Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Altera Digital Health Full time

Overview
Location: Adelaide / Melbourne.
Ready to move beyond the billable hour and make a tangible impact?
Altera Digital Health is a global leader in health technology, and we're expanding our Australian presence.
We're looking for a sharp, commercially minded lawyer to become a pivotal part of our local team.
This isn't your typical in-house role.
You'll be a true partner to the business, providing strategic legal guidance that directly shapes our commercial success and helps improve healthcare outcomes across Australia.
Based in either Adelaide or Melbourne, you'll have the autonomy to manage the Australian legal landscape while being part of a supportive global legal function.
Your Role
Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a wide range of agreements, including complex SaaS contracts, software licensing, and vendor partnerships.
You'll ensure our contracts are not just legally sound, but commercially sharp.
Acting as a trusted advisor to all parts of the business.
You'll translate complex legal issues into clear, practical advice that helps your colleagues make informed decisions.
Managing Risk Proactively: Identifying and mitigating potential legal and regulatory risks.
You'll work closely with our commercial teams to find solutions, not just problems.
Supporting Strategic Growth: Assisting with due diligence and other legal aspects of commercial transactions as our business continues to grow in the region.
Helping to refine our legal processes, policies, and templates to build a best-in-class legal function that is agile and fit for purpose.
About You
You are an Australian-qualified lawyer with a current practising certificate.
You have solid experience in corporate and commercial law (in-house or private practice) and are known for your pragmatic, business-focused advice.
Tech or health sector experience is a significant plus.
A skilled negotiator and communicator, you excel at partnering with commercial teams and translating complex legal issues into clear guidance.
You are highly organised, adaptable, and thrive on managing competing priorities in a dynamic environment.
Why Join Altera?
Meaningful Work:Join a global company making a real difference in the future of healthcare technology.
The work you do here matters.
Autonomy and Impact:Take ownership of the legal function for our growing Australian business.
See the direct impact of your advice and strategy.
Career Growth:As we expand in Australia, genuine opportunities for professional development and career progression will follow.
If you're a commercially-focused lawyer looking for a role where you can make your mark, we'd love to hear from you.
At Altera, we're committed to a culture of belonging where everyone feels valued and respected.
We welcome people from all walks of life to apply.
