Provide in-house commercial legal support across contracts, product and regulatory advice, privacy, IP, consumer law, AI governance, dispute resolution, and cross-functional collaboration to manage legal risk and enable business outcomes.
We’re a leading business management solution with a core purpose: helping more businesses in Australia and New Zealand start, survive and succeed.
At MYOB, we believe what’s good for one business is good for all business—and for all of us. Whether you support them, work for them, or dream of building your own, when businesses run smoothly, everybody feels it. Owners, employees, customers, suppliers—even families. That’s why we’re here: to give every person in business the tools they need to focus on what really matters and do Big Things—whatever big looks like for them.
And for you? Joining MYOB means being part of that impact. It means using your skills to help businesses thrive, shaping the future of work, and growing alongside the people and communities we support. Because while we’re the business of software, we’re really in the business of people. And that makes MYOB Everyone’s Business.
Our Legal team is a close-knit group of talented and engaged legal professionals. Our in-house commercial lawyers combine their enthusiasm for law and interest in technology with their business acumen. You will join an inclusive, high-performing team that combines professional excellence with a warm, down-to-earth culture.
We advise across commercial contracts, consumer law, technology and AI, IP, privacy and data protection, financial services, disputes and employment law.
As a member of our in-house legal team, you’ll support MYOB’s Australian and New Zealand operations in many commercial law areas. You’ll simplify legal jargon to deliver practical results. You will do this as part of a team rather than as a sole adviser: matters are shared across our lawyers, and there is always someone more senior to sense check with.
What will keep you busy...- Partner with stakeholders across the business to review, draft and negotiate a broad range of commercial contracts
- Provide legal and regulatory advice on new products, services and customer-facing terms
- Identify and manage legal risk across privacy, data governance, cyber security, consumer and communications law
- Advise on the responsible development and use of AI within MYOB’s products and operations
- Resolve disputes and complaints pragmatically, balancing commercial outcomes with legal risk
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Product, Technology, Marketing, Procurement, Risk, Compliance and Privacy, as well as senior leaders
- Leverage AI in legal practice while applying professional judgement, and continue developing expertise through ongoing learning and professional development opportunities

- Around 4 years’ post-qualification experience or more
- Prior experience in one or more of these areas: commercial contracts, corporate advisory, technology, intellectual property, privacy, or consumer law
- Curiosity about AI and a willingness to learn. AI is part of everyday legal work here, and we will back you with strong training and support. Your attitude matters more to us than a proven AI track record
- Strong commercial acumen and excellent communication skills
- An appetite for cross-functional work, and for collaborating with a strong, cooperative legal team and our risk, compliance and procurement colleagues

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
