Job description

We’re powered by purpose

Mable is an online platform connecting Australians looking for disability and aged care support to independent support workers. Since 2014, we’ve been helping our community live their kind of independence, and today we’re one of Australia's largest and fastest growing healthtech platforms. 

We  have been recognised in AFR’s Fast 100 list, Deloitte’s Tech Fast 50, and won the Australian Growth & Australian Technology Growth Company of the Year Award in 2020! So don’t miss  your  opportunity to join a thriving scale-up and deliver change to  Australia’s care and support sector.

This is a rare opportunity for a dynamic and pragmatic commercial  lawyer 4+ PQE to join a legal team in a scaling business. You will thrive in a varied role where you will work as part of a small team, collaborating with business functions to address legal and regulatory issues and provide solutions.

You will work under the Head of Legal yet have autonomy to advise on a wide range of matters, influencing the delivery of Mable’s strategic objectives. Working in a profit-for-purpose technology company means you will be able to make a meaningful and positive impact with your legal skills whilst utilising your commercial and innovative mindset. 

Key accountabilities

  • Lead the end to end review, drafting and negotiation  of commercial contracts with a focus on supporting Mable’s emerging B2B function
  • Provide strategic legal advice on commercial transactions and partnerships in the health tech sector
  • Support the development and implementation of contract management processes and systems
  • Provide commercially oriented advice and support to the business on a wide range of legal issues including  IP, marketing, regulatory compliance, employment, privacy and data protection
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and mitigate risks for Mable products and services
  • Monitor legal and regulatory compliance for all areas that may impact Mable’s operations
  • Assist the business with projects to improve products and services
  • Contribute to an innovative culture with your legal expertise and initiative and assist in the development and implementation of legal strategies and initiatives
  • Embrace a role that offers constant variety and the chance to tackle new challenges head-on. No two days are the same!

Skills, knowledge and experience

  • A Bachelor of Laws degree, a current Legal Practising Certificate and 4+ (PQE) years of experience from a law firm or an inhouse team, with a solid foundation in corporate commercial law.
  • Demonstrated experience in drafting and negotiating complex commercial contracts
  • Strong knowledge of Australian contract law and commercial principles
  • Strong commercial acumen and business partnership skills
  • Skilled at managing competing priorities within a diverse workload and a collaborative attitude essential to working in a small team in a shared services model (industry experience in a start-up or technology company is a plus but not a prerequisite).
  • Attention to detail and a high-level of accuracy
  • Ability to interact with management levels of a business and build relationships with key stakeholders
  • Commercial and strategic mindset, with the capacity to provide legal advice that aligns with business objectives
  • Capacity to work independently while also thriving in a collaborative environment
  • Clear and confident communicator who values plain English and is able to summarise legal concepts into practical steps
