Full Job Description

The SunRice Group is an Australian ASX-listed branded food group, comprising multiple businesses, assets and operations across Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, the United States, the Pacific Islands and Asia. SunRice was built by the Australian rice industry over many decades and today is one of Australia’s leading branded food exporters, with approximately 2,000 employees and operations in 11 countries.

SunRice is a great place to work, providing a real opportunity for passionate people to make a difference.

About the role

Reporting to the Group General Counsel & Company Secretary, the Legal Counsel (Governance & Compliance) plays a key role in supporting the integrity, transparency and regulatory compliance of the SunRice Group. The role provides practical, commercially focused legal advice across a diverse and dynamic, ASX‑listed organisation, with exposure to both domestic and international operations.

You’ll be an important part of the SunRice Group legal team, and work closely with the Board, senior leaders and cross‑functional stakeholders, supporting Board and Committee processes, corporate governance, ASX compliance and continuous disclosure, while also supporting the Legal team with compliance and contributing to broader legal and strategic initiatives.

This is a hands‑on, high‑exposure role suited to a lawyer who enjoys working collaboratively with the business, balancing legal rigour with pragmatic, commercially sound solutions.

Key responsibilities will include:
Supporting compliance with ASX Listing Rules, the Corporations Act and continuous disclosure obligations, including preparation and lodgement of ASX announcements, annual reports and other mandatory disclosures
Supporting the Company Secretary with end‑to‑end Board and Committee processes, including agendas, papers, minutes, resolutions and action tracking
Advising on corporate governance matters in line with ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations
Maintaining and enhancing Group compliance frameworks, including policies, training materials and reporting registers
Monitoring legislative and regulatory developments and advising on impacts to the Group, including across domestic and offshore operations
Supporting Group‑wide compliance training and policy implementation initiatives
Contributing to the continuous improvement of legal processes, templates and capability across the business

About You

You’re a capable and confident in‑house or commercial/corporate lawyer with a strong interest in corporate governance and regulatory compliance, who enjoys being close to the business and making a meaningful impact. You bring sound legal judgement, strong communication skills and a practical, solutions‑focused approach.

You’re comfortable working across a wide range of legal matters, can manage competing priorities and build trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels. Most importantly, you enjoy being part of a purpose‑led organisation with strong regional and global connections

You will bring:
A tertiary qualification in Law and current practising certificate in Australia
Experience gained in an in‑house legal role and/or in private practice in an area such as corporate/commercial law or compliance
Experience supporting governance or compliance obligations for ASX listed clients or inhouse for an ASX‑listed company
A pragmatic, business‑partnering mindset with the ability to simplify complex legal issues
High levels of integrity, attention to detail and sound judgement
Strong stakeholder engagement skills and the confidence to influence outcomes

What’s in it for you

At SunRice Group, we believe great work starts with feeling supported, valued and inspired. When you join our team, you’ll enjoy a range of benefits designed to support your wellbeing, growth and everyday life.

SunRice Product Allowance: Take home a taste of what we do best. You’ll receive a weekly allowance of SunRice Group products, so you can enjoy and share the food we’re proud to make.
Leave: Enjoy competitive leave benefits, including volunteer leave and the option to purchase additional leave when you need extra flexibility.
Wellness Reimbursement: Your wellbeing matters. Twice a year, you’ll be reimbursed for fitness memberships or other health and wellbeing initiatives that help you feel your best

If you enjoy supporting informed decision‑making at Board and executive level, this is a role where your work truly matters.

All correspondence will be dealt with in strict confidence.

SunRice is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. SunRice will consider qualified applicants for employment based on their merit, individual skills, qualifications and other appropriate criteria relevant to the role for which they are applying
