Job description
Reporting directly to the META General Counsel, this Legal Operations Specialist role sits close to how Honeywell's legal function actually runs day to day across the region. You'll combine legal operations, corporate support and administrative coordination to keep the department functioning smoothly, based in Dubai on a hybrid schedule. Corporate governance takes up a good part of the work, covering statutory records, filings and governance documentation across Honeywell's META entities. Board and shareholder matters fall within scope too, from preparing resolutions and powers of attorney to drafting minutes and corporate documentation. Licensing, renewals and regulatory submissions need close tracking, with deadlines and obligations escalated before they become risks. Legal department workflows, trackers and reporting tools get managed and optimized, alongside the adoption of legal technology platforms, contract management tools and knowledge repositories. Cross functional coordination runs between legal, compliance, finance and business teams, keeping everyone aligned on shared priorities. Administrative support for META legal leadership rounds out the role, covering presentations, reports, dashboards, external counsel onboarding and budget tracking for legal spend. A bachelor's degree in law is required, along with seven or more years of experience in legal operations or corporate governance support, at least four of them in the UAE.
