Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa M-KOPA Full time

Are you looking for an opportunity to work in a company where progress and humility are valued as highly as technical excellence? You can join our journey too as a Legal and Compliance Counsel:

Imagine stepping into a role where you become the
cornerstone of legal and compliance excellence within a dynamic, forward-thinking organization.


In this pivotal role, you are not just a legal advisor; you are the
architect of strategic legal direction and compliance oversight.

Picture yourself meticulously
drafting, managing, and negotiating contracts and other legal documents, ensuring that every agreement protects the company's full legal rights.

You will forge strong relationships with
domestic and international suppliers, distributors, regulators, investors, and public authorities. Your
proactive approach to risk management and
legal issue resolution makes you an indispensable asset to the organization.

Your journey takes you deeper into the realm of
compliance leadership.

Imagine monitoring the ever-evolving legal and regulatory landscape, ensuring that M-KOPA's systems and processes are always a step ahead in compliance.

You engage with external parties, from regulators to investors, fostering relationships built on trust and transparency. Through
thorough research and insightful guidance, you empower management to navigate complex legal, regulatory, and compliance issues with confidence.

As a
guardian of the company's interests, you anticipate and manage legal risks, devising robust defense strategies. Your counsel spans a wide array of legal topics, including
regulations, compliance, labor law, partnerships, and intellectual property. Each day, you help M-KOPA operate within the legal framework, safeguarding its operations and reputation.

But your story doesn't end there. You become a
champion of data privacy and protection. Picture yourself leading privacy program remediation activities, conducting data audits, and advising on the implications of data protection efforts.

You conduct thorough
Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and ensure that company policies align with the latest Data Protection Regulations.

You maintain comprehensive records of all data processing activities, and your
awareness campaigns and training programs foster a culture of data protection across the organization.


Your journey also involves
supporting special projects, from privacy certification and audits to new market expansion and consumer protection due diligence.

You are the driving force behind promoting a
culture of data protection compliance across all units of the organization and among suppliers processing personal data.


In this role, you are more than just a Legal and Compliance Counsel; you are a
strategic leader, a trusted advisor, and a guardian of the company's integrity and innovation.


If you are ready to embark on a journey where your expertise will shape the future of legal and compliance excellence, join us at M-KOPA.

Be part of a team committed to
integrity, innovation, and strategic leadership, and make your mark on the future of the company.
