This is a standout opportunity for a lawyer looking to step into (or grow within) an in-house role that offers breadth, responsibility, and genuine mentorship.

Joining a lean and high-performing legal team of two, you’ll work closely with a highly regarded General Counsel who is deeply invested in developing their team. This is an setting where you will be trusted with meaningful work, given exposure across the business, and supported to build both your technical and commercial skillset.

This is a varied and hands-on position spanning legal, compliance, and governance. You will partner across the business and be involved in:
Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a broad range of commercial agreements
Providing practical, commercially focused legal advice to internal stakeholders
Advising on marketing and product compliance across key regulatory regimes (including ACL, Corporations Act, ASIC Act, Privacy and Spam legislation)
Assisting with complaints, disputes, and regulator engagement
Contributing to AML/CTF compliance and broader risk management initiatives
Supporting governance processes, reporting, and internal policy development
Advising on privacy, WHS,



and general operational legal matters

This role offers strong visibility and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to business decisions.

About You
3+ years PAE
Strong foundational knowledge of contract, consumer and privacy law
Prior exposure to compliance will be highly regarded; a genuine interest in regulatory, risk, and governance matters is essential
Commercially minded with the ability to deliver clear, pragmatic advice
Confident working with stakeholders across a business
Seeking a background in financial services or other regulated environments but is not essential.

Why This Role Stands Out
Direct mentorship from an experienced and highly capable General Counsel
A genuinely broad role that will accelerate your in-house career
Small, cooperative team with real influence across the business
High level of autonomy balanced with robust support and guidance

This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer who wants to step beyond pure legal work and build a well-rounded in-house career in a dynamic and supportive environment.
