About Us 🚀: Immutable is the world's fastest-growing game platform, built to power the next generation of games. We sit at the intersection of AI-driven analytics, high-performance growth tools and seamless digital ownership, helping studios attract, engage and scale player communities across both Web2 and Web3. Founded in 2018, we're one of the fastest Australian companies to reach unicorn status, raising more than AUD $400M+ at a valuation of AUD $3.5B.

Immutable Audience, our newest product line, is the fastest-growing SaaS in our history. We're scaling fast, and that's the fun part. 🚀

We're hiring a Head of Legal to lead the full spectrum of regulatory and product advisory work as well as work across Commercial and Corporate matters with the Legal Risk and Compliance (LRC) team as we scale our SaaS business.

And you'll partner closely with Operations to bring AI and automation into how legal actually gets delivered. This suits a Sydney-based senior in-house counsel who operates with autonomy, judgement and pace, and who can turn complex legal and regulatory issues into clear, practical advice: what teams can do, what they can't, and what happens next. This is a snapshot of what you'll pick up from day one. Like everything at a scale-up, it'll evolve. What Makes This Role Different ✨ You'll design a modern LRC operating model from scratch, including AI-enabled workflows that put our legal function at the genuine front of how in-house teams work. Not a legacy function to tend, a new one to shape.

You'll have autonomy and direct access to our Founders and Executive, with the mandate to influence how the whole business moves. If you want to be the person who defines what great looks like rather than inheriting it, this is the role.
