Good junior in-house roles don’t exi… Wrong. Work closely with a senior leadership team, receive quality mentorship from an experienced GC, on a range of interesting matters.

About the Company
A national business headquartered in Brisbane, with over 30 years’ experience in recruitment, technology, business and HR advisory, the company understands the importance of hiring people with passion.

The Role

Reporting to an approachable General Counsel with a wealth of legal expertise gained both in large law firm and public sector environments, you will be supported professionally and personally, in your transition in-house. You will work closely with the executive team, as well as senior leaders within the business.

Although no two days in this role will be alike, you’ll enjoy a diverse mix of legal matters including:

  • Commercial: drafting, reviewing, and supporting contract negotiation (e.g. service agreements, government and technology consulting, SAAS agreements)
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Employee Relations - With a workforce of approximately 1000 employees and contractors, the legal team are regularly exposed to a variety of WHS & IR matters
  • Governance – exposure to company secretarial responsibilities and sitting on the organisation’s Risk Committee.
  • Ad hoc dispute

About you

To be successful in this role, you’ll bring between two (2) and four (4) years’ post admission experience, gained in either corporate/commercial and/or employment law. Most important will be your pragmatic, solutions-focused approach, your strong commercial acumen and hunger to learn.

The Perks

An attractive, market-competitive salary will be offered to the successful candidate. In addition, you’ll enjoy:

  • Participation in an annual, discretionary bonus scheme which has historically been generously paid
  • An awesome company culture whereby everyone feels heard, and innovation and new ideas are encouraged.
  • Flexible and hybrid working opportunities (please note that we are open to candidates seeking to work part-time 0.8 either across 4 or 5 days)
  • An active social club, monthly and quarterly celebrations

Perhaps the most appealing aspect of this role is the opportunity to progress your legal career without sacrificing your personal life. The company values balance, with most leaving the office by 5pm and enjoying regular opportunities to work from home.
