Senior Corporate Paralegal

Job description

**Who we are** Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress. Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that. Atoms builds Physical AI— real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive. This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale. We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life. If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us. **About the role** We are a rapidly growing global technology company!. We are seeking an experienced, high-caliber **Senior Corporate Paralegal** to join our regional hub in Singapore, reporting directly to the **Head of Legal, APAC**.

Corporate Secretarial & APAC Entity Governance** - Lead corporate secretarial operations across APAC—ensuring full compliance with applicable local corporate laws and regulatory requirements, manage direct filings with statutory registries, maintain statutory registers, prepare board and shareholder resolutions, and handle annual compliance filings and business license renewals for regional entities, subsidiaries, and branch offices. **2.

Stakeholder & Service Provider Management** - **Cross-Functional Collaboration:** Serve as the primary corporate governance contact for internal cross-functional teams, including Global Legal, Finance, Tax, HR, and regional expansion teams. - **Outside Counsel and Vendor Management:** Directly manage external corporate secretarial firms, registered agents, and legalisation agents across APAC to ensure high quality, cost efficient, and timely delivery. **What we’re looking for** - **Singapore Professional Qualification:** Chartered Secretary / Chartered Governance Professional credential (e.g., **CSIS / SAICSA** membership). - **Deep Regional Expertise:** Comprehensive, hands-on mastery of corporate filing systems, statutory compliance, and corporate secretarial practices, alongside practical experience managing entity maintenance across multiple APAC jurisdictions. - **Superior Independent Judgment:** Demonstrated ability to exercise independent judgment in complex governance scenarios, analyze multi-variable regulatory requirements, and propose long-term solutions. - **Years of Experience:** **7+ years** of corporate secretarial and/or corporate paralegal experience within a top-tier Singapore law firm, corporate service provider, or multinational in-house legal department. - **Language Capabilities:** **Proficiency in Mandarin (written and spoken) is preferred** to effectively liaise with Chinese-speaking stakeholders, partners, and local service providers. **Why join us** At Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time—bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together. Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team—so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow. **What else you need to know** This role is based in our Singaporeoffice. Atoms is a company driven by invention and continuous change - we are constantly reimagining our industries, building new products, and refining how we operate. We do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week. **Ready to join us as we serve those who serve others?** *#LI-Onsite*
