A Sydney non-bank lender is growing its in-house legal team and is looking for a banking and finance lawyer to join them.

The remit is wide and suits someone ready to step out of private practice, or into a broader in-house role, and sit closer to the commercial side of financial services. You will be a trusted adviser to product, operations and senior management, with responsibility for your own matters from day one.

What you'll do

- Prepare, review and negotiate funding, finance and counterparty agreements
- Guide the business on its regulatory obligations across the financial services and credit landscape, working hand in hand with compliance and risk
- Provide legal input on new products, partners and growth initiatives, from initial design through to go live
- Review customer documentation, disclosures and promotional material




- Manage a broad mix of commercial contracts, including technology, supplier and partnership arrangements
- Keep across industry and regulatory change and help the business respond
- Brief and oversee external lawyers on specialist or significant matters

What you'll bring

- Admission in Australia and 2-6PQE
- A banking and finance grounding from a top tier or international firm, or from an in-house role in financial services
- Solid understanding of how Australian financial services regulation works in practice
- The ability to translate legal issues into explicit, commercial advice for non-lawyers
