The Opportunity:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced professional to join our Risk and Compliance team as a Senior Advisor in our Sydney, Brisbane, or Perth offices.

As a Senior Advisor, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the firm meets its global strategy by working closely with the Risk and Compliance management team to conduct comprehensive conflict and other assessments related to the inception of new and existing business.

You will be responsible for ensuring the firm meets its obligations in relation to conflicts of interest and compliance issues worldwide.

About You:

To be successful in this role, you will have the following skills and experience:

  • Ability to demonstrate good judgment and business awareness; ability to put an argument across in a clear, articulate way to the partnership and to senior management; requires excellent negotiation skills.
  • Keen interest in knowing the business and lateral/analytical thinking: exposure to firm-wide legal practices will involve exposure to various types of high profile commercial deals.
  • Discrete and professional as the information will be confidential and sensitive.
  • Strong interpersonal skills, able to liaise effectively at all levels across the firm and offices.
  • Good team spirit: assist others when necessary with the resolution of issues in a diplomatic manner. Able to lead by example.
  • Commitment to supporting the team as a global function and ability to strengthen those connections globally.
  • Ability to use own judgment to come to decisions but also aware of when issues need to be escalated.
  • Flexible and able to adapt to new situations, processes and technology.

What makes Ashurst a great place to work?

We offer a range of benefits, including competitive remuneration, flexible working, complimentary gym memberships, corporate health plans, and a global professional development offering for all employees.

We are committed to delivering positive impacts to our communities through our Social Impact programme, with a strong emphasis on working with First Nations people through our pro bono practice.

We aim to recruit, retain and promote the best people from the widest possible talent pools. We are committed to offering a safe and welcoming environment for all employees to ensure they are supported to work at their best.

Beyond this, what sets Ashurst apart from others is our global strength, our drive to innovate and collaborate, and our commitment to excellence. It is these values that make Ashurst a unique place to work.
