Job Description
We are Assembly Four,
a fast growing, purpose-driven technology company dedicated to fostering positive change within the sex work, human rights, LGBTQIA+, and intersecting communities.
We operate on the belief that impact is as important as profit , and work in collaboration with sex workers from around the globe to develop products and services that empower them to thrive, not just survive.
Everyone should have the autonomy
to make decisions about their bodies and sexual lives without fear of violence or discrimination. This is a fundamental human right, and one that sex workers are still fighting for.
If you’re eager to join a remote-first team
with diverse representation from sex worker, neurodivergent, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities, committed to advancing sex worker autonomy and liberation through advocacy and innovative products, read on.
The role
As a Legal Counsel at Assembly Four, you are responsible for delivering high-quality legal advice and operational legal support within your delegated remit, under the direction of the General Counsel. You apply professional judgement to support Assembly Four’s legal integrity, regulatory compliance, and ethical standards, while continuing to build breadth and depth across core in-house practice areas.
This role will work closely with our Customer and Platform groups, blending sound legal, ethical and risk judgment with commercial acumen. From assisting our developers and moderators, to co-ordinating cross-functional projects, your involvement in all aspects of the business is not just encouraged – it’s essential. As a result, it requires comfort working in both well established areas of legal precedent as well as novel and rapidly developing legal landscapes.
What you'll do
Provide timely, accurate, and practical legal advice to internal stakeholders within your area of responsibility, under the supervision of the General Counsel.
Manage a portfolio of legal matters, including recurring operational issues and low‑to‑medium risk matters, escalating appropriately where issues exceed delegated authority or risk tolerance.
Support product, operational, and people teams by identifying legal risks, requirements, and options early in planning and delivery.
Assist in translating legal advice into clear actions, guidance, and documentation for the business.
Work closely within cross-functional teams to support the management, moderation and development of Assembly Four’s products.
About you
A Bachelor of Laws or Juris Doctor and admission to practice in Victoria or any other Australian jurisdiction (except SA).
3–6 years legal post-qualification experience in a reputable law firm and/or in-house legal team, with exposure to commercial, regulatory law relevant to Assembly Four’s operations. Experience in highly regulated industries, technology or privacy will be highly regarded.
Ethically motivated and driven by social impact: you take an active interest in diversity and the empowerment of marginalised communities, and prioritise human rights and values as an integral part of your work on both at societal level, and in your day-to-day in the workplace.
Demonstrate solid technical legal skills and the ability to apply established law, precedents, and templates to day-to-day matters with limited supervision.
Able to identify legal risk and assess its materiality in context.
Communicate legal advice clearly and practically to non‑legal audiences and demonstrate the ability to bring together cross-functional teams to achieve great outcomes.
Possess both commercial acumen and human empathy, with the ability to balance both heart and mind in your decision making. You know what you know, curious about what you don’t, and you’re prepared to have your assumptions challenged.
Interested in learning about the complex intersection of laws and regulations that affect technology products, sex work, human rights, LGBTQIA+, and intersecting communities.
In an ideal world, you would also have
Previous experience engaging with and a willingness to learn about marginalised communities, particularly sex workers, neurodivergent individuals, and people with disability.
Experience in or a strong understanding of sex work.
Experience working in both technology startup environments and remote / hybrid work settings.
