  • Serve as the main liaison with external law firms, coordinating advice & controlling costs.

Internal Legal Handling

  • Respond to FDA / DOH notices and manage inspections.
  • Handle labor issues, including notice-to-explains and disputes.
  • Manage contract enforcement, supplier / customer disputes, and data privacy incidents.

  • Philippine Bar-admitted lawyer (mandatory).
  • Strong regulatory network (FDA, DOH, SEC, PRC, NPC).
  • Experience in healthcare, life sciences, tech, or other highly regulated industries.
  • Proven ability to balance strategic corporate work with operational legal / compliance issues.
  • Demonstrated ability to work with founders, VCs, and regulators in fast-changing environments.
  • Experience managing external law firms and / or leading compliance / legal teams a plus.
  • Reporting Line

  • Works closely with the Management team, Medical Operations team, and People & Culture team.
