**Ryman Healthcare**
At Ryman, we believe the measure of a full life is one that gets richer with age.
Ryman has grown to become the largest retirement village operator in New Zealand. We own and operate 45 villages in New Zealand and Australia. We employ more than 7,200 team members.
Being the developer, designer, builder, and operator means we will continue to challenge the status quo and adapt to better serve our residents and team members.
Our trailblazing spirit can be felt in every Ryman experience, so if you like the sound of this, then read on.
**What will you do?**
We are seeking a Senior Legal Counsel to provide legal support to Ryman Healthcare Limited and its leaders and team members.
Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Providing legal advice to Ryman on a range of matters including corporate/commercial issues and Retirement Villages issues
- Managing the legal precedent database including management of the RFP/RFI documentation and related documentation.
- Assist in preparation and drafting legal documents, including contracts and agreements, letters, correspondence
- Assist in negotiating terms and conditions with suppliers and customers, resolving issues, and responding to queries.
- Assist with internal legal and regulatory compliance (including listed company compliance matters, investor relations, and reporting)
- Working collaboratively with the Senior Executive Team and other executive support team members.
**What's in it for you?**
At Ryman we have ambitions to lead the industry at a global level. You will be surrounded by people who are not content with "standard" and will work for a company that will support you to be your best self.
**Who are you?**
You will possess excellent communication skills and a clear passion for safety. You are reliable, self-motivated and enjoy managing a busy workload.
In addition, you will have:
- A Bachelor's degree in Law (LLB) and a NZ Practicing Certificate or the ability to obtain one
- 7+ years PQE with relevant experience gained in a reputable law firm and/or in-house legal role
- You value people and kindness, and are passionate about delivering excellent results
- You strive for excellence and constantly look for ways to exceed expectations; delivering a high-quality service at speed will be second nature
- You believe in the value of strong, positive, trusting teams who work together as one
- As a resilient person you keep going, even when there are bumps in the road and you show composure under pressure
- You value communication that is simple, clear and straight to the point
Applications will be reviewed as they are received and interviews may take place prior to the close date. This means we reserve the right to close a job ad before the advertised close date.
