Reports to: Chief Recruitment Officer
Work Arrangement: Hybrid(3 days onsite, 2 days remote)
Experience Level: Minimum 2 years in a Corporate Startup

How You'll Make an Impact

• You will be the guardian of our Service Level Agreements (SLAs), ensuring 100% accuracy and compliance while maintaining a lightning-fast turnaround time of less than 24 hours.
• If you are a collaborative, tech-savvy lawyer who loves building frameworks and navigating risk in a high-growth environment, this is your role.

• Contract Management: Draft, review, and manage the lifecycle of all commercial contracts, ensuring 100% accuracy and protection.
• Corporate Governance: Act as the primary point for due diligence, risk reporting, and regulatory compliance.
• Legal Advisory: Provide real-time counsel to internal stakeholders to avoid disputes and manage litigation efficiently.
• Onboarding Support: Participate in client onboarding meetings to ensure legal alignment from the very first touchpoint.

• Professional (Mandatory): Barrister-at-Law (B.L) and a member of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
• Experience: Minimum 2 years in a corporate startup environment. We are specifically not looking for legal consulting/law firm backgrounds—you must be comfortable being an in-house generalist.
