We are seeking a motivated Corporate Counsel to join our fast-paced and growing team in the energy storage sector. Based in Bangalore, this role is an integral part of Fluence’s Legal Team and serves as a corporate backbone for the company’s activities across the Asia-Pacific region.

The position offers a unique blend of corporate legal and secretarial responsibilities, with exposure to commercial contracting, governance, and cross-functional initiatives.

• Manage board and shareholder meetings, preparation of minutes, resolutions, statutory registers, and annual filings.

• Coordinate statutory audits, filings, and director appointments.

• Support board structuring, power of attorney management, and delegation of authority frameworks.

2. Entity Management

• Oversee the corporate records and governance calendar for Fluence’s Indian entity.

• Manage intercompany documentation, including share issuances, capital infusions, and intercompany loans.

• Implement and maintain a centralized entity and compliance management/tracking system to ensure accurate and timely tracking of corporate documents and regulatory filings.

• Ensure alignment with HQ governance policies, including subsidiary control, approvals, and internal audits.

3. Legal & Compliance Support

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts, including NDAs, local procurement contracts, SaaS agreements, and intercompany service arrangements.

• Provide regulatory support on licensing, corporate approvals, and registrations.

• Provide timely and practical legal advice to internal teams, ensuring alignment with company policies and risk appetite.

• Support ongoing legal and compliance projects such as process improvements, template rollouts, and technology adoption (including our AI-based legal tool for contract review).

• Assist in compliance training and policy rollout across the APAC region.

• Support internal stakeholders on data protection, ethics, and corporate conduct matters.

• Lead or co-lead smaller projects and process enhancements within the legal function.

4. Stakeholder Management

• Work closely with the Senior Legal Counsel, General Counsel (APAC), Finance, and Tax teams to implement governance and compliance controls.

• Liaise with external counsel, auditors, and regulatory bodies.

• Act as a trusted advisor to business and functional leaders, balancing commercial needs with compliance imperatives.
