About the Role


We are seeking a top-notch superannuation lawyer to join our close-knit team of respected specialists. As a Lead Superannuation Legal Specialist, you will be empowered to grow your career and contribute from day one in an organisation that supports your mental, physical, and financial wellbeing.


The role is accountable for providing legal advice to the Board, Board committees, and across all business units on all areas of the law, with a focus on superannuation law, financial services law, trust law, licensing, and the UniSuper trust deed.


Main Responsibilities

  • Respond to specific queries raised by the business and proactively identify legal issues requiring consideration and advice
  • Conduct training on legal issues or regulatory reforms, or provide input to training developed by the compliance function
  • Identify a course of action in situations lacking legal clarity, ensuring a reasonably open path in the face of legal uncertainty
  • Brief and consult with the Head of Legal Advisory and General Counsel on legal issues of strategic significance, high risk, or high likelihood of legal breach, litigation, or regulator involvement

About You


In this exciting new role, you will be an integral part of the transformative journey that shapes how we deliver exceptional customer experiences and where our customers need us most. For this reason, we are looking for someone who has experience working in a fast-moving transformation environment and is comfortable working with a degree of ambiguity.


You will bring expertise in superannuation, financial services, and advice laws and regulations, with a special focus on both defined benefit and accumulation funds. Strong leadership and guidance skills for the Legal and Risk & Legal teams, particularly in an in-house environment, are also essential.

  • A personal development budget of $1500 to support employees in their professional growth
  • Exceptional parental leave to support employees in balancing their work and family responsibilities
  • Mental, physical, and financial well-being initiatives
