Legal Counsel

About Us

At Aussie Broadband, things are done a little bit differently. Our goal is to be the telco people love – customers, team members, shareholders and all stakeholders. We do this by living and breathing our values in everything we do, that's the Aussie way. As a B Corp Certified company, we hold ourselves to the highest standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. We're proud to have been named one of Australia's Top Employers by HRD magazine.

Listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX: ABB), the Aussie Broadband Group collectively supplies more than 1 million telecommunications services, operates two Tier 1 voice providers in Australia and owns fibre infrastructure.

Our culture is built on five values that guide everything we do:

Don't be ordinary, be awesome | Think BIG | No bullsh*t | Be good to people | Have fun

At Aussie Broadband, our purpose is to change the game, and we're looking for a commercially minded Legal Counsel to help us do just that. As part of our Legal team, you'll work closely with stakeholders across the business, providing practical legal advice that supports commercial outcomes while appropriately managing risk.

This role offers the opportunity to work across a diverse range of commercial, corporate and governance matters, partnering closely with teams across Enterprise & Government, Wholesale, Business, Marketing, Projects, Risk & Compliance, Strategy, and senior leadership to support key business initiatives and strategic outcomes.

This is a 12-Month Maximum-Term Contract, with the possibility of transitioning into a permanent role.

What You'll Do:

As Legal Counsel, you'll play an important role in supporting the business on a variety of legal, regulatory and strategic matters, including:

• Reviewing, drafting and negotiating customer contracts, procurement agreements, tenders, consultancy agreements, software licences, sponsorship agreements, leases and other commercial agreements as required by the business.

• Providing practical legal advice across commercial, competition and consumer, intellectual property, corporate and property matters.

• Developing and maintaining standard contracts, templates and legal resources.

• Assisting with dispute resolution and litigation matters.

• Delivering guidance and training to stakeholders across the business.

• Supporting company secretarial and governance activities, including Board and Committee administration, regulatory lodgements and corporate compliance requirements.

What You'll Bring:

• A Bachelor of Laws and admission to practice in Australia.

• Experience working in-house, on secondment, or within a commercial legal practice.

• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to balance business priorities and legal risk.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and sound judgement when working in a fast-paced environment.

• Experience supporting governance or company secretarial functions will be highly regarded. Experience within telecommunications or an ASX-listed organisation is advantageous but not essential.
