Job description

We’re partnering with a well-established general insurer to appoint a Legal Counsel into their Melbourne-based in‑house team.

  • Work closely with Risk & Governance on cross‑functional matters
  • Drive continuous improvement across legal processes, workflows and knowledge management

The ideal candidate

  • Australian qualified lawyer with an unrestricted practising certificate
  • 2 - 5 PQE (flexible) across financial services, insurance or corporate/commercial law
  • Strong understanding of regulatory frameworks (AFSL, Corporations Act, insurance)
  • Ability to translate technical legal advice into clear, commercial outcomes
  • Confident stakeholder manager with strong communication skills
  • Comfortable working autonomously in a lean, collaborative team

Key selling points

  • Stable, well‑backed organisation with global backing
  • Flexible hybrid working environment
  • Genuine opportunity to grow and shape your in‑house legal career
