What will the role of Senior Legal Counsel at a high-growth, tech-driven global business mean for you?
As Senior Legal Counsel, you’ll be the key point of contact across the business for legal matters that influence strategic decisions, commercial growth and brand protection.
You’ll have the autonomy to run matters end-to-end, while also collaborating with senior leadership, mentoring junior team members, and helping establish legal best practice across the organisation.
This opportunity will provide access to complex and rewarding work across gaming regulation, IP, sponsorship and affiliate agreements, and high-value commercial contracting.
You’ll also help shape corporate governance practices and contribute to innovative projects in one of Australia’s most exciting tech environments.
