This is a business partnership role and you will be expected to work with the business in providing support and guidance whilst delivering key results in:

This is an intellectually stimulating and rewarding career environment where you will collaborate with like-minded professionals who believe in the broader corporate objectives. You will also get the opportunity to build your specialist  team over time.

WHAT'S REQUIRED:

You will have  8+ years' experience in similar roles.

You may be a highly experienced Risk & Compliance Officer, or alternatively a qualified Lawyer of 8+ years PAE with specialist experience in legal risk and compliance in the Resources Sector (mining, water, energy), industrial (construction, heavy machinery), or possibly in a very hands-on risk audit and compliance consulting services role.

Regardless of sector, you must have the ability to deliver results with a partnership and customer centric approach. We regret to advise that we are not looking for applications from candidates who feel confident they can simply 'do' the role. More so we are seeking applications from candidates with a career built around risk and compliance together with a continuing interest in a career as a legal risk and compliance specialist.

Applications are open to Australian Residents or those currently with the right to work in Australia as sponsorship is not able to be provided. In addition, whilst there is some workplace flexibility, regrettably the role will not suit someone looking to work fully remote or on a FIFO basis. Some travel may be required from time to time.

REMUNERATION:

In order to attract high calibre candidates, a competitive salary is on offer and is negotiable in line with experience.

When expressing your interest, please indicate what your expectations are in that regard so that we may come to understand where you see your value in a role such as this.

OUR THOUGHTS:

This company offers an invigorating work environment, with the role promising the challenges you seek. It presents an opportunity for the right candidate to advance professionally and make a meaningful impact on the organization, bringing a sense of pride in their contributions.

If you possess the necessary skills, confidence, and humility to thrive in this dynamic setting, we encourage you to express your interest by submitting your CV to *****@lawstaff.com.au with the reference code: IHCR120424.

Please ensure that your application provides detailed information aligning with the job requirements. Candidates expecting evaluation solely based on their job title may be disappointed if their transferable skills are not adequately highlighted.

We eagerly anticipate engaging with shortlisted candidates.
