The Opportunity

The Principal Lawyer - Commercial and Energy is a voice shaping how VicGrid operates. We are looking for people who are motivated to help build and shape our team culture from the ground up. The role reports to the Director, Commercial - Legal, and will partner across the business to deliver sharp, commercially minded legal advice, supporting complex transactions, procurement, and the navigation of energy and regulatory frameworks. This is a role where strategy meets execution, with real impact on how we deliver Victoria's energy future

What you will deliver

What you will bring

Proven experience delivering commercially focused legal advice across commercial, corporate and/or regulatory matters, ideally within a highly regulated environment or government context.
Strong capability in commercial contracting, procurement and risk management, including navigating public sector frameworks and governance requirements.

Experience designing and implementing regulatory frameworks or other reform initiatives (statutory or organisational), with the ability to translate legislation or broader policy intent into practical tools and guidance.
Admitted Australian lawyer (or eligible) under the Legal Profession Uniform Law (Victoria).
