Detail information about job Legal Counsel. Terms and conditions vacancy

  • In-house legal role for a junior or mid-level lawyer
  • Join an innovative tech company where your work matters
  • Great culture and flexible working environment

Who are we?
We are a leading tech company that exists to make business life easier. Our team is continually growing, inventing and disrupting conventions. We believe business can do amazing things and it’s our job to help them. This is MYOB.

The opportunity
You will be a part of a growing in-house legal team that provides advice to support MYOB’s Australian and New Zealand operations. Together, we enable everyone at MYOB to carry out the company’s vision of helping businesses succeed. We work across a range of law areas relevant to a tech company, including commercial/corporate, technology, privacy, intellectual property, consumer law, financial services, property, employment and dispute resolution.

The role

  • Assist in handling a wide variety of legal matters for the business across Australia and New Zealand
  • Work with internal stakeholders across all levels of the business to draft, review and negotiate a variety of commercial agreements including procurement, technology, sales, distribution and licensing contracts
  • Assist to identify and mitigate risk across the region with respect to privacy, data protection, employment, consumer and electronic communications laws
  • Advise on the roll out of new products and services
  • Work with the legal team to identify new ways to simplify, collaborate and innovate
  • Provide support to the business units across the region by building relationships and collaborating with multiple teams to manage legal matters and resolve issue

What you will bring
We’re looking for mid-level or junior lawyer with experience or an interest in at least one of the following areas of law: commercial contracts; corporate advisory; IT; IP; privacy; consumer law; or financial services. In-house or secondment experience would be an asset but is not essential. What is essential is a willingness to learn and get involved, cut through the legal jargon and give commercially-minded legal advice.

What else do you need to know
MYOB has an empowering and supportive culture. You will be part of a high performing, collaborative team who take their work seriously but not themselves. You will be supported by the General Counsel and senior lawyers within the team, as well as working with external specialist lawyers. We will work with you to shape the role to build on your strengths and interests.

We believe that ongoing learning is important for all professionals. You will have access to MYOB’s award-winning Learning Lab talent development program, as well as formal and informal legal professional development opportunities.

We support flexible work arrangements.

The role will be notionally based in MYOB’s purpose-built Glen Waverley office. We also have a recently expanded Richmond office and there is flexibility to also work from that location. Our Melbourne operations will be consolidated into a new, state of the art Richmond office in 2020.

If you want to work and collaborate where opinions are valued and your ideas can make a difference, you should work at MYOB.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
