About the Role

At LexisNexis Regulatory Compliance, we're transforming how organisations understand and meet their obligations through technology-driven innovation, legal expertise, and forward-looking regulatory insight.

We're looking for a legally qualified professional with a passion for the financial services sector, and an eye for detail and clarity, to lead the development of high-impact regulatory content. In this role, you'll sit at the intersection of law, innovation, and industry insight, shaping how some of Australia's largest businesses navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

You'll take charge of developing, curating, and refining content within our Financial Services portfolio, ensuring it's current, practical, and tailored to meet the evolving needs of customers. You'll work closely with authors, compliance officers, consultants, and internal stakeholders across sales, marketing, and editorial.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a legally trained professional with a passion for content, regulation, and innovation to drive thought leadership, influence industry best practice, and help businesses stay compliant with confidence.

  • Stakeholder Engagement: Cultivate and manage relationships with external contributors such as specialist lawyers, consultants, regulators, and professional bodies.
  • Sales & Marketing Enablement: Partner with internal teams to define product value propositions, support go-to-market plans, deliver training, and contribute to client presentations.
  • Revenue & Strategy: Support budgeting and revenue growth initiatives through new content proposals and adjacent market expansion.
  • Project Delivery: Drive authoring projects from initiation to delivery, ensuring quality and compliance standards are consistently met.
Requirements
  • University law degree or equivalent – legal and compliance education and experience preferred
  • 3+ years post-qualification experience (PQE), ideally in financial services, banking, insurance or legal/corporate compliance.
  • Demonstrated legal drafting and editing skills.
  • Strong understanding of how compliance content is used across legal and non-legal industries.

  • Strategic thinking with strong commercial acumen.
