Job Description

Key Responsibilities May Include:

  • Provide reliable, cost-effective, and timely legal counsel to business units across a wide array of matters affecting the region and the global corporation.
  • Advise on and negotiate commercial transactions, contracts, and agreements with key customers, vendors, and service providers, ensuring alignment with business goals and legal standards.
  • Offer strategic legal guidance on major transactions, including mergers and acquisitions (M&A), with a focus on identifying risks and conducting necessary due diligence.
  • Manage day-to-day legal issues for business operations, including matters related to plant operations, logistics, asset management, and real estate (e.g., leases, property agreements).
  • Anticipate, mitigate, and manage legal risks by providing proactive legal strategies and monitoring emerging legal trends that may impact the business.
  • Lead the company’s litigation strategy, manage disputes, and handle intellectual property rights issues, leveraging external counsel when necessary.
  • Support the development of company policy, operational improvements, and procedural enhancements by providing legal insights on regulatory compliance and business operations.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead all legal matters across the AMET region
  • Provide commercially pragmatic legal advice to business leaders
  • Negotiate and advise on significant commercial contracts and transactions
  • Drive legal and regulatory compliance initiatives
  • Manage disputes, litigation strategy and external counsel
  • Partner with global legal specialists and cross-functional teams
  • Support the strategic growth agenda of the business while managing risk responsibly

What You'll Bring

  • Qualified legal practitioner admitted in South Africa
  • At least 10 years' legal experience
  • Strong commercial law and negotiation expertise
  • Experience operating across multiple jurisdictions
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
