliance Manuals, SOPs, vendor contracts, and internal guidelines to ensure they reflect current legal requirements.
• Research: Lead research on laws, rules, and regulations as needed, to keep the team informed of policy changes.
• Marketing Review: Review all promotional materials and communications to ensure they are fair, clear, and compliant with consumer protection laws.
• Data Privacy: Support Data Protection Officer (DPO) functions, including incident reporting and ensuring compliance with the Data Privacy Act (DPA).
• Administrative Work: Document Preparation: Draft, review, and revise basic legal documents such as Affidavits, Secretary Certificates, Demand Letters, and other corporate documents.
• Administrative Work: Filing & Recording: Physically and digitally organize all company contracts and litigation files.
• Administrative Work: Liaison Work: Act as the "feet on the ground" for the Legal Team—visiting the SEC, BIR, Notary Public, and local courts for filing and pick‑ups.
• Ad‑hoc Tasks: Perform other duties as may be assigned by the supervisor or other superiors from time to time.

Qualifications

• Professional Experience: 2–5 years of solid experience in compliance, legal, or regulatory risk.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Legal Management is preferred.
• Industry Context: Direct experience in fintech, banking, or financial services is highly preferred.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep familiarity with AML/CFT laws, KYC standards, and regulatory reporting in the Philippines.
• Soft Skills: Exceptional documentation and reporting skills.
• Soft Skills: Ability to translate complex legal jargon into actionable business advice.
• Soft Skills: Highly ethical with strong professional integrity.
• Soft Skills: Proactive and able to work independently in a fast‑paced environment.
