The successful candidate will be part of the Legal, Compliance, and Secretariat (LCS) business function, which is dedicated to managing legal, regulatory, and financial crime risks, as well as corporate secretariat responsibilities. The role involves ensuring that the company's business conduct aligns with its legal and regulatory risk appetite, and maintaining a robust program for the identification, assessment, monitoring, and reporting of such risks. The VP will be responsible for providing legal advisory and transaction support in complex corporate banking, markets, and derivatives, and transactional banking matters. This includes advising on a range of financial transactions, from syndicated and bilateral loans to digital platform agreements, and overseeing the legal aspects of risk management, documentation, and governance. Candidates for this role should have a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree, with admission to practice law being preferable.
