Driven by a multidisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, sports scientists, designers, developers and engineers, VALD's suite of systems offer unparalleled insight into human movement, performance, injury risk and rehabilitation.

About the role

This is an exciting time to join one of the fastest growing sports and health technology companies in the world, working on a broad range of legal matters supporting VALD's vision to democratize access to human measurement technology.

This role will report directly to VALD's CFO and General Counsel and play a crucial part in providing expert legal advice. As a result, you will have an opportunity to see the inner workings of a fast-growing technology company.

What will you do?

You will negotiate, draft and review commercial contracts, manage disputes, and offer strategic legal guidance across multiple departments.

This role provides an opportunity for a collaborative, enthusiastic individual to join our team and performing the following tasks:

  • Provide day-to-day legal support on a wide range of corporate and commercial matters, including transactional work, client and supplier agreements, intellectual property matters and governance matters.
  • You will work collaboratively with stakeholders across the business and provide legal advice on corporate and commercial matters.
  • Manage a diverse and complex workload, including overseeing and managing disputes or claims related to business operations, working with external counsel when necessary.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, locally and abroad.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to define clear legal requirements for the implementation of their respective roadmaps.
  • Prepared materials and led legal discussions with internal and external stakeholders, including the Board, on key legal matters.

About you

To qualify for the role, there are some basic minimum requirements:

  • You have a law degree and unrestricted Australian Practising Certificate.
  • You have between 3 to 6 years' PQE with a mid or top-tier firm or in-house.
  • You have experience working on corporate and commercial work.

To be successful in this role, you should demonstrate:

  • A keen intellect with energy and enthusiasm to learn and grow with the business.
  • Effective communication skills (both written and oral).
  • Clear and concise drafting abilities with strong attention to detail.
  • A pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach who focuses on the commercial outcome.
  • The ability to work effectively in a team and the capability to work autonomously.

Why VALD?

You will be working in a fast-paced, dynamic company that has a culture around the belief that anything is possible with hard work, creativity, dedication, and good timing.

VALD's best asset is not our technology but our people and culture. We have a range of benefits we offer to our team. Some of our perks and benefits include:

  • Competitive market salary in a down-to-earth, inclusive and vibrant work environment.
  • Learning from a range of high-performing individuals and teams across a range of disciplines and geographies doing interesting and varied work.
  • Flexible working environment, with a casual dress code – no more corporate attire, T–shirts are the norm. You can also say goodbye to billable hours and timesheets.
  • Table tennis, basketball court, end-of-trip facilities with bike and scooter racks if that's your thing.
  • Chefs that prepare you delicious fresh breakfast and lunch every day
  • On-site barista to make your coffee just as you like it.
  • Team gym, remedial massage therapy, subsidised access to physiotherapy and exercise physiology services.
