Part of the Optasia Group (JSE: OPA), we partner with utilities, mobile network operators, banks and payment providers to put credit and power in the hands of the people who need it — Light On. Credit On. Future On.
As we grow across multiple markets, the volume and complexity of our commercial agreements is growing with us. We're looking for a Legal Counsel to be the person who makes those deals watertight, repeatable and fast.
About the roleYou'll be the legal engine behind our commercial expansion — drafting and negotiating the agreements that bring new partners live, and building the frameworks and systems that let us do it again and again without starting from scratch each time.
Day to day, you'll draft and negotiate MOUs and commercial agreements with utilities, banks, MNOs, aggregators and other partners; support tenders and proposals as they come up; and develop reusable legal frameworks that can be adapted across deals and markets. You'll also put in place proper systems for tracking, filing and managing our contracts — and lead on using AI to streamline how legal work gets done.
You'll report to the Chief Legal and Strategy Officer and work hand-in-hand with our Commercial and Finance teams.
What you'll doFinergi is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds.
