We are Teleport, a rapidly growing logistics solutions provider on a mission to transform the industry. Our Legal Team is looking for a Legal Manager  who will be a key player in driving strategic sourcing, supplier negotiations, and overall procurement excellence. If you want to be part of an ambitious team shaping the future, this is the opportunity for you.

Why Join Us?

• Exponential Career Growth – We believe in developing leaders from within, giving you real responsibilities and the opportunity to grow fast.

As a start up, you can expect your days to be pretty varied. Multitasking is normal, and sometimes, your skills or natural talents will be leveraged to support other business priorities. 

Your Role: Key Accountabilities

• Special Projects & Supporting General Counsel - Support the General Counsel on special projects, cross-functional initiatives, and IPO readiness activities, acting as a key execution lead to drive execution and outcomes.
• M&A& Strategic Transactions -  Lead and support complex corporate transactions, including M&A, restructurings, fundraising and refinancing. Partner closely with the General Counsel to manage due diligence, transaction agreements and documentation, regulatory readiness, and execution timelines.
• End-to-End Legal Support for BAU Operations (MY, SG and or ID) -  Provide hands-on legal support for day-to-day business operations across Malaysia, Singapore, and/or Indonesia, including commercial contracting, operational matters, and regulatory support, while ensuring continuity and risk management across markets.
• Drafting, Review & Negotiation of Complex Agreements -  Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of legal documentation, including commercial agreements, operational contracts and strategic partnership arrangements, ensuring alignment with business objectives.
• Strategic Legal Advisory & Stakeholder Management - Provide practical, business-oriented legal advice to senior leadership and cross-functional teams on operational, regulatory, compliance, licensing, dispute, and corporate structure matters, independently managing stakeholders at leadership level.
• Governance, Risk & Compliance Oversight - Support internal governance processes, including review of board papers, related-party transactions, contract approval frameworks, and legal checklists. Monitor legal and regulatory developments relevant to the business and advise on impact and mitigation.
• Process Improvement, Knowledge Management & Capability Building - Identify and implement legal process improvements, including CLM, contract templates, playbooks, SOPs, and best-practice frameworks. Prepare legal updates and conduct training or workshops to build legal awareness and compliance across the organisation.
  

Minimum Qualifications & Experience

• Law degree from a recognised institution and called to the Bar (Malaysia, Singapore, or Indonesia or any equivalent common law jurisdiction).
• 8–10 years of post-qualification experience, with at least 5 years in private practice, preferably with exposure to M&A, corporate transactions, and/or intellectual property matters.
• Prior exposure to IPO preparation, fundraising, regulatory engagement, or large-scale corporate projects will be an advantage.
• Strong transactional and commercial legal experience, including drafting, reviewing, and negotiating complex agreements in a cross-border or multi-jurisdictional setting.
• Demonstrated ability to thrive in a dynamic, high-growth environment, with comfort operating in ambiguity and managing competing priorities.
• Self-starter with a strong ownership mindset, able to work independently, initiate projects, and drive matters to completion with minimal supervision.
• Proven stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trust and credibility with senior leaders, business teams, and external advisors across multiple geographies.
• Experience handling fast-moving and high-pressure issues, with sound judgment and the ability to respond pragmatically and decisively.

Who Should Not Apply

• If you’re looking for a comfortable, low-intensity role, this is not it.
• If you struggle with direct stakeholders, fast decisions, or pressure, you will find this challenging.
• If you need perfect structure before you can operate, a startup environment will frustrate you — we are building the structure as we scale.
• If personal growth, ownership, and accountability are not priorities for you, this role will not be a good fit.
• If you tend to take feedback or disagreements personally rather than professionally, this environment may feel tough.
