We have an exciting opportunity for a technically minded Senior Legal Counsel to join Samsung Electronics Australia!
Reporting to the Head of Legal and Compliance, you will provide considered, high quality legal advice across a broad range of matters and business units within Australia. This is a wide-ranging role suited to a technically capable Senior Legal Counsel who can also support the company’s broader legal and compliance initiatives and engage stakeholders and external consultants at varying levels or seniority.

Role and Responsibilities

• Providing advice across a broad range of legal matters, including general corporate and commercial issues, employment law, insolvency and securities law, competition and consumer law, intellectual property, privacy, and general litigation matters.

• Negotiating, drafting and reviewing a wide variety of agreements and contracts for stakeholders at all levels of the business.

• Reviewing marketing, website and social media materials to ensure compliance with applicable laws and internal policies.

• Assisting with the day‑to‑day operation of Samsung’s legal and compliance program, including contributing to policy development, training and risk management initiatives.

Skills and Qualifications

• Undergraduate or postgraduate law degree, with admission as a legal practitioner in Australia (essential).

• 7–10 years’ PQE, ideally gained in a high‑performing in‑house team or top‑tier law firm; exposure to industries such as FMCG, logistics, customer service or telecommunications is highly regarded.

• Broad legal experience across the areas outlined above, with the ability to provide technically strong and commercially sound advice.

• Demonstrated capability in negotiating large, complex commercial agreements, including end‑to‑end contract management, negotiation and procurement terms.

• Proven ability to manage matters independently in a fast‑paced, complex environment, with strong stakeholder engagement skills across all levels of the business.

• Experience with privacy matters—not essential, but highly valued given the volume of work in this area.
