GoRocky is building Southeast Asia’s leading chronic care platform. We are seeking a senior lawyer to lead our legal, compliance, and regulatory affairs functions at the intersection of health, technology, and government.

This role will serve as the company’s in-house counsel, compliance head, and primary liaison with regulators and law firms — handling both strategic corporate work (fundraising, governance, regulatory advocacy) and day-to-day operational issues (FDA/DOH inspections, labor disputes, data privacy).

This is a senior leadership role with a clear growth path toward a C-level position (Chief Legal Officer / Chief Compliance Officer) as the company scales.

What You’ll Do

Government & Regulatory Affairs
  • Build and manage relationships with FDA, DOH, PRC, SEC, NPC, and related agencies.
  • Represent GoRocky in hearings, consultations, and industry associations.
  • Secure and maintain regulatory approvals, licenses, and permits.
  • Shape regulatory frameworks around digital health and chronic care.
Legal Counsel & External Liaison
  • Act as in-house counsel, advising management and Board on legal and corporate governance matters.
  • Draft and review key contracts, shareholder agreements, and investor documents.
  • Support corporate actions (fundraising, SSA/SHA, ESOP, share buybacks, and corporate approvals).
  • Serve as the main liaison with external law firms, coordinating advice & controlling costs.
Internal Legal Handling
  • Respond to FDA/DOH notices and manage inspections.
  • Handle labor issues, including notice-to-explains and disputes.
  • Manage contract enforcement, supplier/customer disputes, and data privacy incidents.
  • Provide business-oriented legal advice to leadership and department heads.
Compliance Leadership
  • Lead the compliance department and strengthen SOPs across:
    • Prescription issuance and audit trail
    • Compounding, device, and retail compliance
    • Advertising/marketing claims
    • Pharmacovigilance systems
    • Data privacy & security protocols (serving as NPC Data Privacy Officer)
  • Conduct internal audits and compliance training.

What We’re Looking For

  • Philippine Bar-admitted lawyer (mandatory).
  • Strong regulatory network (FDA, DOH, SEC, PRC, NPC).
  • Experience in healthcare, life sciences, tech, or other highly regulated industries.
  • Proven ability to balance strategic corporate work with operational legal/compliance issues.
  • Demonstrated ability to work with founders, VCs, and regulators in fast-changing environments.
  • Experience managing external law firms and/or leading compliance/legal teams a plus.
Reporting Line
  • Works closely with the Management team, Medical Operations team, and People & Culture team.
  • Advises the Board on legal and compliance matters.
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary, benefits, and potential ESOP participation
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Collaborative and supportive team environment
  • Direct exposure to founders, board, and top investors
