This is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal in-house role supporting the Asia-Pacific operations. You’ll be advising on a broad range of trading, derivatives, and OTC regulatory matters, partnering closely with teams across trading, compliance, risk, finance, and operations.
Key accountabilities include:
Advising on OTC and exchange-traded derivatives, structured products, and trading documentation.
Supporting implementation of new products, platforms, and regulatory changes.
Negotiating ISDA and related trading agreements.
Providing practical, solutions-oriented advice aligned with a fast-paced commercial environment.
About you:
You’ll be a qualified lawyer with at least 8 years’ experience in derivatives, financial markets, or regulatory law, gained in a top-tier firm and/or in-house with a leading financial institution or trading organisation. A strong understanding of AFSL and ASIC regulatory frameworks will be highly regarded.
This is a brilliant contract opportunity for a confident, commercially minded lawyer who thrives in a dynamic, collaborative, and intellectually rigorous culture.
