• Support contract administration, intake management, matter tracking, approvals, signature processes, and legal operations reporting.
• Partner with the regional legal lead for APAC to improve workflows, templates, guidance notes, and self-service tools for Sales.
• Support regional commercial legal projects, including process improvements, contract remediation, policy rollouts, and cross-functional initiatives.
• Build trusted relationships with internal stakeholders by providing practical, timely, and commercially focused support.

• Experience supporting technology, SaaS, cloud, outsourcing, telecommunications, financial services, or multinational sales teams.
• Strong judgment, prioritisation, stakeholder management, and written communication skills.
• Comfortable working across jurisdictions, time zones, and global approval frameworks.
