About Impact Investment Exchange (IIX) IIX ( Impact Investment Exchange ) is a Singapore-headquartered pioneer in impact investing, connecting capital markets with sustainable development. For over a decade, IIX has been building the infrastructure for impact by structuring innovative financial instruments, running donor-funded development programs, and developing digital platforms that serve impact investors, enterprises, and communities across Asia and beyond. Our work spans impact-linked securities, blended finance, gender-lens investing, and climate finance, always with the goal of mobilizing private capital for social and environmental good. We are a lean team committed to our mission. Everyone wears several hats, and the pace is fast. If that appeals to you, you’ll do well at IIX. About the role IIX structures impact-linked funds, bonds and credit transactions, runs donor-funded programs and operates across multiple Southeast Asian jurisdictions with a lean team, so it needs a senior lawyer who can own legal risk end to end. This role is IIX’s senior in-house counsel for transaction, commercial, litigation, employment and compliance matters across Singapore HQ, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Kenya, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam among other jurisdictions and deals also with funders from Australia, Canada, Sweden, the United States and elsewhere. Success means deals close on time on enforceable documentation, compliance gaps are caught before they become problems, reliance on external counsel is targeted and cost-controlled, litigation is managed effectively, and business teams see Legal as an enabler rather than a bottleneck. Key Responsibilities: Transactions, Contracts & Credit Documentation Draft, review and negotiate commercial, partnership and collaboration agreements, NDAs, MOUs, service contracts and grant or donor-funding agreements. Lead legal documentation for IIX’s capital-markets and lending activity, including fund, bond and note documentation, loan and credit agreements, security documents and term sheets, working with external counsel where required.

Support corporate and entity matters, including entity set-up, relocation or restructuring as IIX expands into new markets. Conduct multi-jurisdictional legal research and turn findings into clear, practical guidance. Strategic Advisory & External Counsel Management Advise leadership on strategic matters, new products and market entry, giving clear, risk-weighted recommendations rather than lists of issues. Select, instruct and manage external counsel across jurisdictions, including scoping work and controlling legal spend. Manage disputes and pre-litigation matters, and development of litigation strategy and coordination and oversight of litigation counsel.
