3 weeks ago

Brisbane, Australia Bank of Queensland Full time

**About the Role**
An exciting opportunity to join BOQ Group (which includes Bank of Queensland, Virgin Money Australia and ME Bank) as Legal Counsel in Retail Bank has arrived By joining the digital bank of the future, you will be able to make a difference with curiosity and optimism by delivering legal advice to retail business units, adding significant value to our organisation.

Along our journey to become the digital bank of the future, we are strengthening, simplifying, and digitising, whilst ensuring our foundations are in place. With foundation comes strength, and we are building strong and stable teams to work across our multi-branded business. This includes elevating our BOQ Group Legal culture, providing you a large opportunity to contribute to the overarching frameworks and be paramount in supporting our transformation into a digital bank.

We are looking for Legal Counsel to join us on a permanent basis within our Retail Bank landscape, where you will support the Retail Legal team to deliver practical and commercial legal advice across all retail business units within BOQ Group. This role sits across multiple brands including Bank of Queensland, Virgin Money Australia and ME Bank, and supports both corporate and owner managed branches.

You will work autonomously and as part of a team with senior legal counsel to provide commercial, quality and timely legal advice (including mitigating actions) on a range of matters relating to Retail Bank products and services across the Retail brands. This will include legislative and regulatory interpretive matters, time sensitive customer queries, review of marketing and promotional activities, mandatory breach reporting matters and customer remediation programs.

This is a challenging and exciting role with a wide range of opportunities to help you take your career to the next level. We are committed to helping you learn and grow to become a top-tier professional across the legal domain and will seek to consistently encourage and help you achieve your career growth plans.

**About you**
Holding admission as a legal practitioner in Australia (at least 3-5 years PQE), you’ll join us with experience in an in-house role and/or private practice preferably within the banking and finance industry. You are passionate about creating a positive stakeholder experience, where you will have the ability to build trust and rapport with internal and external stakeholders through a positive and proactive approach. You will have relevant experience in advising on retail banking matters, and have a practical working knowledge of key legislation, rules, codes of practice and guidance, including the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, Corporations Act, ASIC Act, Privacy Act, Banking Code of Practice and EPayments Code. This entails an understanding of the responsibilities and approach of key regulators (ASIC, APRA and AUSTRAC).

We operate in a highly regulated, fast-paced environment so we are seeking a strategic thinker who can problem-solve in a variety of situations and timeframes. This will require you to have sound judgement in decision making and strong advisory skills, supported by the ability to consider commercial outcomes. Your time management skills will always be displayed, where you are organised and hold the ability to prioritise and meet tight deadlines.

Working for us is energetic and fast-paced, and we need top talent to take us where we want to go. BOQ Group people are easy to spot. They're smart, enthusiastic, full of ideas and passionate about what they do. If this sounds like you and you're looking to join a brand on the forefront of financial services and elevate your career, we'd love to have a conversation
