About Antina:

Founded in 2020, Antina is a JV between Starhub Mobile and M1 and is responsible for the rolling out of the 5G Standalone (SA) Radio Access Network (RAN) in Singapore for the two mobile network operators.
The Standalone 5G (SA) RAN is a game-changing ultra-high speed, low-latency network, and one which will enable new use cases across entertainment, cloud gaming, transportation, education and healthcare. 5G is used across three main types of connected services, including enhanced mobile broadband, mission-critical communications, and the massive IoT.

Non-standalone 5G (NSA) was the first stage of 5G, using a new 5G radio (or 5G NR) access network overlaid on an existing 4G LTE network core. Standalone (SA) 5G uses the 5G NR access network on a brand new 5G network core.

• You will be maintaining and managing the regulatory risk and compliance to ensure that the Company complies with the various internal policies as set out by Management, as well as external legal and regulatory requirements.
• You will be managing external counsel and legal service providers as needed to safeguard the interest of the Company.
• You will be advising the management on updates of laws and regulations in relation to Antina’s business.
• You will be empowered to work independently and make your own business judgement, whilst training and support are available when needed.

Job requirements:

• 5 to 10 years legal experience as a practicing lawyer or as an in-house legal counsel, preferably in telecommunications, software or IT industry.
• Prior exposure to various areas of law, regulations and polices including but not limited to the technology industry is a plus.
• Keen interest in technological solutions and the industry, with willingness to learn and develop in-depth understanding of the various matters affecting the Company.
• Possess business acumen grounded with a touch of practicality and pragmatism.
• Collaboration with legal experts and the stakeholders to ensure the Company's compliance with internal policies and external legal and regulatory requirements.
• Analytical and logical with ability to work and make decisions under time pressure.
• Ability to work independently as well as in a team environment.
