About Us


At WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC), we build the software that powers global logistics. Our mission is to change the world by creating breakthrough products that empower those that own, enable, and operate the supply chains of the world. Our technology solutions shape the future of global supply chains, fueling the engine and backbone of international trade.


Reporting to our General Counsel, you will be part of a highly efficient and knowledgeable team in partnering with our multiple global business groups to provide proactive legal advice, including commercial, corporate, governance, and regulatory legal support globally.


Why WiseTech?


  • As a global business headquartered in Australia, you’ll get exposure to local and global perspectives from the brightest minds in tech, while working on legal matters across a variety of jurisdictions.
  • We have a flat hierarchy and corporate structure – one of our company-wide mantras is that “anyone can talk to anyone at any time for any reason”.
  • The Legal team operates in a high-trust, flexible working environment – while we work hard, we trust you to know how to manage your day to day best and the team is here to support you to achieve that.
  • You’ll be able to participate in our employee share scheme (ASX:WTC).
  • Be part of a high-performing and supportive legal team that was named a Top 10 Corporate Counsel Team in the global 2023 OnCon Icon Awards.


The posted salary range is a general guideline and represents a good faith estimate of what WiseTech Global could reasonably expect to pay for this position. The pay offered to a selected candidate will be determined based on factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the qualifications and experience of the selected candidate, geographic location and external market pay for comparable jobs. The Company reserves the right to modify this range in the future, as needed, as market conditions change.



Pay range for this role

$150,000—$200,000 USD



We are excited to offer a competitive total rewards package which includes health and welfare benefits, tuition assistance, 401K savings and other retirement programs as well as employee assistance programs.


Your Expertise


  • Highly accomplished legal professional with 10+ years of post-admission experience, ideally with in-house legal expertise.
  • Exceptional business judgment, communication, and interpersonal skills, complemented by a self-motivated approach and the ability to work autonomously with high accountability.
  • Comfortable advising the business on novel legal issues facing our business, including in foreign jurisdictions (with the help of local counsel).
  • Significant depth of experience in corporate work, commercial negotiation, and contract drafting.


As an ASX listed business, we would make good use of previous experience within a listed company, and the global nature of the way we work would benefit from languages in addition to English.


But don't let the above points select out of applying if you have something to offer. If you're curious about what you could achieve in a fast-paced, dynamic ASX-listed technology business, then we're interested in talking to you.
