Summary
Join a fast‑moving media & technology group where legal isn’t a back‑office function- it’s a strategic partner. This is a hands‑on commercial role for a solicitor who loves contracts, thrives in a collaborative environment, and wants real ownership across a global business.
What You’ll Do
You’ll be the go‑to legal partner for all things commercial contracting across Australia and the wider Group. Your work will directly support the Group CEO and the Commercial leadership team.
- Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements — NDAs, DPAs, supplier contracts, SaaS licence agreements, and contract variations.
- Act as the primary legal contact for commercial teams, supporting sales and revenue functions with clear, practical advice.
- Review RFP and tender documentation, collaborating closely with the CRO and commercial stakeholders.
- Engage directly with client legal teams to resolve contractual issues and negotiate points of dispute.
- Prepare executive summaries of key risks and commercial considerations using Salesforce.
- Maintain and improve legal templates, processes, and playbooks, ensuring consistency and compliance across the business.
- Manage supplier agreements and maintain the supplier matrix.
- Support compliance initiatives, including ISO accreditation, data protection reviews, and global regulatory updates.
- Partner with external counsel on specialised matters.
- Contribute to legal enablement, helping commercial teams understand contractual processes and best practices.
- Work on ad‑hoc legal projects, research, and company‑wide legislative updates.
What We’re Looking For
This role suits a solicitor who enjoys commercial contracting and wants to build a career in-house within a SaaS‑driven environment.
- 3+ years’ experience in commercial contracting, ideally within SaaS or a tech‑adjacent industry.
- Australian legal training or qualification (or equivalent experience with strong knowledge of the Australian legal landscape).
- In‑house or top‑tier/mid‑tier law firm experience, with exposure to fast‑paced environments.
- Experience reviewing SaaS agreements, G‑Cloud frameworks, or similar commercial structures.
- Strong negotiation skills and the ability to communicate clearly with both legal and non‑legal stakeholders.
- Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
- A proactive, solutions‑focused mindset — someone who takes initiative and enjoys improving processes.
- Energy, engagement, and genuine enthusiasm for the work. (This is a big one — the team values attitude as much as technical skill.)
- The ability to work independently as an individual contributor, while collaborating closely with senior leadership.
Why You’ll Love It
- A genuine pathway to Legal Counsel for the right performer - not guaranteed, but absolutely possible.
- Hybrid working (2–3 days in the office) in a diverse, friendly, and non‑bureaucratic culture.
- A business that values speed, clarity, and collaboration — no layers of hierarchy or gatekeeping.
- A role that blends commercial, operational, and compliance work — perfect for someone who wants breadth.
