Legal Counsel – In house

Job Description

Stake is looking for a Legal Counsel to join our team at our HQ in Sydney. Stake is more than a brokerage, we’re one global brand that stands for progress. This is true for our customers but also for our team members.

Stake is a digital brokerage offering seamless access to invest in shares. It is an exciting working environment where everyone is challenged to deliver high-quality execution. It’s collaborative and high energy. It’s a supportive environment where people are encouraged to take ownership and try things, even if they may fail. Our internal mantra is ‘never settle’ and we all share an ambition to do whatever it takes to grow this business forward. We are growing quickly and have expanded outside of Australia to New Zealand, United Kingdom and Brazil. This is your opportunity to join a global brand rocketing forward and a team hungry to shake up a category.

About this role

This is a hands-on role with the opportunity to work autonomously with various stakeholders at Stake. You will be involved in corporate matters in the group, investor relations, maintaining our options register and assisting with company secretarial duties. You will also work closely with the Product Team in cross functional squads in the roll out of new products and services and provide ad hoc legal support to various teams within Stake including on contractual matters.

A bit about you

• 5+ years of experience in the legal profession either in private practice or an in house environment

At Stake, we value hustle over honours degrees, so we’re more interested in you than your resume. If you believe this is a role you want to jump into head first and be part of our mission, please apply and let us know why in your cover letter!

Our benefits

• An Employee Stock Ownership Plan that reflects Stake’s high performance culture and recognises that employees aren’t only contributors to the business but are owners of Stake’s success
• An annual discretionary performance bonus
