Legal Manager
About this role
Shaping the legal strategy for Myanmar's largest FMCG distribution group is a senior responsibility that touches every business unit. This role oversees all legal functions at EAC Myanmar, ensuring the group operates within regulatory frameworks while pursuing commercial objectives.
You will lead contract negotiations with suppliers, distributors, and partners, manage regulatory risk across six business units, advise senior management on corporate governance matters, handle dispute resolution, and oversee external legal counsel engagements. The role requires balancing legal caution with business pragmatism.
This senior position demands significant experience in corporate law, ideally within the FMCG, manufacturing, or distribution sector. You should have strong negotiation skills, the ability to translate complex legal concepts for non-legal stakeholders, and a thorough understanding of Myanmar business law and regulatory requirements.
EAC Myanmar's position as the country's leading distribution conglomerate means its legal manager handles a volume and variety of commercial transactions that few other Myanmar companies can match. This senior role provides board-level exposure and the kind of complex deal experience that accelerates a legal career significantly.
