THE OPPORTUNITY

As part of our continued growth, Kilcoy Global Foods is expanding its Legal Team and seeking a new Legal Counsel.

Our Legal Team is committed to delivering high-quality legal and governance solutions that the business values and relies upon. We do this by providing timely, strategic, and practical support across all areas of the business.

In this role, you will work closely with the Head of Legal and Corporate Affairs, providing commercially relevant legal advice on a broad range of business issues, with a strong focus on contractual and compliance matters. Reporting directly to the Head of Legal and Corporate Affairs, you will have the opportunity to work independently while being supported by an experienced leader.

ABOUT YOU

You will be a commercially minded legal professional with proven experience in delivering high-quality, pragmatic advice in a fast-paced environment. With excellent communication and relationship-building skills, you will be able to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels of the business.

To be successful, you will bring:

  • A Bachelor of Laws (essential), or a dual degree in Law and a relevant discipline.
  • 3–8 years' post-admission experience, gained within a reputable commercial firm and/or in-house environment.
  • Strong skills in contract drafting, negotiation, execution, and legal advisory.
  • Demonstrated project, matter, and contract management capability.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • The ability to influence and build relationships across a diverse stakeholder group.
  • Results orientation and the ability to work independently.
  • Experience in Agriculture or FMCG is desirable, but not essential.
WHAT WE OFFER

Joining Kilcoy Global Foods means becoming part of a fast-growing, global organisation with a supportive and dynamic culture. Unlike private practice, there are no billable hours—you will focus on meaningful, business-impacting work. 

You can also have your choice of office location; HQ Sunshine Coast or at one of our Victorian Sites.

You will also benefit from:

  • Career development opportunities.
  • A collaborative and supportive team environment.
  • A business that values your expertise and contributions.
  • The stability of a growing company with consistent year-on-year growth of 20% and sales exceeding $2 billion.
