Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Westpac Banking Corporation Full time
Paralegal

  • Permanent, full time
  • Sydney location
  • Supportive team environment

How will I help?
We have an excellent opportunity for a Paralegal to join the WIB Financial Markets Legal Team.


You will be involved in preparing and negotiating key Financial Markets agreements (in particular, ISDA agreements covering derivatives transactions) and associated activities, including systems updating and reporting.

This is a great opportunity to gain exposure to a highly sophisticated business, support a premium institutional client base and acquire a sought-after skillset.


Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Drafting, reviewing, and working with the business to negotiate agreements.
  • Working closely with financial markets lawyers as required.
  • Updating key bank systems with relevant information and participating in associated risk control and data quality activities.

What's in it for me?
You'll play a significant part of the future of a business that has been around for 200 years. Our purpose is of creating better futures together. So, we'll back you in the development of your career, internal career prospects, and flexible working. You'll also keep learning to grown, backed by a fantastic team of people with a can-do, supportive structure.


Whatever shape your family takes, we offer generous paid and unpaid parental leave for your nominated primary and support carers.

This includes leave to organise adoptions, surrogacy, and foster care arrangements.

And we continue to pay your super contributions while you take all the time you need to get your new family settled.


What do I need?


This role would suit a law graduate in the process of becoming qualified as a legal practitioner, an experienced paralegal, or a law student with a degree of professional experience who is looking to develop their drafting and negotiation skills and gain experience in financial services.

Ideally you will be able to commit to full time hours.

  • Strong interpersonal skills including the ability to build and sustain key relationships with business partners, WIB Legal colleagues and law firms
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
  • A selfstarter, with initiative to drive matters forward and willingness to learn
  • Strong time management skills
  • Available to work a later start and finish time each day to support the Financial Markets business in London during their morning hours
  • Experience with ISDA negotiations as a Paralegal will be looked upon favourably but is not essential for the role.
  • Experience in helping to coordinate a team and/or key business processes will also be looked upon favourably but is not essential.

What is it like to work there?
We aim to provide one big, supportive team to help us achieve our purpose of creating better futures together.

As well as competitive remuneration and a great culture, joining the Westpac family means you will get some of the best banking, wealth and insurance benefits in the market.


We back our employees by helping them work towards industry-recognised qualifications, using online learning, training modules and career planning tools for you to grow with us.

We will even pay you to do volunteer or community work.


As an equal opportunity employer, we are proud to have created a culture and work environment that values diversity and flexibility - and champions inclusion.
