Role Overview
We are seeking a proactive, business-oriented Program Manager (Legal) who can partner closely with leadership teams to solve real problemsnot just draft or review contracts. This role goes beyond paperwork: it requires the ability to understand business objectives, assess risks, propose commercially sensible solutions, and help build scalable processes and frameworks.

This role will work closely with Sales, Finance, Product, Data, Procurement, and Leadership teams to:

- Support strategic initiatives including new geographies, data expansions, API integrations, reseller relationships, and enterprise partnerships.
- Draft, negotiate and improve commercial contracts (SaaS subscription, enterprise licensing, resellers, NDAs, procurement, data sharing, IP).

- Improve contracting velocity and outcomes through better templates, checklists, automation, and use of technology.
2. Regulatory & Data Compliance
- Help interpret and operationalise data privacy requirements (DPDP, GDPR, CCPA etc.).
- Ensure compliance in licensing, IP usage, copyright, data sourcing, and customer data flows.
- Coordinate with external counsel in multiple jurisdictions.
3. Risk Management & Governance
- Identify legal risks early, break them down into scenarios, and recommend mitigation plans.
- Resolve disputes and draft response strategies, assisting in negotiations.
- Maintain corporate hygiene: policies, PoAs, board/committee documentation, and statutory registers where needed.

- Clarity in Communication: simple, direct language; ability to explain positions to business teams.
- Negotiation Skills: balanced and outcome-oriented approach.
- Stakeholder Partnership: ability to work with fast-paced teams globally.
- Operational Discipline: organised, structured, and proactive.
Qualifications
- LL.B. with 4-10 years relevant experience. (MBA is a plus)

- Strong commercial guardrails that protect Tracxn without slowing growth.
- Improved legal literacy across business functions.

- Build modern, tech-enabled legal infrastructure
