  • Provide legal advice on relevant regulation including the National Consumer Credit Act and Privacy Act 1988 under supervision and guidance of General Counsel ANZ and Director, Compliance.
  • Ensure commercial agreements comply with Zip's regulatory requirements and that obligations flow through to operationalisation to ensure ongoing compliance.
  • Drive engagement with commercial teams to strategically understand deals and ensure agreements are commercially sound and can be operationally supported.
  • Manage external law firms in their provision of legal advice.
  • Have a deep understanding of Zip's products and business operations.

What you'll bring to the team:

  • 3-7 years of prior legal experience from a top-tier law firm and/or in-house counsel position.
  • Experience in reviewing, drafting, negotiation and closing of commercial/transactional agreements.
  • Experience with fintech, consumer finance and regulatory laws/regimes in AU (and New Zealand is a plus).
  • Strong communication, presentation and organisational skills.
  • Ability to raise potential risks and concerns regarding the decisions of others appropriately, in a way that generates alignment to enable successful launch of products/features/solutions.
  • Strong internal and external client interfacing skills.
  • Ability to prioritize a workload in a fast-paced culture while delivering sound legal advice, with the support of the General Counsel, ANZ.
  • A can-do attitude and solutions to the table.
  • An aptitude for identifying and managing risks.
  • Our values in your DNA: Customer First, Own It, Stronger Together and Change the Game.

What you'll get in return:

As we write this next exciting chapter in our story, we will continue to move at pace and embrace change. For you, this might mean opportunities to learn new skills with hands-on experience, broader responsibilities, or the buzz of seeing your work impact customers faster.

Zip is a place where you'll get out exactly what you put in. When you join the team, we'll do our best to make sure you can be yourself and surround yourself with smart, friendly colleagues and leaders who have your back, so that you can make the big things happen.
