contractor Remote

AI overview

Contribute legal expertise directly tied to business growth in a dynamic team, ensuring compliance and operational efficiency in a high-paced environment.

At Go1, we’re on a mission to help organizations deliver learning and development in more relevant, timely, and effective ways. From a small startup to now a global brand - we’ve grown by solving hard problems, embracing ambiguity, and never standing still.

If you thrive on change, get energy from big, complex challenges, and are excited to grow fast alongside smart, ambitious people, then Go1 might be exactly what you’re looking for. We offer autonomy with accountability, space to experiment, and the opportunity to shape solutions that impact millions of learners worldwide. We don’t have all the answers — and that’s the point. We figure it out together. Every line of code, every conversation, every bold idea helps move us closer to our mission: to enable individuals, organizations, and society to progress. There’s still so much to build — and even more to discover. Go there with us...

At Go1, our Legal team isn’t hidden in a corner reviewing contracts all day — we’re embedded in the heart of the business. As our next Legal Counsel, you’ll partner with teams across Sales, Partnerships, People Ops, Finance, Product, and InfoSec to keep Go1 moving fast and staying safe. You’ll work closely with our General Counsel, jump into meaningful commercial work, and help shape the legal operations of a high-growth global company. This is a 12-month parental leave contract, and it’s perfect for someone who loves variety, ownership, and being the person people rely on for clarity and good judgment.

Make an impact. Move fast. Help shape how legal works in a global SaaS scale-up.

Here’s a Taste of What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Providing practical, fast legal advice that helps teams get things done without unnecessary blockers.
  • Owning Lexion workflows — reviewing, drafting, and negotiating commercial contracts that align with Go1’s standards.
  • Negotiating and amending licensing agreements, DPAs, supplier agreements, and partner contracts.
  • Advising on global data privacy laws and supporting privacy-by-design within our product and engineering teams.
  • Building strong partnerships across Sales, Finance, People, Product and InfoSec.
  • Helping Go1 stay compliant with privacy, security and regulatory obligations across markets.
  • Creating training, playbooks, and educational resources to make legal simple and accessible.
  • Reducing dependence on external counsel by tackling more work internally.
  • Improving legal processes and helping build scalable, efficient systems that support Go1’s next stage of growth. 

You will have: 

  • 5–8 PQE, admitted to practice in Australia (US/UK qualified also welcome).
  • Experience in a technology or SaaS environment—either in-house or private practice (preferred but not essential)
  • Strong drafting and negotiation skills + a sharp commercial mindset.
  • Confident communicator who can translate “legal” into plain language for teams across the globe.
  • Relationship-builder who enjoys collaborating with Sales, Product, and technical teams.
  • Ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast, high-growth environment.
  • A proactive, solutions-oriented approach—someone who sees Legal as an enabler, not a blocker.
  • A team player with a positive, “hands-on” energy who values learning, impact and supporting others.

Join our team at Go1 and be at the forefront of transforming education through innovative learning solutions. Together, we can change the world. One learner at time.
