The Company

Robert Half is proud to be partnering with a highly regarded business, recognised as one of the most prominent technology scale-ups in both the Australian and international markets. With a product offering that has already gained significant traction as a genuine disruptor, and with revenues continuing to grow strongly, the business is well positioned to become a leading player in an expanding sector.

Having experienced exceptional growth in recent years, the organisation is now focused on further accelerating its regional and international expansion.

As such, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Legal Counsel to join a close-knit, high-performing legal team. Working closely with the Executive Leadership Team, the broader business and key commercial partners, the incumbent will provide practical and commercially focused advice as the organisation navigates the opportunities and challenges that come with rapid growth.

This is a broad, hands-on role offering exposure across a wide range of legal areas, including commercial contracting, product development, strategy, governance, regulatory compliance, intellectual property and international expansion. The successful candidate will become part of a business known for its collaborative and supportive culture, where people are encouraged to contribute, take ownership and work together to achieve shared outcomes.

The Role

In this autonomous and varied position, the appointed candidate will play an integral role within the legal team, supporting a business that is focused on innovation and growth. Partnering closely with teams across product, technology and marketing, they will act as an enabler, allowing the business to move quickly while managing risk appropriately.

The Legal Counsel will help ensure that effective legal frameworks are in place across key areas including commercial partnerships, contract management, product development, governance, compliance and risk.

Key responsibilities include:

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a wide range of commercial agreements, including technology (SaaS, integrations, platform agreements), partnerships, supplier and marketing arrangements
• Supporting product and technology teams across the full product lifecycle, from development through to launch and iteration
• Advising on legal and regulatory considerations relevant to a growing and increasingly sophisticated business
• Partnering with marketing and go-to-market teams on campaigns, promotions, content and brand initiatives
• Assisting with the development and continuous improvement of legal processes, templates and frameworks to support scalability
• Working closely with stakeholders across the business to provide clear, pragmatic and commercially sound advice
• Contributing to broader strategic and corporate initiatives as the business prepares for its next phase of growth

Your Profile

The successful candidate will be a 3-5 year PQE lawyer with experience in commercial law, motivated by the opportunity to join a fast-growing, internationally focused technology business. You will ideally have gained exposure to a technology or scaling environment, either in private practice or in-house, and bring a pragmatic, commercially focused approach to your work.

You will be comfortable operating in a lean team and enjoy being close to the business, taking ownership of matters and contributing beyond your immediate remit. This role will suit someone who enjoys variety, works well in a dynamic environment and is keen to play a meaningful role in a growing organisation.

Your key attributes will include:

• A hands-on, collaborative style and the ability to work across a broad range of commercial legal matters
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, evolving environment, with the ability to maintain a big-picture perspective
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• A pragmatic approach, with the ability to balance legal risk and commercial outcomes
• Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and presenting advice in a clear and accessible way
• An approachable, down-to-earth style, with the ability to translate complex legal concepts into practical guidance
• A proactive mindset, curiosity and a genuine interest in being part of a growing business
• Comfort operating in a business where priorities can shift and at ease contributing across multiple areas within the broader legal function.

This role will suit an individual who is undaunted by a fast-paced, often changing and rapidly evolving business where they will wear multiple hats within the legal function.

Ambitious and collaborative, you will be attracted by the opportunity to work within an extremely high-performing and impressive legal team. For the right person, this represents a once-in-a-career opportunity to become part of an organisation still in its early stages of evolution and where your career journey could be without limits.

This is a genuinely unique opportunity to build an exceptional career with a great business.
