We're looking for a Legal Counsel to move into the express lane of our quick-paced commercial environment!

Join our team and help navigate the legal and commercial landscape of one of Australia's leading automotive physical and digital auction and remarketing businesses, and part of one of the biggest Automotive services groups in the world. Every day brings something different, including commercial contract negotiations and drafting, property matters, disputes, consumer law and compliance.

If you're looking for a role where you can get under the bonnet of a real business, work directly with the decision drivers, and build broad commercial legal experience, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

As Legal Counsel, you'll work closely with business leaders across operations, sales, finance, IT, safety and corporate functions to provide practical legal and compliance advice that keeps our business moving.

- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating customer, supplier, sales and other commercial agreements.
- Managing disputes and claims.
- Advise on new products and services, sales, marketing, procurement, IT, data, privacy, property and logistics.
- Lead responses to regulatory enquiries, notices and licensing matters.
- Monitor legal developments and translate risk into clear, practical business advice.
- Build trusted relationships with senior leaders and operational teams.

What We're Looking For

You'll likely bring:

- 4 -8 PQE, ideally across private practice and in-house environments.
- A Bachelor of Laws or equivalent and a current Australian practising certificate.




- Strong commercial drafting and negotiation skills.
- Sound judgement and the confidence to run matters autonomously.
- A collaborative style and the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
- Strong organisation, communication and prioritisation skills.
- Curiosity, adaptability and comfort using AI-enabled tools.

Most importantly, you'll enjoy being part of a business where legal isn't just a support function - you're in the passenger seat helping guide the journey.

Why Join Us?

Because legal careers shouldn't spend all day parked behind a desk - you'll enjoy:

- Exposure to a broad range of commercial and operational legal matters
- Direct access to senior leaders and business decision-makers
- Supportive environment focused on development and growth
- Chance to build valuable in-house experience early in your career
- Business that moves quickly, values practical solutions and celebrates initiative
