The Company
This is an opportunity to join a large and well-established organisation with a highly regarded in-house legal team supporting a complex operational and project-driven business.
Legal is closely embedded with the organisation and works directly with operational teams, procurement and stakeholders across a broad range of commercial matters.
The business offers the scale, structure and mentoring that many lawyers look for when building a long-term in-house career.
The Role
This newly created role has arisen due to internal growth within the legal team.
Working alongside experienced in-house lawyers from strong private practice backgrounds, you will support a broad range of commercial and operational matters across the organisation.
The role is heavily contracts focused and will include:
• Drafting and negotiating commercial agreements
• Procurement and supplier contracting
• Supporting operational and project teams
• Advising on contractual and commercial risk
• Working closely with stakeholders across the business
Importantly, legal is involved early in projects and commercial decision-making rather than simply reviewing matters at the end of the process.
About You
You are likely a commercial lawyer with approximately 3–6 years’ PAE coming from either:
• a corporate/commercial private practice background; or
• an existing in-house legal role
You will bring:
• Strong drafting and negotiation capability
• Experience with commercial contracts and supplier arrangements
• Confidence engaging directly with stakeholders
• A pragmatic and commercially minded approach
This role will suit a lawyer who enjoys understanding how businesses operate and wants broad commercial exposure within an established in-house environment.
What’s On Offer
• Large and highly regarded in-house legal team
• Strong mentoring and career development opportunities
• Broad commercial and operational exposure
• Genuine work/life balance (approximately 830am–530pm culture)
• 1 day WFH
• Salary ~$170-180k package
