Who we are and what we do
 
Audinate leads the world in networked media with our "Dante" technology which is used extensively in professional audio & video applications, including live events, broadcast, entertainment venues and communication systems.  
  
Dante replaces all audio and video connections with a computer network, effortlessly sending video or hundreds of channels of audio over slender Ethernet cables with perfect digital fidelity. Adopted by hundreds of manufacturers in thousands of products, Dante is the de facto standard for modern AV connectivity.
 
You’ll find us in the largest companies and institutions like the Sydney Opera House, NFL Media Headquarters, Microsoft, major universities and even a 900-year old cathedral featured in Harry Potter.

About the role

You will be responsible for running an in-house legal function that pragmatically balances the efficiency and effectiveness of in-house resources with the sensible use of external counsel.  You will primarily be responsible for providing high-level internal legal advice and support for commercial contracts, corporate legal matters (including M&A) and sourcing and will manage external legal expertise when necessary.  Reporting to our CFO, you'll also be responsible for company secretarial matters for the Audinate Group entities and will act as Company Secretary for ASX listed Audinate Group Ltd, and provide legal input on governance and administrative matters.

Why Audinate 

This role offers the opportunity to lead the legal function of an ASX listed global business where you will be exposed to a broad range of legal matters across a variety of jurisdictions and have direct engagement with the Board of Directors through the Company Secretarial Role. Audinate provides a flexible working environment and this role genuinely offers work-life balance!
