  • Manage customer contracts in Australia and New Zealand.
  • Support mergers, acquisitions, and corporate transactions as needed.
  • Assist with the legal aspects of funding transactions, including due diligence and document preparation.
  • Advise on ad-hoc legal matters as they arise.
  • Monitor regulatory changes and report relevant updates to the Head of Operational Risk, Legal and Compliance.
  • Identify and mitigate legal risks associated with Prospa’s operations.
  • Develop and implement legal policies and procedures to protect Prospa’s interests.
  • Manage relationships with external counsel for outsourced matters.
  • Provide administrative support for company secretarial services, ensuring timely management papers and attending ARC meetings.
  • Offer ad hoc assistance for Board meetings as needed.
  • Prepare and deliver legal training as requested.

What you’ll need to succeed

  • Tertiary qualifications in law and an Australia qualified lawyer with a current practising certificate.
  • Demonstrated 3-5 years PQE with a recognised Australian law firm or in-house legal team.
  • Strong understanding of contract law and corporate law.
  • Experience in the financial legal and regulatory environment preferred.
  • Experience dealing with technology vendors and contracts would be advantageous.
  • Attention to detail, particularly in relation to contract reviews, whilst maintaining an understanding of the commercial context.
  • Demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced environment, with a high level of organisational skills.
  • Maturity and confidence to liaise with senior executives and Board members.

Don’t let a confidence gap get in the way of submitting your application.
