About BrighteOur mission is to make consumer energy resources (CER) affordable and accessible for everyone.
Brighte is building the platform to enable and accelerate the energy transition by making it affordable, easy and less risky to buy and sell energy equipment.
Our founder and CEO, Katherine McConnell, has been awarded Telstra Businesswoman of the year in 2020 as well as winning the Sustainability Crusader award at B&T's 2023 Women Leading Tech Awards. She is a passionate and humble leader who has a human first approach to business.
As a business in 2025, we have been named a AFR Sustainability Leader within the Banking and Finance category and won the inaugural Sustainability Award at the Affies in 2024!
About the Role
We run lean, with routine work templated, automated or self-served wherever possible, so legal expertise is focused on the decisions that carry real judgement, risk and commercial consequence.
As Brighte grows across vendors, partners, products and regulatory obligations, the work reaching Legal is increasingly complex, high-impact and strategically important.What You’ll Do
Own commercial contracting. End-to-end ownership of vendor, SaaS, supplier, referral, integration, collaboration and data-sharing agreements. Negotiate the ones that need a lawyer directly with the other side, keep vendor terms commercial without dropping Brighte’s protections, and make sure the DOA is followed and the right sign-offs are in place before anything is signed.
Keep customer and product documentation right. Own the customer-facing credit and product documents, keep them current and aligned with consumer-credit regulation, coordinate origination-system updates with Product, and give fast, practical sign-off on disclosures and marketing within your authority.
Partner with Risk & Compliance. Turn regulatory change into operational obligations and controls across responsible lending, design and distribution, privacy and consumer data. Support engagement with regulators and industry bodies, and run point on the occasional dispute, complaint or AFCA matter.
Make fewer matters need a lawyer, and build self-serve capability. Sharpen templates, playbooks and thresholds, supervise AI-assisted review, run legal intake through Jira, and surface clear MI on what Legal is carrying. When the same question reaches you twice, fix the cause behind it rather than answering it again. Run targeted training so the business gets more right without you.
Work AI-first. We’re serious about AI, and serious about doing it properly. In legal, judgement beats volume so you’ll use AI fluently to draft, review, summarise and triage, but you verify against the source (the legislation, the contract, the file), protect what’s privileged and confidential, and own every output.
What You’ll Bring
