Bendigo, Victoria, Australia Bendigo Bank Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

We've never been 'just a bank'. Just like you should never be 'just an employee'. We're united in our belief that inbanking, better can be bigger, and together we're making it happen.

It starts here. With Bendigo Bank… and you.

Bendigo Bank exists to feed into the prosperity of our customers and community. We know that as a bank we will only be successful if we focus first on the success of our customers, our people, communities, partners, suppliers, and shareholders.

Our Group Legal division provides legal advice and support to the Bank's business units, senior leaders, and executives on a broad variety of legal issues. We are looking for an accomplished Senior Legal Counsel to join the team full time or part time 4 days per week.

Reporting into the Head of Group Legal, you'll partner closely with the business as a trusted legal advisor to support strategic initiatives in a fast-paced and regulated environment. You'll also have the opportunity to assist with overall legal needs for major projects and transactions, such as regulatory changes and responses to identified risk exposures.

We're seeking a mid to senior level lawyer with demonstrated experience working in the financial services sector, ideally with specialised experience supporting large tenders, procurement and technology and an understanding of relevant prudential standards, including CPS234 and CPS230.

You'll be part of a team whose culture is based on trust and mutual respect, who work collaboratively and independently. The work you do will be impactful and your expertise will be valued by the business.

This role can be based in Adelaide, Bendigo, Melbourne or Sydney. We offer flexible work options that put our people first, and a hybrid model with a minimum requirement of 60% of your time per week in the office.

What you'll bring to the role

  • A legal qualification and admission to practice in Australia
  • Demonstrated previous experience in a similar role from within the Banking and Financial Services sector (private practice or in-house)
  • Highly developed relationship skills, able to build trust and confidence with senior executives and business partners
  • Excellent communication skills both written and verbal
  • Strong technical analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to interpret and explain complex legislation and to plan and implement policy and risk management strategies considering legislative and regulatory changes

So, why work with us?

  • Want big impact that matters? Here, you'll know your work directly benefits the customers and communities we all serve.
  • Want to be more than just a number? Join a team that truly values you - and that gets more and more diverse every day.
  • Want career opportunity AND flexibility? Achieve both here, where we know that balance and progression go hand in hand.

You'll also get access to a great range of benefits, including:

  • Hybrid work? Flexible hours? A compressed work week? Our flexible work options are designed to suit your life.
  • Health and wellbeing support, including discounted gym memberships, private health insurance options, and our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your immediate family members.

We're making
better
, bigger. And we'll get there with you.

Could you be our new Senior Legal Counsel? Now's the time to set your sights higher - on the future you deserve. Apply now Applications close Tuesday 23 September.

At Bendigo and Adelaide Bank we believe a diverse workforce supported by an inclusive culture is central to our success and we actively encourage applications from those who bring diversity of thought to our business. We support candidate requests for adjustment to accommodate an illness, injury, or disability to equitably participate in the selection process.
