Requirements
  • Admitted to practise law in NSW, Australia with a current practising certificate, and have around ~2–4 years' PQE
  • Trained somewhere that held you to a high standard, and spent most of your time on commercial, tech, data, consumer-credit or regulatory work
  • Worked in or alongside an in-house team (secondments count), so you're comfortable with ambiguity, limited supervision and speed
  • Negotiated commercial contracts end-to-end, directly with the other side and ideally without someone checking your work before it goes out
  • Built things other people use, such as playbooks, templates, automation and training
  • Use AI fluently and with discipline: fast, but you check what it gives you
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Own commercial contracting. End-to-end ownership of vendor, SaaS, supplier, referral, integration, collaboration and data-sharing agreements. Negotiate the ones that need a lawyer directly with the other side, keep vendor terms commercial without dropping Brighte’s protections, and make sure the DOA is followed and the right sign-offs are in place before anything is signed
  • Keep customer and product documentation right. Own the customer-facing credit and product documents, keep them current and aligned with consumer-credit regulation, coordinate origination-system updates with Product, and give fast, practical sign-off on disclosures and marketing within your authority
  • Partner with Risk & Compliance. Turn regulatory change into operational obligations and controls across responsible lending, design and distribution, privacy and consumer data. Support engagement with regulators and industry bodies, and run point on the occasional dispute, complaint or AFCA matter
  • Make fewer matters need a lawyer, and build self-serve capability. Sharpen templates, playbooks and thresholds, supervise AI-assisted review, run legal intake through Jira, and surface clear MI on what Legal is carrying. When the same question reaches you twice, fix the cause behind it rather than answering it again. Run targeted training so the business gets more right without you
  • Work AI-first. We’re serious about AI, and serious about doing it properly. In legal, judgement beats volume so you’ll use AI fluently to draft, review, summarise and triage, but you verify against the source (the legislation, the contract, the file), protect what’s privileged and confidential, and own every output
