- Work with other legal writers across the Practical Guidance team
- Autonomy to drive content plans and priorities for the digital delivery of workplace and WHS law content to private practice and in-house lawyers, barristers, government and regulatory bodies, and academics

**Requirements**:

- 3+ years PQE with a keen interest in writing, content creation and legal research
- Experience in an Australian mid to top tier law firm or in-house counsel role or equivalent
- A strong practice background in Employment and WHS law
- Excellent communication and plain-English writing skills with high level of accuracy and attention to detail
