FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

We are looking for a hands-on Corporate Legal Manager to manage the day-to-day legal and contractual operations at Busup’s headquarters. This is a pivotal corporate position with absolute ownership of headquarters' operations and a clear, structured path toward global legal management. Set within a dynamic, fast-paced, international, and multicultural working environment, this role is focused on handling our core corporate needs first, with the opportunity to gradually support our international markets (Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States) as the business grows.

As a standalone role, this position is ideal for a mid-to-senior legal professional who enjoys execution and organizing daily workflows, offering real career progression opportunities to actively design, build, and eventually lead the legal department as the business scales. You will take care of our routine legal and compliance tasks at the HQ level, ensuring smooth and secure daily operations. Serving as the main point of contact for the Legal-Admin area, your initial focus will be on reviewing commercial contracts, supporting the Technology and Product teams with agreements, and assisting with corporate maintenance.

3. Compliance, Privacy & Risk Management

• Establish, implement, and monitor core corporate compliance policies (e.g., anti-bribery, ethical codes, internal risk protocols).

• Ensure full data privacy compliance under GDPR and LOPD regulations across all digital products, platform developments, and corporate operations.

• Manage the company’s corporate insurance portfolio, ensuring appropriate coverage limits for civil liability and cross-border commercial transactions.

• Maintain direct relations and handle communications with regulatory bodies and public authorities where legally required.

4. Process Optimization & Legal-Tech Innovation

• Drive continuous process optimization within the legal function to improve contract turnaround times and commercial execution speed.

• Actively explore, implement, and leverage AI tools and advanced legal-tech solutions to automate document review, accelerate drafting, and optimize legal research.
