    Australia's success increasingly depends on technology. It powers the delivery of government services, enhances children's learning and enables all businesses to innovate and improve productivity.

    The ACS is currently going through an exciting period of transformation (both organisational and Digital transformation), which will see us evolve to be more relevant in a changing market by introducing additional industry-focused services and product offerings.

    • Intellectual Property (IP) Protection: Offer IP support to safeguard technological innovations and proprietary assets.
    • Internal Policy Development: Contribute to the development of internal policies, ensuring alignment with legal requirements.
    • General corporate advisory and ad-hoc legal support: Provide legal support to the organisation and Head of Legal on a range of matters including employment and HR, governance and risk, helping to navigate legal complexities.

    Requirements:

    To thrive in this role, you should possess the following qualifications and skills:

    • Experience: 5–7 years as a practicing lawyer with at least 2 years in-house experience, with a focus on commercial contracts, intellectual property, and general corporate advisory.
    • Drafting Skills: Strong experience in drafting legal documents, contract review, and effective negotiation.
    • Analytical Abilities: Capable of assessing complex legal issues and providing sound recommendations.
    • Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, enabling effective collaboration with both internal and external stakeholders.
