Legal Counsel – Global Technology Group
Brisbane | Newly Created Role | 4–8 PAE
A rare opportunity has come up for a mid-level lawyer to step into a newly created Legal Counsel position within a major global technology & software group.
This is a multi-billion-dollar, listed organisation with over 50,000 employees globally, that owns a diverse portfolio of software and technology businesses and continues to grow through strategic acquisitions.
If you’re looking for a role with genuine ownership, variety, and exposure to senior decision-makers, this could be a great opportunity.
Why This Role?
* Newly created position with autonomy and influence from day one
* Work directly with senior executives across Australia, NZ, the UK, and the US
* Support a fast-growing portfolio of technology businesses
* Exposure to a broad range of commercial and corporate matters
* A business with a long-term acquisition strategy and strong financial backing
* Flexibility: 3 days in the office + 2 days WFH
* Attractive package: ~$170k + shares + 20–40% bonus
The Work
This role offers real breadth. You’ll be the key legal advisor across a wide portfolio, supporting both day-to-day operations and strategic initiatives. Work will include:
* Reviewing and negotiating a wide range of commercial and technology contracts
* IP, licensing and software agreements
* Government and private-sector procurement
* Leasing, insurance and risk matters
* Supporting cross-border transactions and acquisitions
* Advising on regulatory, compliance and corporate governance issues
* Managing external counsel where required
You’ll join a highly capable leadership team who value commercial advice, clear communication and practical outcomes.
About You
We’re looking for a lawyer with around 4–8 years' PAE, ideally with experience across any of the following areas:
* Commercial contracts
* Technology, SaaS or IP
* Corporate / transactional work (nice but not essential)
You might come from private practice, in-house, or a mix. What matters most is that you’re comfortable running matters independently, working with pace, and partnering closely with non-lawyers.
Culture
You’ll be joining a collaborative, low-ego leadership team inside a business that values autonomy, accountability and ongoing growth. Despite being part of a large global group, the local team remains agile, pragmatic and genuinely down-to-earth.
