APAC Legal and Compliance Officer

Why are we proud of what we do at allnex? We create coatings, products which help protect the world for all nex>t generations – and that's exactly what you can do joining us

Imagine how fast your smartphone would become scratched-up, ugly and unusable without a coating. Or an e-bike, the cabin of a train, a beautiful wooden floor, and countless other things in life.

Making objects and their surfaces more attractive and longer-lasting means making them more sustainable, and that's a huge part of what working at allnex is about. No matter which role you step into, you'll become part of a global team of passionate people who care deeply about the chemistry, quality, and global impact of coatings.

You'll also join a highly multicultural and diverse team of more than 4,000 employees in four regions who – as part of one of the world's leading coating resins companies – serve customers in over 100 countries across the globe.

allnex is seeking an experienced APAC Legal and Compliance Officer, to be based in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. This position will report to the General Counsel, Asia Pacific, with a dotted reporting line to the Head of Compliance, while being a member of the allnex global Legal Services team, which has hubs in Alpharetta, Brussels, Shanghai, Frankfurt, and Kuala Lumpur.

The APAC Legal and Compliance Officer will be responsible for providing legal advice on allnex's business activities in the region, particularly in drafting sales and procurement contracts.
