Zepto’s Legal Team is focused on working with the business to build resilience, drive growth and guide the future state - through timely, thoughtful and practical advice, implementation and direction

The Role You’ll Play

As our Legal Counsel with a focus on corporate and commercial projects and business activity, you will have the opportunity to play a significant role in Zepto's success.

Reporting to the Senior Legal Counsel (Commercial), your focus will be to support Zepto’s commercial and corporate legal obligations and work closely with our Commercial team to negotiate and close enterprise deals that support a win/win scenario for both Zepto and our customers and drive our long term sustainable growth.

You have experience working in a fast paced environment where you've gained experience providing high quality legal advice with a focus on enterprise commercial agreements.

Working in a start-up, means you get the opportunity to flex your skills in a variety of ways. We are agile and always willing to roll up our sleeves to get things done. You can, however, expect your day to day to be involved in the following:

• Contract drafting, commercial negotiations and legal advisory in relation to a wide range of business transactions, including customer contracts, distribution arrangements and supplier contracts;
• Prepare, advise and review of financial service disclosure documents;
• Advise and review external facing commercial and Marketing materials in addition to corporate materials;
• Provide legal support to major commercial or corporate projects such as potential capital raising opportunities including equity/finance structuring options;
• Provide legal advice in relation to commercial or corporate disputes and litigated matters;
• Provide legal advice and negotiation assistance for partnership deals;
• Provide legal support on RFI and tender responses;
• Provide advice to People Team on employment agreements, ESOP, Incentive Plan and employee disputes;
• Design and provide training to internal stakeholders on legal issues and contribute to upskilling our Commercial and wider team in their legal aptitude and obligations;
• Assist with design, implementation and maintenance of legal policies and procedures; and
• Assist with legal team operations and projects.

What You’ll Bring to the Table

You’re a highly motivated lawyer who thrives in a busy, high-volume, competitive commercial market where priorities often change. You are comfortable picking up something and running with it, while having the awareness to escalate matters as appropriate. You proactively keep abreast of legislative change and can advise on the impact of change to the business.

You must have tertiary qualifications in Law and hold a current practising certificate in an Australian State or Territory.

You will bring 4+ years of legal experience to the team gained ideally within an in-house commercial or corporate environment where you have worked with large enterprise and commercial deals. You will have first rate contract drafting skills, and a demonstrated ability to negotiate commercial contracts. You demonstrate knowledge in commercial and corporate legal requirements applicable to the financial services industry and/or enterprise sales in Australia.

You're collaborative, communicate with impact and are driven to deliver results for Zepto and our customers.
