Full Job Description

Apt.Residential is a fast-growing build-to-rent (BTR) development and investment manager shaping the future of rental living in Australia.

We create thoughtfully designed homes and connected communities that prioritise resident experience, convenience and long-term value. Our vision is to transform renting into an iconic lifestyle, redefining renting as the ultimate lifestyle investment.

We're looking for an experienced In-house General Counsel to lead our Legal and Governance function. Reporting to the Executive Director, you'll be a trusted advisor to the Executive Team, helping guide strategic decisions while ensuring our legal, governance and commercial frameworks support sustainable growth.

You'll play a key role in partnering with leaders across the business to navigate complexity, manage risk and enable confident decision-making as we continue to grow one of Australia's leading Build to Rent platforms.

We're committed to attracting exceptional talent and recognise that flexibility looks different for everyone. We welcome applications from candidates seeking either full-time or part-time (minimum 3 days per week) arrangements.

What you’ll do:

Provide strategic legal advice across corporate, commercial, property, development and operational matters
Lead Apt's legal and governance function, ensuring legal strategy supports business growth and long-term objectives
Oversee company secretarial responsibilities, board governance and statutory compliance
Lead the review, negotiation and management of commercial contracts, development agreements, leases and transaction documentation
Support acquisitions, developments, investment transactions and financing activities from a legal and governance perspective
Identify, assess and manage legal and commercial risk, providing practical, commercially focused solutions
Partner with Executive, Development, Investment, Operations and Finance teams to support strategic decision-making
Manage external legal advisers to deliver high-quality, cost-effective legal services
Strengthen governance frameworks, policies and processes that support a growing business
Help shape a culture of accountability, integrity and informed decision-making across the organisation

What we’re looking for:

Qualified Australian legal practitioner with a current practising certificate (or eligibility to obtain one)
Extensive post-admission experience within a leading law firm and/or in-house legal environment
Strong experience across corporate, commercial, property and governance law
Demonstrated experience supporting complex property, development, investment or infrastructure transactions
Strong understanding of corporate governance, company secretarial responsibilities and regulatory compliance
Commercial judgement with the ability to balance legal risk and business outcomes
Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships across all levels of the organisation
A practical, solutions-focused mindset and the confidence to provide clear, pragmatic advice
Experience working with executive leadership teams and boards highly regarded
Previous Company Secretary experience or exposure to board governance will be highly regarded

Why join us?

At Apt, we're creating more than homes. We're building thoughtfully designed communities that redefine what renting can be.

As our In-house General Counsel, you'll help shape the legal and governance foundations of a business that's transforming one of Australia's fastest-growing property sectors. You'll work alongside an experienced Executive Team, influencing strategic decisions while supporting the continued growth of our Build to Rent platform.

This is your chance to:

Become a trusted advisor to the Executive Team
Influence strategic decisions across a high-growth property business
Work across complex development, investment and operational matters
Help shape the governance framework of a growing organisation
Build a long-term career in one of Australia's most exciting residential sectors

Apply now and help us redefine renting as the ultimate lifestyle investment!
