Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa Robert Walters Full time R900 000 - R1 200 000 per year

Our client is the market leading banking as a service platform, enabling real-time access to funds at the lowest possible operating cost.

As
Junior Commercial Counsel
, you'll be responsible for commercial contracting, negotiations, and contract management via a contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform. Reporting to the Head of Legal: Commercial, your focus will be on reviewing customer T&Cs and negotiating a range of BAU contracts, including leases, NDAs, procurement, service provider, employment, and strategic partnership agreements. You'll also manage CLM workflows and track tasks for both yourself and the team.

You should have 2-4 years' post-articles experience with a solid background in drafting and negotiating commercial contracts. A curious mindset, strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt in a fast-paced environment are essential. Strategic, independent thinking and a willingness to take ownership are key to success in this role.

Experience in technology, banking, software, or financial services is a plus, as is time spent in-house or at a large firm. Exposure to IP, financial services, or technical tools like CLM platforms or project management systems is also beneficial.

This is a
remote-first
role based in South Africa, offering flexibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to work in a collaborative, high-impact environment that supports continuous learning and bold thinking.
