About you

You're a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys being close to the business and is comfortable taking ownership of matters rather than simply identifying legal issues.

Ideal experience and skills

• 5+ years' PQE and admission to practice in Australia or New Zealand, with a current practising certificate or eligibility to obtain one.
• Strong commercial contracting experience, particularly drafting, reviewing and negotiating agreements.
• Experience gained within a top‑tier, national or international law firm and/or a large corporate or multinational in‑house legal team.
• The confidence to manage matters independently and sound judgement around when to elevate.
• Strong stakeholder management, drafting and negotiation skills.
• Practical experience using generative AI tools in legal work, whether for research, drafting, review or improving workflows.
• A commercially pragmatic mindset and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast‑moving environment.
• Curiosity, adaptability and an appetite to work with a business experiencing ongoing technology and product transformation.

Additional bonus experience

Experience in technology, intellectual property, competition and consumer law, content licensing, SaaS, AI or legal technology would be advantageous, but you don't need to tick every box.

Why join us?

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Work with an international legal technology and AI business where technology is changing both the products we build and the way legal work is delivered.

• Work alongside specialist legal colleagues across areas including employment, privacy and IP, as well as regional and global teams.
• Use and develop your skills with AI and legal technology in your day‑to‑day legal practice.
• Connect with the broader APAC legal team, including an annual team get‑together involving international travel.

Location & Working arrangements

The role offers flexible working and can be based across Australia or New Zealand, excluding Perth due to the time‑zone requirements of the team.
