Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Ablethorpe Recruitment Full time

Ablethorpe Recruitment is proud to present a rare opportunity for a talented commercial lawyer to join the award-winning in house legal team at IFM Investors.

With over A$221 billion of funds under management, IFM Investors is a leading provider of global investment services to institutional investors. Based in Melbourne, the company operates from offices in Sydney, New York, London, Berlin, Zurich, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, amongst others.

This role offers a unique chance to learn from the ground up and gain insight into the firm's entire APAC corporate business. Working closely with a talented Senior Legal Counsel and the broader team, you will enjoy a variety of work, providing legal support across the organisation.

You will collaborate with stakeholders across the business to understand their commercial drivers in procurement and provide legal advice on corporate and commercial matters. This will involve reviewing, drafting, and negotiating a broad range of procurement contracts, including consulting and services agreements, IT contracts, and marketing agreements.

The ideal candidate will have 4-6 years' post-qualification experience gained in a respected law firm and/or in-house (e.g., through a secondment). You will bring strong drafting, negotiation, and verbal and written communication skills, with experience in drafting procurement contracts being highly regarded.

In addition to your technical expertise, you will offer a can-do, hands-on attitude, be curious to learn, and keen to collaborate across the legal team. With attractive remuneration and bonus participation on offer, this is an excellent opportunity for a motivated and ambitious lawyer to take their career to the next level.
