To be successful:

  • You will be admitted as a legal practitioner in Australia (ideally 3-5 years PQE).
  • Private practice or in-house experience which involved vendor contract reviews and negotiations, including in relation to IT contracts, would be advantageous.
  • You will have strong oral and written communication skills and the ability to draft with limited supervision.
  • Knowledge of privacy, data protection, information and technology law including APRA and other prudential standards which apply to Australian ADI’s, Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules will be considered favourably.
  • You will be a person who can thrive in our workplace and is a good cultural fit - someone who exemplifies personal drive, integrity, resilience, is empathetic and respectful.

Working with us is fun and fast-paced, and we are seeking top talent to take us where we want to go. BOQ Group people are easy to spot. They're smart, energetic, full of ideas and passionate about what they do. If this sounds like you and you're looking to join a multi-brand on the forefront of financial services, we'd love to chat
