A bit about your role

As Legal Counsel, you will provide proactive, commercially focused legal support across a broad range of matters, including consumer protection, marketing compliance, and contractual terms of supply with retail service providers.

You are collaborative and pragmatic, with a strong understanding of consumer and competition law and a genuine interest in the legal frameworks that shape the Telco industry.
