And you can hold your own in a room full of senior stakeholders.Bonus points if you already know what an enterprise agreement is (double bonus if you''ve read one).Whats in it for you?Real mentoring from someone who knows their stuff (not just someone who forwards you PDFs).Exposure to the commercial engine behind major tech platforms.A strategic role in a business that values sharp minds, not just technical ones.The kind of experience that sets you up for leadership in either tech or commercial law.Hobart live somewhere with a real commute (10 mins), a view that doesnt cost $2m, and actual clean air.
