If we inspire you to do the work you love, will you still call it work?

  

At EY we believe that whoever you are, your uniqueness helps us stand apart. 

 

We bring together extraordinary people, like you, to build a better working world.

 

The Team:

As part of EY’s Reward team, the leading remuneration consulting practice in Australia, you will work with executive remuneration, total reward, transaction and tax specialists on employee equity plans, and broader remuneration projects. We advise early-stage businesses, established private companies, companies seeking to IPO and major ASX-listed groups - on all aspects of reward.

 

What’s in it for you? 

  • Culture: You belong to a team where you are valued as an individual, and where maintaining a work-life balance is supported through hybrid working;
  • Coaching: One on one coaching with a dedicated counsellor focused on helping you achieve your career ambitions, personal growth aspirations, and maintain your health and wellbeing;
  • Rewarding Work: You’ll have direct exposure to some of Australia’s largest and most high-profile businesses, allowing you to work in a range of sectors, and with clients who are also market leaders;
  • Big experiences: The opportunity to work with other teams within Reward, other local geographies, or even offices around the world - developing your knowledge and skills across multiple disciplines.

 

The Role:

As our Reward Legal Equity Manager, you’ll:

 

  • Help clients design and implement equity-based incentive plans, including executive long-term incentive plans, director equity plans, and broad-based employee share plans;
  • Review and draft equity incentive plan documentation;
  • Provide advice on legal and regulatory implications relating to equity plans and broader remuneration matters;
  • Support clients on their annual report disclosures and AGMs, remuneration-related aspects of transactions and IPOs, and CEO/senior executive appointments and terminations;
  • Advise on compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), ASX listing rules, financial services regulations, and corporate governance requirements with respect to the operation and implementation of equity plans and broader remuneration matters;
  • Manage client projects, and work with boards and senior management;
  • Coach and mentor junior staff.

 

What we’re looking for

  • Experience gained in a consulting, law firm or professional services organisation;
  • Strong legal advisory and drafting skills, ideally in the area of equity incentive plans;
  • Excellent time and people management capabilities; 
  • Ability to build relationships and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
