About The Role
The Legal Executive will support the Head of
Legal in the execution of Saudi legal workstreams, including commercial
contracting, legal research, regulatory summaries, bilingual Arabic-English
drafting, documentation management, internal follow-up and coordination with
external counsel. The role provides strong legal support at the preparation,
execution and follow-through level, ensuring that legal workstreams are
properly documented, reviewed and progressed in a timely manner.
Silq is operating in an environment where the
Legal function supports regulatory positioning, commercial structuring,
financing arrangements, funding readiness, product governance, supplier and
buyer arrangements, internal approvals, external counsel coordination and
bilingual Saudi law documentation. The Legal Executive will enable the Head of
Legal to focus on strategic direction and senior stakeholder alignment, while
reducing reliance on external counsel for execution-level work.
