About Red Cross
Australian Red Cross is part of the world’s largest humanitarian movement. We support and empower people and communities in times of vulnerability. We act for humanity.
About the role
Reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, you will partner with the divisions of Australian Red Cross to provide commercially astute legal advice to support our humanitarian objectives.

Day to day you will support our program and services areas to operate effectively in compliance with laws and regulations. You will proactively identify legal risks and suggest practical solutions.
What you will bring
Bachelor of Laws (or equivalent) and a current practising certificate. A minimum of 5 years PQE with at least 2 of those years practicing in house is desirable.
Substantial experience working on a range of legal matters and subject areas. In-house experience advising on employment matters and award interpretation is highly desirable. In-house experience in information technology, privacy and legislative compliance is also well regarded.
Excellent general commercial legal skills including contractual drafting and review.
Proven ability to build effective relationships which allow you to influence and drive action
Benefits that act for you, while you act for humanity
Work flexibility:
Australian Red Cross operates under a hybrid working model which includes two days on-site and three days from home, providing you more work/life balance.

You can salary package up to $15,900 for living expenses (such as rent, groceries, utility bills); up to $2,650 for holiday accommodation and meals when dining out; Novated car leases; superannuation and purchase additional annual leave.
Life, Health & Wellbeing: You can access a paid ‘Me’ day just for you and a wide range of other paid leave options. You can also tap into specialist health and wellbeing advice via our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider, Converge International.
Career development: Access to ongoing learning, training, and development.
