Your responsibilities will include providing general legal advice and overseeing advice from external lawyers on key issues such as corporate governance, commercial matters, property, and other ad hoc concerns. You will also be instrumental in maintaining a straightforward yet effective governance and compliance program through documented policies, staff education, and continuous monitoring of internal controls.
