Overview
We're looking for a Legal Counsel – Commercial & Regulatory to join our growing team and play an important role in supporting Dabble's continued growth across Australia and international markets.
This is an opportunity for a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys variety, takes ownership and wants to work closely with the teams shaping our products, campaigns and future expansion.
Reporting to the General Manager, Risk & Compliance, you'll work alongside our Senior In-House Counsel and partner with teams across Product, Technology, Marketing and Operations to help navigate the legal and regulatory landscape of a fast-moving industry.
No two days will look the same. One day you might be reviewing a new marketing campaign or product feature, and the next you'll be working on a licensing application, negotiating an agreement or supporting our expansion into a new market.
We're looking for someone who can balance legal and regulatory requirements with commercial thinking, provide practical advice and help the business move forward with confidence.

Are you a Dabbler?
A Dabbler’s attitude is paramount, as the right person will be able to learn quickly and adapt to any skill gaps. A Dabbler is always a team player, with a willingness to share with and learn from others. Being a remote-first workplace, collaborative working styles are crucial to empower and grow each individual member (eg we prefer openness via public channels to problem solve or ideate on Slack).
A Dabbler uses their freedom of autonomy to its absolute potential and enjoys contributing to the Dabble community. We hold respect for our peers very highly – there is no such thing as a bad idea. We encourage you to think differently, be brave and strive to always raise the bar. Dabble was born out of thought sharing and should tackle growth in the same way. Dabble embraces empowerment of all people at any level of seniority and experience to ‘own their work’ and ‘talk their book’ wherever they can.
A fulfilling life extends beyond work, and we encourage our employees to prioritise self-care and well-being. This means taking breaks when needed, setting boundaries, and seeking support when facing challenges. We are committed to creating a safe environment where individuals feel comfortable discussing their wellbeing and accessing resources when necessary.
Remuneration
We’re open to salary discussions based on your experience, skill set and what you can bring to the role.
