Wellington City, New Zealand NZ Post Full time

Commercial legal role delivering effective and pragmatic legal services in our large dynamic organisation

Mō te Tukurau Aotearoa - About NZ Post
NZ Post- Tukurau Aotearoa is an iconic organisation with a rich history and bright future. We've been part of New Zealand's fabric for more than 180 years and over that time we've adapted to keep pace with the changing world around us. We've made big investments in technology, infrastructure and sustainability, so we can deliver even more for Aotearoa in the future.
We're at a critical point in our journey as we consider what's next for our mail business and invest further in our parcel delivery capabilities, looking to capitalise on ongoing e-commerce trends. We're looking for people who are up for the challenge to help us keep delivering what people care about. It's an exciting time to join.
Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role
In this rewarding role, you will deliver effective legal services and provide assurance that legal risks are being managed appropriately. You'll work with a diverse team, operating in a fast-moving, highly competitive industry, within a business you can be proud of. And we're really busy working on a huge range of interesting work fundamental to NZ Post's future and strategic objectives.
This is an incredibly varied general commercial in-house role that supports internal stakeholders on a range of matters across our business. We're a large organisation with a huge variety of work, ranging from engagement with delivery contractors, major procurement projects, the development of new products and services, substantial brand and marketing work and much more.
Every week the team has something come through that we'd never have predicted, which keeps the work interesting and keeps us on our toes. We're not hierarchical and our lawyers work closely with others right across the business. You'll need to be pragmatic and use your initiative to collaborate with the business and your highly experienced team to get stuff done
The team itself is a supportive, collaborative and highly experienced environment. You'll be backed to make your own calls but supported in your learning and any sense checks. We have four other legal counsel (three senior) and a compliance and risk leader, all with a wealth and range of expertise, and sit within a broader team that includes regulatory and government relations functions. The Legal & Regulatory Team is part of the broader Governance & Sustainability business unit - a highly supportive and stimulating part of the business.
Mōu - About you
We're looking for a lawyer with about 8+ years PQE (but get in touch if you want to chat about this further) with well-regarded commercial experience in-house or in a law firm. Some general disputes or litigation experience would be a plus, but not essential by any means. You will already have an operating rhythm that allows you to ‘go with the flow' and get things done, and be comfortable working in the grey. Resourceful by nature, you will be skilled at identifying opportunities and making your own calls in managing your role. You'll be a strong communicator and know how to engage with your stakeholders to understand and support their successes. Above all, you'll enjoy a positive and high performance environment with a great group of professionals.
Hiahia? - Interested?
There's something really special about being part of the team here at NZ Post - Tukurau Aotearoa, who we are and what we stand for is grounded in our values.
We are proud to be Rainbow Tick certified and recognise the diversity and uniqueness of our workforce and reaffirm our commitment to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone.
