We’re growing fast and our in-house legal team is growing with us.
This is a broad, hands-on, in-house role with contracts at its core.
You will be the business’s first port of call for all contracts – drafting, negotiating and finalising a range of large contracts (from procurement and sales through to finance and IT).
You will act as a genuine partner across the company and build trusted relationships with key internal stakeholders and departments.
Our Legal Team is committed to delivering high-quality legal and governance solutions that the business values and relies upon.
We do this by providing timely, strategic, and practical support across all areas of the business.
In this role you will report to, and work closely with, the Head of Legal and Corporate Affairs, alongside our other Legal Counsel.
You will provide commercially relevant legal advice on a broad range of business issues, with a strong focus on contracts and disputes.
ABOUT YOU
You will be a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys getting deals done, not just spotting risk.
You communicate clearly, build trust quickly, and are comfortable working independently in a dynamic environment while backed by a leader experienced in the business.
To be successful, you will bring
- A Bachelor of Laws (essential), or a dual degree in Law and a relevant discipline.
- 5+ years’ post-admission experience, gained within a reputable commercial firm and/or in-house environment.
- Strong skills in contract drafting, negotiation, execution, and legal advisory.
- Demonstrated project, matter, and contract management capability.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- The ability to influence and build relationships across a diverse stakeholder group.
- Results orientation and the ability to work independently.
- Experience in-house or in Agriculture or FMCG is desirable, but not essential.
WHAT WE OFFER
Joining Kilcoy Global Foods means becoming part of a fast-growing, global organisation with a supportive and dynamic culture.
Unlike private practice, there are no billable hours—you will focus on meaningful, business-impacting work.
You will also benefit from
- A collaborative and supportive team environment.
- A business that values your expertise and contributions.
- The stability of a growing company with consistent year-on-year growth of 20% and sales exceeding $3 billion.
We are an equal opportunity employer and make every effort to select the best qualified individual for the job based on job related qualifications and experiences.
