Job Description:

As we scale rapidly across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, we need a legal foundation that’s agile, forward-looking, and globally aligned. At Cogoport, you’ll lead high-impact initiatives that blend compliance, governance, and legal strategy — all in a fast-moving, high-stakes global trade environment. This is your opportunity to shape the legal backbone of a future billion-dollar logistics platform while working with senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead all Company Secretarial responsibilities — including board meetings, minutes, statutory filings, and ROC/MCA compliance
  • Draft, vet, and negotiate a wide range of contracts: customer agreements, vendor contracts, NDAs, joint ventures, MoUs, lease agreements, and SaaS partnerships
  • Ensure compliance with Indian statutory frameworks — Companies Act, FEMA, SEZ policies, labor laws, and more
  • Act as internal legal counsel for key business decisions and cross-border transactions
  • Liaise with government bodies, legal firms, and regulatory advisors to manage audits, inspections, and filings
  • Support due diligence, documentation, and structuring for M&A, fundraises, and international expansions
  • Oversee entity registrations, compliance frameworks, and governance for foreign subsidiaries
  • Build and implement internal SOPs, training modules, and compliance policies
  • Maintain a centralized and traceable legal document management system
  • Coordinate with external counsel on litigation, arbitration, and dispute resolution as needed

Requirements:

  • Qualified Company Secretary (ICSI) with LLB from a recognized university
  • 5–8 years of post-qualification experience in legal and secretarial roles (startup or growth-stage company experience a plus)
  • Strong command over Indian corporate law, FEMA, labor law, and international contracting frameworks
  • Adept at working with global teams and navigating regulatory complexity in multiple jurisdictions
  • High attention to detail, ability to prioritize, and confidence to drive decisions independently
  • Strong communication skills (written and verbal) and high ownership mindset

Nice to have:

startup or growth-stage company experience a plus

What we offer:
  • Leadership opportunity to shape Cogoport’s global legal and governance systems from the ground up
  • Cross-border exposure with influence on business expansion strategy and entity structuring
  • Autonomy to craft legal policies that scale with our growth
  • Competitive compensation aligned to market and experience
  • Fast-paced, innovation-driven work culture where your decisions make a real difference
  • A rare opportunity to power the legal core of a company transforming global logistics
