This is a senior-level opportunity where your expertise will directly influence strategic decision-making and risk management across the Oceania Region.

  • Training and development: Elevate contract literacy and legal awareness through workshops, training sessions, and resource development.
  • Major projects and M&A: Provide counsel on regional initiatives, including mergers and acquisitions, ensuring smooth execution and integration.
  • Regional collaboration: Partner with the South-East Asia & Oceania Holding Team and cross-functional groups to deliver holistic legal strategies.
  • Compliance oversight: Ensure adherence to corporate governance standards and legal obligations across Oceania entities.

Requirements

  • Minimum 6 years' PQE with strong experience in drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, ideally within construction or oil & gas.
  • Current unrestricted practicing certificate.
  • Proven ability to operate at a senior level, balancing strategic oversight with hands-on execution.
  • Exceptional communication skills, with confidence in high-pressure negotiations.
  • Integrity-driven, solution-focused, and commercially astute.
  • Background in private practice or in-house corporate counsel.

This is a 12-month contract with immediate start, offering stability, international exposure, and the chance to make a significant impact in a global organisation. Based conveniently in the Western Suburbs, you'll join a company that values and rewards high performance.

And with Christmas approaching, you'll enjoy the flexibility to take two weeks off to recharge or continue working through the festive period — the choice is yours.
