Commercial Legal Counsel

Step into the role of Commercial Legal Counsel and drive contracts, risk management, and commercial legal strategy at the heart of Fast Track’s operations.

The role sits within a lean legal team and provides a defined scope and the ability to focus on mastering commercial contracting, risk management, and dispute management. The main focus lies on client and partner-facing contracts, commercial escalations, and policy alignment.

This role is for someone who wants to combine day-to-day deal work with the opportunity to build scalable processes, refine playbooks, and contribute to the overall direction of Fast Track’s commercial legal approach. It offers the autonomy to make decisions within agreed boundaries, the trust to manage high-value negotiations, and the chance to see the direct impact of legal work on business outcomes.

The Commercial Legal Counsel role is an opportunity to work at the centre of Fast Track’s commercial operations and directly shape how the business approaches legal matters.
