About BBC Studios ANZ

Working for BBC Studios, we are all part of a premium content and production company that inspires global audiences. We are proud to represent some of the world's biggest, most trusted and loved content brands. In Australia and New Zealand, we bring the best of bold, British storytelling to our region through distributing content to broadcasters, our seven branded services on subscription platforms and our own local production arm, as well as other commercial partnerships such as live entertainment and licensing.

Our Values: Audiences. Creativity. Trust. Respect. Accountability. One BBC.

Job Purpose

Reporting to the SVP Business & Legal Affairs for BBC Studios Direct to Consumer and working closely with the ANZ Head of Global Channels & Streaming, the Senior Lawyer will be responsible for providing world-class business and legal affairs support for all aspects of the BritBox Australia and ANZ Global Channels & Streaming businesses. This may include drafting and negotiating content acquisition, distribution (including app distribution), marketing, services and other general commercial agreements, as well as advising on channel carriage arrangements, music licensing, marketing compliance, data protection, consumer law and other regulatory matters relevant to a digital content business.

It will be important for the incoming person to be a self-starter, happy to pick up tasks and projects that may not fall directly in their remit, and be prepared to get involved in everything from strategy development to detailed execution and delivery.

This role reports into the SVP Business & Legal Affairs for Direct to Consumer (based in UK), with a dotted line into the VP Business & Legal Affairs for Global Channels & Streaming and Commercial News (also based in the UK), and will work on a day-to-day basis with the BBC Studios team based in Sydney, including working with the Head of Business & Legal Affairs for ANZ and providing support across other lines of business in ANZ as may be required.

Comfortable assessing risk and making sound commercial and legal recommendations and decisions in challenging circumstances
A track record of providing proactive, specialist, timely and authoritative legal advice and support to senior leaders and key decision-makers
Motivated to develop themselves, to gain experience and work across other business lines as may be required, and to contribute to knowledge sharing across the team

Qualifications and Experience

Required:

Solicitor or barrister qualified in Australia
