Telecommunications Counsel
Axiom is seeking experienced ICT or telecommunications lawyers to join a leading Australian telecommunications company on either a permanent or secondment basis. These opportunities span multiple business units and product lines, with each role aligned to a specific area such as satellite technology, connectivity and network services, or complex B2B commercial contracting. In each position, you will provide strategic legal support within your designated business line, working on high-value, technically complex matters in a dynamic and highly regulated environment.
Responsibilities include providing legal advice on telecommunications, satellite services, and wholesale network arrangements, including connectivity, capacity, and infrastructure agreements. You will lead the negotiation and drafting of complex commercial contracts with customers, carriers, vendors, and government stakeholders. Additionally, you will advise on regulatory obligations, including telecommunications law, competition, privacy, and spectrum or space-related frameworks. Identifying and managing legal risks associated with network operations, new technologies, and evolving service offerings is also a key aspect of the role. Supporting dispute resolution, regulatory engagement, and cross-functional projects impacting network, satellite, and wholesale services will be part of your day-to-day work.
The ideal candidate is a qualified lawyer with an active Australian practising certificate and significant post-qualification experience in telecommunications, infrastructure, or related regulated industries. Strong expertise in telecommunications, satellite/space law, wholesale network services, or related regulatory frameworks is essential. Demonstrated experience negotiating complex commercial, supply, and service agreements in network or technology environments is also required.
This role offers a highly competitive compensation and benefits package in the alternative legal services marketplace, including health benefits, pension, and more. Axiomites also get access to professional development tools and resources, as well as learning and development programs. Axiom predominately offers remote work opportunities, with the exception that some clients may require on-site presence.
