The posting

Propeller is on a mission to take the guesswork out of moving dirt - reducing wasted fuel, time, and money. We do this through the power of maps.

Our customers use Propeller's integrated hardware and software products to capture accurate 3D versions of their worksites. With over 50,000 worksites worldwide using Propeller's smart survey technology, we empower project teams to map, measure, and manage site activity.

Propeller empowers everyone to approach, own, and solve problems creatively. We're data nerds who care about impact, honesty, and each other. We take pride in being a great place to work and are proud to be recognised as a Fast Company and BuiltIn Best Place to Work. You can learn more about us on Glassdoor.

Your Mission:

As Propeller grows, new challenges come with it. We’re looking for a Legal Counsel to join our team and help us navigate them across Australia and our global business. You’ll be right in the middle of the action, providing practical, commercially-minded legal guidance to teams across the business, helping move deals forward, protect Propeller’s interests, and navigate legal risks without slowing things down.

You’ll bring calm, clear judgement to complex situations, balancing legal risk with the realities of how a fast-growing business operates. You’ll work closely with teams across Sales, Marketing, RevOps and beyond, helping answer questions, solve problems and make smart decisions. Your work will also play an important role in protecting our software and hardware IP, strengthening our legal and compliance foundations, and supporting a culture of innovation as we continue to scale globally.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Own commercial legal work globally: support teams across Australia, the Americas, the UK and Europe with contracts, negotiations and day-to-day legal questions.
  • Get involved in big business moments: support investments, fundraising, M&A and other corporate and commercial transactions.
  • Partner with the Sales team on customer and vendor agreements, helping find practical solutions that balance commercial goals and risk.
  • Be a trusted legal partner to Marketing, RevOps and other teams, providing clear, practical advice that helps them move quickly.
  • Own privacy & compliance: advise on Privacy and GDPR requirements and work with the Security team to help us stay ahead of regulatory changes.
  • Help navigate legal risk across our global operations and workforce, turning complex laws into practical guidance for the business.
  • Manage legal disputes and work with external counsel where needed, including litigation and alternative dispute resolution.
  • Stay ahead of what’s changing: keep across new legislation and regulations and help the business respond quickly to emerging risks.
  • Help build the legal function as we scale: improve processes, introduce smarter ways of working and make it easier for the business to get the legal support it needs.

Requirements

  • 5+ years’ PQE, a law degree and current Practising Certificate.
  • In-house legal experience, ideally within a venture-backed technology or SaaS business.
  • Experience working on complex, high-value commercial transactions. International or cross-border experience is a plus.
  • Experience with, or a strong interest in GDPR and data privacy.
  • An understanding of AI regulation and compliance in SaaS, plus experience or an interest in using AI to work smarter day to day.
  • Pragmatic judgement: you’re comfortable navigating ambiguity, making calls and balancing risk with commercial outcomes.
  • Strong negotiation skills and the confidence to work directly with stakeholders across the business.
  • A clear, collaborative communication style, with the ability to turn complex legal concepts into simple, practical advice.

Bonus points for:

  • Venture capital fundraising and capital markets
  • Working in a global company
  • Supporting a board of directors - governance, secretariat etc.

Benefits

  • Employee share options
  • Backed by one of Australia’s leading venture capitalists, Blackbird
  • Professional development budget and CPD leave
  • Mental health resources
  • Monthly telephone and internet allowance
  • Paid primary & secondary parental leave policies
  • Hybrid work arrangements and WFH equipment provided

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
