About the role:

Immutable is looking for an experienced, savvy and proactive Senior Legal Counsel or Legal Counsel to join the Legal, Risk & Compliance team and help guide the business through its fast-evolving regulatory environment. In this role, you will provide practical, commercially minded legal advice across Immutable's products, marketing, and go-to-market activities, with a core focus on regulatory workstreams related to financial services, payments, digital assets, and emerging online safety and platform regulation. You will work closely with senior stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Growth, and Commercial teams, translating complex legal concepts into clear guidance that helps the business move quickly and responsibly.

Responsibilities:

📍Own and drive regulatory advisory workstreams, providing strategic guidance on how evolving laws and regulations impact Immutable's products, services, marketing initiatives, and customer communications. 📍Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Growth, and Go To Market teams to assess risk, shape compliant approaches, and help teams ship with confidence. 📍Lead proactive regulatory projects, identifying upcoming reforms, planning for change, and helping the business prepare for new requirements with clear, actionable plans. 📍Provide support across additional practice areas as needed, including employment matters, privacy workstreams, and reviewing, drafting, and negotiating a broad range of commercial agreements. 📍Deliver advice in a way that is concise and usable for non-legal stakeholders, helping leaders understand the practical "what to do next" rather than receiving long-form memos. 📍Instruct and manage external counsel when required, including scoping work, managing timelines, and supporting budget discipline. 📍Help improve how the legal function scales, contributing to templates, self-serve guidance, process improvements, and levelling up legal operations to create leverage for the team. 📍Build strong internal relationships and become a trusted business partner who can influence, persuade, and align stakeholders on sound, pragmatic legal outcomes.

Requirements:

📍3 to 8 years+ PQE, with an Australian practising certificate and the ability to advise on Australian legal and regulatory requirements. 📍Prior in-house experience in a scale-up or high-growth company where autonomy and speed were essential. 📍Experience advising on online safety, platform regulation, or digital platform compliance frameworks (for example, Online Safety Act obligations, platform safety standards, or user protection regulations). 📍Strong experience advising on regulatory matters in financial services, payments, fintech, or technology-led environments, with a genuine interest in disruptive technology and emerging regulatory regimes. 📍A track record of translating complex legal and regulatory concepts into clear, commercial, user-friendly advice that helps teams make decisions quickly. 📍Experience advising on product and marketing compliance, ideally in regulated or semi-regulated environments. 📍Exposure to employment and privacy matters, with the adaptability to contribute outside a core specialism when the business needs it. 📍Strong stakeholder management and execution capability, able to operate autonomously end to end, influence senior and cross-functional leaders with pragmatic judgment, and drive workstreams through shifting priorities to practical outcomes.

Nice-to-have: 📍Experience advising on digital assets or blockchain adjacent products, services, or policy issues. 📍Familiarity with building scalable legal support, including templates, self-serve resources, or lightweight automation. 📍Experience working closely with product and engineering teams on fast-moving product releases and cross-functional risk decisions.
