The opportunity

The Marketing Suite is a core part of our legal delivery. It covers trade promotions, advertising compliance, competition and consumer law, and marketing approvals. Clients include some of the world's best-known brands. The work is demanding, high-profile and high-stakes.

As the Legal Manager, you will own the Marketing Suite end-to-end — the people, the clients, the quality, and the commercial results.

This is a player-coach role. You will not step back from the work. You will step into leading it. You will manage junior and senior lawyers, set the quality standard, hold the most important client relationships, and own the team's delivery, retention and growth.

AI is central to how this team works. Our model combines legal expertise with AI-enabled efficiency. You do not need to be technical. You do need to see AI as the infrastructure that lets a lean, flexible team deliver at enterprise scale.

What you'll own

• Team leadership and performance. Set expectations, allocate workload, run 1:1s, and develop people.
• Enterprise client relationships. Be the trusted adviser our biggest marketing law clients rely on.
• Delivery quality. Own the standard across all Marketing Suite output, caught before it reaches the client.
• Commercial outcomes. Retention, CSAT, expansion opportunities and utilisation.
• AI-enabled operations. Make AI standard practice across the team, not an experiment.
• Talent development. Coach junior lawyers into senior ones and close skill gaps.
• Knowledge and precedent. Systematise what the team knows so every matter makes the next one faster.
• Stakeholder management. Connect the Marketing Suite to Sales, Customer, Product and the wider legal team.

What we're looking for

• Deep, demonstrated expertise in marketing and advertising law. This is non-negotiable. Trade promotions, advertising compliance, and competition and consumer law.
• A leadership track record. You have led, mentored or developed a team of lawyers, formally or informally.
• Authority with senior enterprise clients. GCs and senior marketing leaders trust you by name.
• Commercial acumen. You think like a business leader, not just a lawyer.
• A pragmatic view of AI. You will drive adoption and lead by example.
• Low ego and high agency. You own outcomes, keep your word, and find it hard to coast.

We care about capability, not a number of years. The right person might be 6 years PQE on an exceptional trajectory. They might be 12 years with real breadth. What matters is that you have led, delivered at enterprise level, and are ready to own a function.

About Plexus

Legal protects 90% of enterprise value. In most organisations, it's still slow, expensive, and stretched impossibly thin — one lawyer for every 500 employees. Nine out of ten legal tasks go unsupported.

Plexus is the Legal Operating System for the modern enterprise. We help in-house legal teams automate and scale legal work across the business — faster, with less cost, and less risk.

We're trusted by Coca-Cola, Nike, L'Oréal, PepsiCo, Woolworths, and Asahi. Our clients report 65% productivity gains.

We're not a law firm. We're not a traditional software company. We're building something new — and we're not done yet.

We care less about your CV and more about how you work. The people who thrive at Plexus share three things:

You get the job done — fast. You deliver outcomes, not activity. You don't wait for perfect information or perfect conditions. You figure it out, you ship it, you move on. If you say you'll do something, it's done.

You're always getting better. You actively seek feedback and act on it. You pick up new tools and ways of working without waiting for a training course. You treat AI and technology as something to master, not avoid. Six months in, you should be noticeably better at your job than the day you started.

You own the outcome. You don't wait for someone to remove blockers — you remove them yourself. You think about what the business needs, not just what your role description says. If something needs doing and you can do it, you do it.
