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 recent 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
