Canberra, ACT, Australia Aldermane Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Lawyer to join our team at Aldermane, a leading New Law firm that delivers cutting-edge defence projects and major Government programs. As a Senior Lawyer, you will be responsible for advising on procurement, commercial law, and contracting issues, including procurement options, policy, and planning, commercial strategy, tender and scope development, contract drafting, and contract delivery and management.

You will work directly with our clients to resolve major contracting, strategic, and security issues, and contribute to the day-to-day management and administration of a team of junior personnel. Your expertise will be essential in delivering nationally significant and high-profile projects for the defence of Australia in the growing maritime, air, land, space, and joint domains.

About You

We are looking for a people-first person who brings a common-sense mindset to their work and adopts an approachable style in their professional interactions. You will be self-motivated and keen to learn from top-tier lawyers who are the best at what they do. Ideally, you will have 5-8 years' experience in Government procurement or projects, contract law, procurement, or commercial arrangements in a boutique or large legal or consulting firm, or Government department.

Relevant experience could include commercial and contract law, probity, evaluations, approach-to-market development and tendering, negotiations, and procurement and contract management. You will either be an existing Senior Associate or Special counsel or an exceptional Associate who is ready to take the leap in their career.

Mandatory Requirements

Please note that an AGSVA-issued security clearance is essential for this role. Applicants must be Australian citizens and hold an active NV1 clearance at minimum. Baseline clearances may be considered for exceptional candidates.

What We Offer

By joining our team, you will be rewarded with market-leading remuneration, genuine learning and development opportunities, flexible working arrangements, mentoring, and a culture and community that aligns with our core values of honesty, community, and helping others.
