The posting

Life @ AP+:

We are one connected team in pursuit of one inspiring purpose - to unite people and technology to power better experiences. Each of us has a part to play in making that happen. You'll be encouraged to bring your ideas forward and make a difference through your work, while still having room for fun, friendships and flexibility in your daily life.

We're driven by our core values: lead with heart, learn for tomorrow and live our legacy. A purpose like ours takes the inspired impact of an incredible team. Ready to change the game? We're ready to help you do it.

The Purpose

As Senior Legal Counsel at AP+, you will provide clear, commercially focused legal advice on complex and significant matters. You’ll help leaders make informed decisions, manage legal risk and deliver AP+’s strategic priorities. You’ll take ownership of important matters, work closely with teams across the business and contribute to the strength and effectiveness of our Legal function.

Key Responsibilities the Role Owns:

  • Provide authoritative legal advice on complex, material and strategically significant matters, helping AP+ understand its options and make sound decisions.
  • Identify and manage significant legal risks, explaining their commercial implications, potential trade-offs and practical mitigation options to senior stakeholders.
  • Lead complex negotiations and cross-functional legal matters, setting the legal approach and coordinating internal stakeholders and external legal advisers where needed.
  • Act as a trusted adviser to senior leaders and business teams, offering clear guidance and constructive challenge to support timely, well-informed decisions.
  • Exercise sound independent judgement, taking ownership of matters from initial assessment through to resolution and escalating issues when broader organisational decisions are required.
  • Coach and support less experienced lawyers, and improve how the Legal team works through playbooks, precedents, practical tools and better processes informed by data and insight.

The capabilities needed to be successful for this role are:

  • Qualifications & Experience: A law degree or equivalent legal qualification and a current New South Wales practising certificate are required. You’ll bring at least six years’ post-qualification experience, with experience at the level expected of a Senior Legal Counsel.
  • Legal Advice & Judgement: Demonstrated experience advising across multiple areas of law and independently managing complex legal matters, with the judgement to identify material risks and recommend practical approaches.
  • Commercial & Risk Perspective: The ability to balance legal risk with business needs, assess options and trade-offs, and make complex legal issues clear to non-legal stakeholders.
  • Matter Leadership: Experience leading significant negotiations or cross-functional matters, coordinating internal teams and external advisers, and progressing work through to resolution.
  • Stakeholder Partnership: Confidence building trusted relationships with senior leaders and business teams, providing clear advice and constructive challenge, and influencing decisions through sound reasoning.
  • Team Capability & Improvement: A collaborative approach to coaching colleagues and improving legal services through playbooks, precedents, effective tools and practical ways of working.

What happens next:

At AP+, you’ll work in a collaborative environment focused on clear advice, practical outcomes and the secure, resilient services that support Australia’s payments ecosystem.

If you’re an experienced lawyer who brings strong legal judgement, a commercial mindset and the confidence to guide leaders through complex decisions, we’d like to hear from you.

If you’re ready to be a game changer, please submit your application. The Talent Acquisition team will endeavour to review your application and notify you of the outcome within the next two weeks.

We want to remove all barriers to inclusion, so if you need advice or support with your application, we’re here to help. Please reach out to [email protected]. We also encourage you to let us know your pronouns at any point during the recruitment process.

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.
