About you
Commercially minded and admitted as an Australian legal practitioner, you have operated at senior associate or special counsel level, and your experience includes working in a commercial publicly listed environment. This has involved extensive responsibility for contract management, ideally in the building, civil or construction sectors, demonstrating your confidence in engaging with technically complex projects in a commercial context. You have strong knowledge of Australian and/or New Zealand contract law and regulatory requirements, and are adept at providing clear, timely advice to stakeholders at all levels. Analytical, detail-oriented and pragmatic, you identify risk and translate these into workable outcomes rather than offering theoretical guidance. You relish the opportunity to analyse real situations to form solutions in consultation with internal stakeholders, and to play a vital role in helping a pioneering and sector-leading organisation achieve its strategy growth objectives across the Oceania region.
