JOB DESCRIPTION

We’ve been trusted to serve Aussie communities since 1914 and grown to become a top 30-listed on the ASX with over 115,000 team members and a portfolio of iconic brands. At Coles Group, you’ll not only get to make a difference to millions of Aussie lives—you’ll also get to see your impact.

Are you a seasoned legal professional with a passion for employment law and workplace relations? Coles is looking for a dynamic Legal Counsel to join our team on a 9-month fixed term contract until the 27th of June 2025. This is your chance to make a significant impact by advising on key governance and compliance projects and supporting the delivery of the Respect@Work initiative. 

What You'll Do:

In this role, you'll be at the forefront of our legal team, providing strategic advice on P&C governance and compliance projects, as well as handling cyclical governance activities and ad hoc queries. You'll play a crucial role in the organisation-wide delivery of the Respect@Work project, ensuring we meet our commitments and report on progress. Your expertise will be invaluable as you provide legal advice to the P&C function and other business units on employment law and workplace relations matters. You'll manage employment law litigation on behalf of Coles, including internal management of individual team member litigation, appearance work, and briefing external legal counsel when necessary. 

What We're Looking For: 

  • A minimum of 5 years PQE in employment law, governance, policy development, and litigation. 
  • Proven experience managing complex workplace matters and projects in large organisations. 
  • Strong advocacy and representation skills in courts and tribunals. 
  • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing abilities. 
  • A legal qualification and a valid practicing certificate.
