Strong commercial awareness and judgement, with the ability to balance both legal and commercial outcomes

Ability to adapt and respond to challenges in a fast paced, dynamic environment

Positive attitude and both a legal team and CA champion

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

Our employees at Cricket are gifted an additional week leave at the end of season As a CA employee, you will also have other benefits including:
Tickets to the Cricket for you to take your friends and family and experience Australia's favourite game

A flexible working environment, meaning we strike the balance of what you need and what works for the business (this isn't limited to remotely working)

Discounts from our partners such as Asics and salary packaging options

A multitude of leave types including paid parental leave and volunteer leave

THE IMPORTANT STUFF
Cricket is a sport for all Australians and our workplace reflects that. We recognise our differences are our strength and a diverse and inclusive workforce is fundamental to our success.

We strongly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, people of colour, women, LGBTIQ+ people, people with diverse religious beliefs and people with a disability to apply.
