Our client

Our client is an established Australian consumer services business operating in a complex and highly regulated environment. Its legal team works closely with stakeholders across the organisation to support sustainable growth, manage regulatory risk and deliver practical solutions aligned with commercial objectives.

The role

Reporting to the General Counsel, you will act as a senior and trusted adviser across the business. This is a broad in-house role combining commercial contracting with regulatory, privacy, consumer protection and corporate advisory work.

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing legal and strategic advice on major expenditure, procurement and projects;

• Advising on Australian Consumer Law, privacy, data and information security matters;

• Identifying opportunities to improve legal processes and drive more efficient practices; and

• Supporting and mentoring other members of the legal team.

• Strong general commercial capability, including contract negotiation and regulatory compliance;

• Detailed knowledge of Australian Consumer Law and the Privacy Act;

• Experience advising on corporations or financial services regulation;

• An Australian practising certificate; and
