We are committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace - a place where we can each be ourselves and do the best work of our lives. At Tracksuit we consider a unique perspective, diverse experience and a growth mindset to be of greater value than ticking every box on an JD. If you think you have what it takes but don’t have the exact experience we’ve set out, please still get in touch and apply. We’d love to chat!
Please note: This role can be based in either Auckland or Sydney. It requires you to work from our vibrant office space. With flexibility to work from home, we trust you to choose the balance that empowers you & your team to achieve their goals.
Tracksuit’s vision is to be used in every strategic growth conversation for the best consumer brands of today and tomorrow. We’re doing this by becoming the common language to measure and communicate the value of brand building. We've built beautiful, always-on, radically affordable brand tracking — taking an old-school, $100k+ market research product and making it 10x easier to use and 10x more affordable.

Are you Tracksuit’s new Legal Counsel?
This role is exciting because you'll be joining as our first legal hire to lead and own the function, within one of the fastest-growing startups in Australia and New Zealand. You’re not siloed into one specialty (e.g. privacy/data), this is a true generalist legal role with exposure across the entire business. Come build the foundations of the legal function from the ground up.
The Important Bits:
This permanent role will report to Dan Danilov, Head of Strategy & Operations, sitting within our Operations function. You’ll join us as an individual contributor.

- Employment matters: oversee and manage employment-related legal issues, including drafting employment contracts, handling employee disputes, and ensuring compliance with labour laws and regulations
- IP & Trademarks: manage and protect Tracksuit's intellectual property, including trademarks and copyrights
That's the role, so who are you?
- You will have legal qualifications with a minimum of 5 years experience.
- Strong commercial awareness and understanding of current market technology conditions.
- Strong understanding of contract law, intellectual property law, data privacy regulations, corporate governance, and employment law
- Experience as in-house counsel is a bonus, but not strictly required. Prior fundraising and M&A experience is not required
- Demonstrable knowledge around software agreements and and the laws/regulations that affect software companies
- A kind, smart and genuine human with a growth mindset.
- You thrive in fast-paced environments and, as an early team member, are excited at the prospect of having a tangible impact on Tracksuit’s culture.
- You understand why good branding is critical to a business’ success (and why it’s important to track, i.e. why Tracksuit exists!)
