A rare opportunity for a Senior Privacy & Data Counsel to take ownership of an enterprise-wide legal capability within a large, complex ASX Listed Australian organisation.

Working closely with senior leaders across Legal, Technology, Data, Risk, Compliance and Security, your Legal Team will provide strategic, commercially focused advice in an increasingly complex regulatory and technology environment.

- 12+ years’ PQE with deep privacy and data expertise
- Direct experience leading & uplifting a legal team
- Robust leadership, influencing and stakeholder management capability




- The confidence to own the function & team, shape its direction and build capability
- Experience navigating complex organisations and evolving regulatory issues
- Exposure to AI and emerging technologies highly regarded
- Senior in-house candidates or experienced private practice lawyers ready to make a significant move in-house

This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible leadership role with genuine scope to make the capability your own. An excellent remuneration package plus benefits on offer.

Role can be based in either Melbourne or Sydney.
