General Counsel

The Company is seeking a General Counsel to lead its legal function and advise senior leadership on corporate, commercial, regulatory, governance, and compliance matters. Responsibilities include drafting and negotiating complex commercial contracts, managing external counsel, and engaging with government agencies and regulators. The role will oversee governance, risk management, ethics, and compliance initiatives, including anti-corruption policies, while supporting operational teams on a range of legal issues. The General Counsel will also build effective relationships across the organization and contribute to improving legal processes through guidance and training. Candidates must be admitted to the Philippine Bar and have 10–15 years of post-qualification experience, combining law firm practice with in-house counsel work in large organizations. They should bring extensive experience in corporate, commercial, and regulatory matters, complex transactions, governance, and risk management. Strong stakeholder communication skills and experience managing external counsel and engaging with regulators are required. Familiarity with anti-corruption and ethics frameworks is important; experience in highly regulated industries is an advantage.
