I help lawyers navigate career opportunities across in-house, practice & government | Former Lawyer | Founding Partner of Peppercorn Recruitment

Why this role?

Make your legal career count. Join a purpose-led organisation doing meaningful work in the community, while gaining exposure to a broad mix of legal matters and working as part of a genuinely collaborative and capable in-house team.

About the organisation:

This growing not-for-profit has a clear mission and strong momentum. With a values-led culture and an engaged leadership team, it’s an organisation that truly lives its purpose. The legal, governance and risk functions are well-resourced and respected across the business, and have matured significantly in recent years - creating a great platform for you to contribute meaningfully.

The opportunity:

Working closely with the Head of Legal and a team of experienced legal professionals, you'll enjoy variety, autonomy and the chance to work across a broad legal remit. This is a hands-on, commercial in-house role - ideal for a lawyer who enjoys balancing legal risk with practical, solutions-focused advice.

Your work will span:

* Contract review and negotiation across a wide range of commercial matters;
* Advising on privacy, employment, IP, technology, property and leasing;
* Supporting strategic projects and organisational initiatives with legal input;
* Assisting with dispute resolution and litigation management;
* Contributing to internal education and legal training programs;
* Partnering with the broader business to simplify legal concepts and manage risk.

About you:

You’re a commercially minded lawyer with at ideally 3 or more years’ post admission experience in commercial, corporate or property law - whether in private practice or already in-house. You bring:

* A current, unrestricted QLD practising certificate;
* Strong judgment and the ability to navigate grey areas with confidence;
* Great communication skills and a collaborative approach;
* A knack for distilling complex legal issues into plain language;
* A genuine interest in the mission of the organisation.
* Competitive package: ~$140k incl super + short-term incentive + NFP salary packaging;
* 2 days WFH and a flexible, mature working culture;
* Supportive legal team with depth, experience and a great reputation internally;
* Varied, high-quality in-house work with exposure across the business;
* Be part of something bigger - your work will directly support positive community outcomes.
