The posting

We are seeking an experienced and commercially minded Senior Legal Manager to establish, develop, and lead the company's legal function within the industrial sector.

The ideal candidate will have substantial hands-on, in-house legal experience within an industrial, manufacturing, construction, or related business, with a strong understanding of applicable laws, regulatory frameworks, and industry-specific compliance requirements.

This role requires a proactive legal professional who can independently manage day-to-day legal matters, support investment and corporate transactions, mitigate legal risks, and establish effective legal processes and policies. The successful candidate should be comfortable building the legal function and working directly on legal matters rather than relying primarily on external law firms.

Key Responsibilities

● Establish and develop the company's legal function, including legal policies, procedures, templates, and internal controls.

● Manage day-to-day corporate legal matters and provide practical, commercially focused legal advice to management.

● Draft, review, negotiate, and manage commercial agreements, industrial contracts, construction contracts, and other business-related legal documents.

● Ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, licensing requirements, and industry-specific restrictions relevant to the company's operations.

● Identify legal and regulatory risks associated with industrial activities and recommend appropriate mitigation measures.

● Support investment activities, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), corporate restructuring, joint ventures, and other strategic transactions.

● Conduct or coordinate legal due diligence for acquisitions, investments, and strategic partnerships.

● Manage relationships with regulators, government authorities, external legal counsel, and other relevant stakeholders.

● Develop practical legal processes that support business operations, investment decisions, and sustainable growth.

● Build and organize the legal team over time, establishing clear responsibilities, workflows, and reporting mechanisms.

● Provide legal guidance on corporate governance, risk management, dispute resolution, and contractual obligations.

● Work independently on complex legal matters while engaging external counsel when specialized expertise is required.

Requirements

Requirements

● Bachelor's degree in Law or an equivalent legal qualification. A postgraduate degree or legal qualification from a Western country is preferred.

● At least 8 years of relevant legal experience.

● Proven in-house legal experience within an industrial, manufacturing, construction, engineering, or related company.

● Strong practical experience in corporate and commercial law, contract negotiation, and regulatory compliance.

● Demonstrated exposure to investments, mergers and acquisitions, acquisitions, joint ventures, or corporate restructuring.

● Experience establishing legal processes or working within a small legal team is highly desirable.

● Strong understanding of industry-specific regulations, operational restrictions, and legal risk management.

● Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to negotiate and draft complex legal documents.

● Strong stakeholder management, commercial judgment, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.

● Ability to work independently, take ownership of legal matters, and build a legal function from the ground up.

Key Competencies

● Hands-on legal execution

● Corporate and commercial law

● Industrial regulatory compliance

● Investment and M&A transactions

● Contract drafting and negotiation

● Legal function development

● Commercial awareness and risk management

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
