Provide eco-friendly and affordable cars to on-demand drivers, so they can focus on earning an income

Splend provides eco-friendly and affordable cars to on-demand drivers, so they can focus on earning an income.

For over four years, we’ve been helping drivers earn more, improve their ratings, and enjoy their jobs. How do we do that? By offering an unrivalled level of support for our members.

We’re more than a car supplier. We provide resources and a community for drivers wanting to be their best. From dedicated support to advanced training and rewards, we help our members take control of their careers with our flexible plans.

Splend was founded in Sydney in 2015. As on-demand driving became part of modern society, we expanded to nine cities across Australia, the Americas, and Europe, grew our global team to over 150 employees, and raised $25 million in equity and over $200m in vehicle financing to date.

We’ve helped students, retirees, former refugees, and single parents find work they love, which fits their lifestyle. We take pride in everything our members and teams achieved so far, and we’re only just getting started.

As our Senior Legal Counsel, your role will be to advise, lead and manage our core legal, regulatory and internal governance matters. This includes a diverse variety of items across all areas of the business meaning no day will be the same; from customer contracts to employment matters through to major insurance claims and litigation cases. You will also support on major capital raise transactions and various aspects of our board and risk governance. 

We’re in scale up mode and this is a brand new position which forms an exciting opportunity for someone with inhouse experience looking for the next step up in their career, or someone in private practice looking for a change of pace. It will be a hands on role and we will look to you for guidance on all things legal, so having more of a generalist and flexible approach would be highly regarded.
