  • Coordinate Board, Board Committee, Management Committee, and Shareholder meetings, including scheduling, preparing meeting materials, taking minutes, and tracking follow-up actions.
  • Support and continuously improve the group's corporate governance framework, including governance policies, board committee charters, delegation of authority matrices, and compliance calendars.
  • Maintain and organize corporate records to support audits, fundraising due diligence, regulatory requirements, and investor requests.
  • Coordinate legal onboarding activities, including KYC documentation, notarisation, and corporate documentation requests.
  • Improve the Legal team's operational efficiency by implementing legal technology solutions, including AI-assisted tools, document management systems, and workflow automation.
  • Maintain legal document repositories, monitor contract execution and renewal deadlines, and support day-to-day legal operations.
  • Assist with corporate projects, intra-group restructuring initiatives, and other legal or governance matters as required.

What Are We Looking For

  • Diploma or Degree in Law, Accountancy, Business, or a related discipline.
  • 1-3 years of experience in corporate secretarial, audit, legal operations, compliance, governance, or a related corporate function.
  • Basic knowledge of Singapore corporate law, the Companies Act, and ACRA filing requirements.
  • Experience supporting board or committee meetings, including preparing meeting materials, minute-taking, and following up on action items.
  • Strong organizational and document management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines with accuracy.
  • A proactive mindset with an interest in improving processes and adopting legal technology, including AI-enabled tools.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively with internal teams, regulators, external service providers, and corporate stakeholders.
  • Experience in fintech, financial services, or other regulated industries, as well as ICSA/CSIS qualifications (or working towards them), will be an advantage.

You are responsible for ensuring that the personal data you provide is accurate and complete. If you provide us with personal data relating to another individual (for example, as a referee or emergency contact), you represent and warrant that you have obtained that individual’s consent in accordance with applicable data protection laws (including the PDPA) for us to collect, use, and disclose their personal data for the purposes described above.
