Legal Officer
Moodle, Australia
Job Description
Moodle with us!
We're the world's most popular learning platform and we’re on a mission to empower educators to improve our world.
We are searching for a driven Legal Officer to provide legal advice across our global company! This is a fully flexible part-time opportunity that can be based anywhere in Australia or New Zealand.
What your new job can look like
This role will work closely with our Legal Counsel to provide high quality legal advice across contracts, services agreements, privacy, intellectual property and software licencing agreements. As part of a small, tight-knit legal team, you will get the opportunity to be exposed to a range of different areas and develop your skills.
With the pace of Moodle, no two days will ever be the same! But most days will involve a mix of:
- Drafting, negotiating and managing contractual arrangements for Moodle, usually under Australian and US laws
- Collaborate with stakeholders in reviewing contracts and making recommendations
- Ensure all contract negotiations consider the appropriate risk and regulatory compliance obligations
- Take a leading role in all data privacy matters (particularly GDPR) with Moodle’s external DPO and customer support via Moodle’s CRM.
This is a fully remote role that will require you to work across multiple timezones, primarily Perth, and the US on occasion.
Find out about your new workplace...
Moodle builds and maintains an open source learning management system, with over 180,000 registered sites and 300 million users worldwide. We’re growing rapidly, with the recent introduction of exciting new products and services to help us become an even bigger contributor to the world of education technology.
We’ve built a passionate team of hard-working and driven people from all over the world, united by a shared belief in the ability of our platform to make a positive difference to our world. We respect our colleagues and value an open and innovative workplace, filled with integrity and of course a strong focus on education (yes, these are our company values!).
