Reporting directly to the CEO, this role will be responsible for overseeing the legal, regulatory, and compliance side of our client's business in Australia.
Key responsibilities
The Head of Legal and Regulatory will be responsible for leading and growing the legal function and will be a key member of the company's senior leadership team, providing legal and strategic guidance to the Australian business unit of an international group.
This is a greenfield role and the new Head of Legal and Regulatory must be comfortable establishing a new function and developing new processes and policies in line with best practice to achieve organisational objectives and ensure the efficient and effective delivery of legal services.
The key responsibilities for this role include:
- Advising the CEO and Board on legal and regulatory matters relating to the company's Australian operations
- Taking the lead on complex negotiations with various partners, governmental authorities, and industry bodies
- Playing a central role in the management of the relationship with the company's joint venture partner and other key external stakeholders
- Ensuring compliance with the company's legal and regulatory obligations, including with respect to Australian environmental standards
- Identifying opportunities for the business and providing guidance to enable the company to derive maximum benefit
- Improving internal processes in relation to contracting, procurement, and risk management to increase operational efficiency and mitigate risk

- Select and manage relationships with external counsel
- Implement and oversee corporate governance frameworks and initiatives in line with industry best practices
- Perform and/or manage the company secretarial function

- Law degree and admission to practice in an Australian jurisdiction with a current, unrestricted practicing certificate (or eligibility to apply for one immediately)
- Minimum of 10 years' post-admission experience within the mining and resources sector gained in a leading law firm and/or in-house legal team
Personal attributes
- Exceptional communication skills and the ability to engage effectively at all levels
- Leadership skills and the ability to manage and influence stakeholders
- Strong commercial and financial acumen
- While experience in a greenfield General Counsel role would be seen favorably, this opportunity would also be perfect for a senior lawyer looking to take the next step in their career
