Family Lawyer (Client Engagement Manager)

Recent winner of Fintech Australia’s Finnies Award 2025 for “Excellence in Consumer Lending” and recognised in AFR’s Top 5 Fast Starters, JustFund is a mission-led social lender, providing flexible funding to help people access quality legal representation.

We’re a passionate team of lawyers, technologists, and finance specialists on a mission to ease the financial burden of legal fees to empower people to achieve better outcomes and bridge the gap in access to justice through funding. We’ve seen first-hand how financial imbalance between parties during family law cases can force individuals to settle early or self-represent - often resulting in outcomes far below what they’re legally entitled to.

Since launching in 2022, JustFund has unlocked over $2.5 billion in entitlements, supported thousands of Australians and New Zealanders, and partnered with more than 1,400 leading law firms. In the past year, we’ve more than tripled in size and are now a team of 90+ across Australia and New Zealand and we’re continuing to grow our impact.

If you're passionate about purpose, driven by impact, and excited to solve real-world problems through innovation, we’d love to hear from you.

About You

As a fast growing fintech, the playbook hasn’t been fully written yet. Whilst this might be daunting to some, you realise that the impact you can have, and the scope for personal and professional development is incredible.

You have a bias towards action, being super responsive and you gain satisfaction from pleasing others. You aren’t phased by ambiguity or working solo or in small teams to get the job done. You like the thrill of creating and having an immediate impact on a business.

Your personal attributes:

Family Law Experience. You have at least 3 years of experience in a quick-paced family law practice.

Results-driven. You like a sense of getting things done.

Client-centric.

Opportunity to get into a values-based business early and grow with it.

No billable hours.

A competitive salary and share options package.

Five weeks of leave per year.

Great office with end of trip facilities.

Working with JustFund offers a unique opportunity to be a family lawyer outside of private practice or the government sector. We affectionately refer to the family lawyers in our team as in-house counsel. You will be the same. There are no billable budgets or hours to meet - we simply ask that you work with the passion and drive you would apply to private practice, as we are serving the same group of people in need.

Office-First Culture

While we understand that location is important, our company culture is even more important. We have a strong preference for the successful candidate to be present in our Sydney CBD office. We want the right candidate to be a part of the collaborating, brainstorming, serendipity and laughs that occur each and every day. Preference will be given to individuals who can add most positively to, and are aligned with, our culture. A willingness to be present for as many days as possible each week is a distinct advantage.
