- Lead sensitive and complex negotiations.

- A minimum of 7 years’ experience as a legal practitioner specializing in employment/IR law within commercial or government environments.
- Admission as a legal practitioner in the High Court or Supreme Court of a State or Territory.

- A flexible work environment, including the option to work from home two days per week.
- Additional leave during the Christmas and year-end period.
