**About the role**

Reporting into the Manager, Legal Services (Commercial, Property and Insurance), this role is a rare opportunity for someone desiring varied, challenging, career-enhancing work and the chance to make their mark in an organisation undergoing growth and transformation.

In this role you will provide expert legal advice and support in relation to commercial contracts (including ICT contracts), MOUs, leases, licences, procurement and probity, privacy and data protection, intellectual property, risk management and general compliance matters.

You will also assist with the Manager to administer the NHVR’s insurance program, including making claims, advising on policy coverage and assisting with the annual renewal process.

As a senior member of the NHVR’s Legal Services team, the Principal Legal Officer will:

- Mentor and train less experienced Legal Services team members
- Develop and maintain legal precedents
- Provide guidance and training about legal concepts to the rest of the organisation

You will also manage the engagement of external legal advisors, ensuring value for money and quality legal services are delivered on time and within budget.

**About You**

We’re excited to meet people who:

- Are admitted as a legal practitioner of the High Court or Supreme Court of a State or Territory
- Have at least 7 years’ experience as a legal practitioner in commercial and/or leasing (ideally for a large national or government tenant)
- Have worked in an in-house role in a commercial, government or statutory authority environment
- Have some mid-tier/top-tier law firm experience
- Are proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and SharePoint and Adobe Acrobat

Legal experience in insurance is desirable but not mandatory as on-the-job training can be provided.

You will demonstrate initiative and attention to detail, as well as an ability to work with mínimal supervision and contribute to the achievement of team goals. A positive and flexible attitude towards change and uncertainty and the ability to work in a fast paced, high-volume environment with multiple competing priorities and deadlines is essential.

Along with your excellent written and oral communication skills, you will have the ability to effectively negotiate with and influence a diverse range of people with a view of achieving desired outcomes and improving overall organisational maturity. An ability to develop and maintain constructive relationships with internal clients and external stakeholders will see you thrive in this role.
