Paralegal - Legal Support

Beacon Legal have partnered with a leading Australian telecommunications business in their search for a new Paralegal. They are looking to hire a career paralegal / legal secretary to be based in their Sydney office.

This role is not for aspiring lawyers, please do not apply if you are in Law School. The GC is looking for longevity in the successful candidate, and so this will not be the right role if you aim to become a practising lawyer.

We’re seeking a proactive and motivated paralegal to support a fast-paced and dynamic legal team. This role offers the opportunity to work across copy clearance and consumer law-related matters, working closely with product, marketing and other commercial teams.

This is an ideal opportunity for a career paralegal or legal secretary looking to step away from the traditional law firm environment and into a commercial, in-house setting. You’ll gain direct exposure to internal stakeholders across product, marketing and commercial teams, allowing you to be more embedded in the business and see the real-time impact of your work.

This role will give you a broader, more engaging scope than typical private practice support roles, with the chance to build strong internal relationships. You'll also develop a deeper understanding of how legal advice shapes business decisions that you see in your daily life.

This role will give you the chance to engage in impactful work with constant opportunities for professional growth. You will become part of a high-performing and supportive team and be able to contribute to a leading Australian company. The role offers a strong work-life balance, a genuine 9-5. This can be a 4-day part-time role for the right candidate, with hybrid working.

About the Role

• Review and clear materials to ensure compliance with consumer law and internal policies.
• Work closely with product, marketing and commercial teams on copy clearance processes.
• Assist with managing legal risk in customer communications and campaigns.
• Support internal stakeholders with day-to-day legal queries related to consumer-facing content.
• Help streamline and maintain copy approval processes and documentation.
• Engage with a range of business units to ensure legally compliant and commercially practical outcomes.

What type of person will be successful?

• A career paralegal, legal secretary or similar with 3+ years of experience.
• Strong analytical, organisational, and stakeholder management skills.
• Collaborative, adaptable, and self-motivated.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
• Commercial mindset.
