Legal Officer

About the role:

E88 Ventures is scaling rapidly across electric motorcycle deployment, battery swapping operations, and B2B commercial partnerships. As the company grows, so does the legal and governance infrastructure required to support it — contracts, corporate records, data privacy obligations, regulatory intelligence, and legal risk management are all expanding in volume and complexity.

As Legal Officer, you will own the execution of the PMC Department's legal workstreams end to end — from contract lifecycle management and corporate governance administration to data privacy program coordination and regulatory intelligence. You will work closely with the PM and Compliance Manager, external legal counsel, and cross-functional department heads to ensure that E88's legal function operates with precision, speed, and zero dropped balls.

Key Responsibilities

• Contract Lifecycle Management: Own end-to-end execution across all agreement types, maintain the Contract Repository, coordinate document preparation, and support legal preparedness for new partnerships.
• Corporate Governance and Secretariat: Maintain corporate books and records (board resolutions, Secretary's Certificates, etc.), coordinate SEC/BIR reportorial obligations, and assist in the Corporate Secretary function.
• Data Privacy Program: Serve as the internal point of contact for data privacy, coordinating with external counsel, and leading the internal rollout of the privacy program.
• Regulatory Intelligence: Lead the regulatory watch function, maintain the Regulatory Watch Log, and provide quarterly regulatory briefs to ManCom.
• Legal Risk and Advisory Support: Maintain the Legal Risk Register, support external legal counsel engagements, and provide legal operations support.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Legal Management, Political Science, AB Law, Business Administration, or a related field. Law school enrollment or graduation is an advantage.
• 3-5 years of experience in paralegal, legal operations, corporate governance, compliance, or a related role.
• Demonstrable exposure to contract management, corporate secretarial functions, or data privacy compliance is strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of Philippine corporate law, contract law fundamentals, and the Data Privacy Act.
• High proficiency in Google Workspace and document management tools.
• Strong written communication and drafting skills.
• Experience in a startup or fast-scaling company is a strong advantage.
