You will frequently partner with other enablement functions including other parts of Legal, Procurement, Risk, Compliance, Finance, Group Technology and Tax to negotiate compliant procurement and technology contracts and support the delivery of ANZ’s technology projects.    

While your work will be primarily Australia-focused, ANZ operates in multiple jurisdictions and has technology suppliers based all around the world.  The Technology Legal team supports technology projects globally and your work will reflect this.

The ANZ regulatory environment is increasingly complex. You will be involved in regulatory and legislative reform projects, and you will be required to advise on compliance initiatives to meet new and changing regulatory requirements.  

You will also need to instruct and manage external law firms who provide additional assistance from time to time.

• be experienced in providing accurate and commercial legal advice and be able to articulate legal risks clearly and concisely;

• be able to work autonomously and as part of a team and be willing to supervise and mentor more junior lawyers;

• have excellent time management skills with a demonstrated track record of handling challenging workloads and multiple stakeholders;

• enjoy the challenges of working across multiple jurisdictions and within multi-dimensional environments;

There’s something special about being part of ANZ.  From the moment you join us, you’re part of a team working towards a common goal: improving the financial wellbeing and sustainability of our millions of customers.

But it’s not just our customers who’ll feel your impact. You’ll feel it too. Because at ANZ, you’ll have the resources and community you need to take the next big step in your career, towards even bigger things in the future.
