We operate under regulatory supervision in Indonesia and support a growing set of overseas operations. Role Overview<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">We are looking for a Senior Legal Manager to take ownership of strategic commercial contracting and corporate governance across the group. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting directly to the Head of Legal. It suits a lawyer with strong law firm training who wants the breadth, pace and commercial proximity of a high-growth regulated business, and who is ready to own a workstream rather than execute within one.<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">You will be close to the decisions.
