Our client is a non-bank lender providing invoice finance, supply chain finance and business loans to Australian SMEs.
This is a small team with direct decision-making and genuine commercial exposure, offering the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership rather than within a large corporate legal function.
This is the first dedicated in-house legal role, giving you the opportunity to own the legal function end to end and work directly with the Director.
What you'll do
Draft, review and improve facility documentation across invoice finance, supply chain finance and secured business loans
Manage the security position - GSAs, PPSR registrations and verification, guarantees, caveats, mortgages and priority arrangements
Run recovery and enforcement matters, including demands, security enforcement, guarantor recovery and instructing external counsel on litigated matters
Protect our client's position in insolvency, including voluntary administrations, liquidations, proofs of debt, secured creditor strategy and DOCA analysis
Support the funding structure, including warehouse and noteholder documentation, covenant and reporting obligations




Work closely with credit on transaction structuring to ensure deals are properly documented from the outset
Keep compliance requirements current across AML/CTF, privacy and contract governance
What you'll bring
4-6 years' post-admission experience in banking and finance, restructuring and insolvency, or commercial litigation
Practical PPSA capability - not theoretical.
You have experience registering, verifying and enforcing security interests
Current NSW practising certificate
Solid commercial judgment and the ability to distinguish between risks that should be documented and risks that should be priced
Comfortable operating independently without a large legal team around you
What's on offer
Direct reporting line to the Director, with the opportunity to provide advice that directly influences commercial decisions
Genuine breadth across transactional, enforcement, insolvency and funding work
Hybrid working arrangement from our client's North Shore office
