Assist with the implementation of contract management software.

Develop a structured plan to ensure administrative consistency across offices.

Create and distribute contract templates and checklists to standardise commercial agreements while accounting for regional variations.

TEAMWORK

Build strong relationships across different business divisions.

Provide support and guidance to colleagues, ensuring effective communication of best practices.

Be flexible and assist team members outside normal office hours when necessary.

Travel as required for business needs.

LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT

Continuously develop legal and product knowledge by engaging with different business units and participating in relevant industry events.

REPORTING

Stay updated on all legal matters involving the company and provide timely reports when required.

ADMINISTRATION

Ensure full compliance with all company policies and procedures.

Identify and implement enhancements to existing legal processes.

Submit timely reports and adhere to deadlines.

Maintain confidentiality of all company-related information.

Requirements

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERTISE

LLB or BA/BCom LLB degree.

Extensive knowledge and experience in commercial contract law.

2+ years post-admission experience in a well-established law firm, bar, or in-house legal team (a mix of private practice and in-house experience is preferable but not required).

Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

Experience in the tourism industry is an advantage but not required.

COMPETENCY REQUIREMENTS: PERSONAL AND TECHNICAL ATTRIBUTES

Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build trusted relationships with internal and external stakeholders while managing legal risks.
