Legal Counsel – Global Technology Group

Brisbane | Newly Created Role | 4–8 PAE

A rare prospect has come up for a mid-level lawyer to step into a newly created Legal Counsel position within a major global technology & software group.

This is a multi-billion-dollar, listed organisation with over 50,000 employees globally, that owns a diverse portfolio of software and technology businesses and continues to grow through strategic acquisitions.

If you’re looking for a role with genuine ownership, variety, and exposure to senior decision-makers, this could be a great opportunity.

Why This Role?

- Newly created position with autonomy and influence from day one
- Work directly with senior executives across Australia, NZ, the UK, and the US
- Support a fast-growing portfolio of technology businesses
- Exposure to a broad range of commercial and corporate matters
- A business with a long-term acquisition strategy and strong financial backing
- Flexibility: 3 days in the office + 2 days WFH
- Attractive package: ~$170k + shares + 20–40% bonus

The Work

This role offers real breadth. You’ll be the key legal advisor across a wide portfolio, supporting both day-to-day operations and strategic initiatives. Work will include:

- Reviewing and negotiating a wide range of commercial and technology contracts
- IP, licensing and software agreements
- Government and private-sector procurement
- Leasing, insurance and risk matters




- Supporting cross-border transactions and acquisitions
- Advising on regulatory, compliance and corporate governance issues
- Managing external counsel where required

You’ll join a highly capable leadership team who value commercial advice, clear communication and practical outcomes.

About You

We’re looking for a lawyer with around 4–8 years' PAE, ideally with experience across any of the following areas:

- Commercial contracts
- Technology, SaaS or IP
- Corporate / transactional work (nice but not essential)

You might come from private practice, in-house, or a mix. What matters most is that you’re comfortable running matters independently, working with pace, and partnering closely with non-lawyers.

Culture

You’ll be joining a collaborative, low-ego leadership team inside a business that values autonomy, accountability and ongoing growth. Despite being part of a large global group, the local team remains agile, pragmatic and genuinely down-to-earth.
