Back in 2018,

The Oodie

had one big idea: reinvent comfort and make people ridiculously happy.

The Oodie

took the world by storm, and today we are a proudly Australian ecommerce brand spanning sleepwear, outdoor, blankets, pet products and iconic collaborations. We are a cosy crew with big ambitions, no egos and plenty of ideas. We collaborate face to face, think like entrepreneurs, own what we do and give a sh*t about creating things our customers love. The role

As

The Oodie

continues to grow across markets, products, partnerships and channels, the legal questions across the business are growing with us. A newly created role, we are looking for an early career Legal Counsel to join our team and provide practical, commercial legal support across the business. Reporting to our Head of Finance, this is a broad generalist role where you will work closely with leaders and teams across

The Oodie

on everything from commercial contracts and marketing matters through to disputes, intellectual property and everyday legal questions. We are not looking for someone who needs to be the expert in every area. We want someone who knows how to work through an issue, provide clear commercial advice and recognise when we need to bring in specialist external counsel. It is a great opportunity for an

admitted

lawyer who wants to move closer to the business, broaden their experience and build an in house legal career within a fast moving ecommerce workplace. What you will be doing

Reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, supplier agreements and other business arrangements Providing practical legal advice to teams across the business and helping them understand risk without making things unnecessarily complicated Supporting marketing, ecommerce and creative teams with legal queries relating to advertising, promotions, partnerships, influencers, content and customer communications Assisting with intellectual property matters including trademarks,



brand protection, licensing and usage rights Supporting the business with consumer law, privacy and other regulatory requirements across the markets in which we operate Managing straightforward disputes and legal issues and helping the business reach sensible commercial outcomes Coordinating external lawyers and specialist advisers where additional expertise is required Reviewing legal correspondence and supporting the business with responses where appropriate Helping us improve templates, contracts and legal processes so teams can move quickly while still managing risk Keeping across emerging legal and regulatory issues that may impact an ecommerce and consumer brand Building strong relationships across the business so Legal is seen as a practical partner rather than the team that simply says no Who we are looking for

You will be a qualified and admitted Australian lawyer, likely with around a few years post qualification experience. You may currently be working in private practice and looking for your first in house role, or you may already have some in house experience and want broader exposure. More important than having seen absolutely everything before is your judgement, curiosity and ability to work things out. You will ideally bring: Experience reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements A solid understanding of commercial law and Australian consumer law The confidence to manage everyday legal matters independently while knowing when to elevate Strong communication skills and an ability to explain legal issues in clear,



straightforward language Valuable commercial judgement and an understanding that the answer needs to work for the business as well as legally The ability to manage competing priorities in a fast moving environment Confidence working directly with stakeholders across different teams and levels A proactive mindset and willingness to get involved rather than waiting for every question to land on your desk Strong attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger commercial picture Experience across different markets, ecommerce, retail, consumer brands, marketing, privacy, or intellectual property would be useful, but we do not expect you to be an expert across all of them. Why this role?

This is not a traditional legal role where you will spend your day buried in one narrow area of law. You will get exposure across a growing global ecommerce business and work directly with the people making commercial decisions every day. For someone early in their legal career, it is an opportunity to build breadth quickly, understand how an entrepreneurial business actually operates and develop into a strong commercial in house lawyer. The role is

part time, 22.8 to 30.4 hours per week , giving us flexibility to shape the working week around the right person. Tuesday is an Oodie day, so the team member will need to have this as one of their working days. Working at The Oodie looks like: Customer love at the centre

of what we do, if you care about the customer you'd fit right in! Ownership and accountability , with people who give a sh*t A close knit, collaborative culture

with no room for egos Office first flexibility , where we value being together and still enjoy a day or two at home Learning and development

throughout the year Team discounts

to keep you cosy Davie’s Dreamball , with chances to win cash at key milestones Our values in action

every day, not just words on a wall
