About Matilda Migration

Co-founded by ex-Eucalyptus and ex-BGC operators, Matilda is completely reimagining the visa application process in Australia by building a first-of-its-kind digital migration platform. We've recently secured Seed-stage funding and are growing fast - this is your chance to get in early and help redefine an outdated industry.

Overview

• We’re hiring another lawyer to join our lean, high-performance team - and if you're a lawyer looking to broaden your horizons beyond a traditional legal career, this role could be for you.
• You'll play a critical role in delivering outstanding legal services to our clients, whilst simultaneously helping to shape the digital product we're building to scale our impact.
• We're looking for an admitted lawyer with a start-up mindset - someone who thrives when working autonomously, enjoys streamlining processes with tech, and is driven by impact.
• This role is perfect for a lawyer who wants to move into startups, as it's an opportunity to utilise your legal experience whilst building a much broader operational skillset and business acumen.
  
  

If we’re successful together, this will be career rocket fuel.

The Role (What You’ll Be Doing)

• Own the Client Journey: You’ll manage the client relationship and coordinate the visa application process end-to-end using the Matilda platform - from eligibility screening right up to lodgement.
• Deliver Excellent Outcomes: Work with senior lawyers and migration experts to prepare and review visa applications with a high attention to detail, and a focus on the client experience.
• Streamline and Systematise: Identify workflow bottlenecks and help implement tools and processes that improve speed, quality, and consistency.
• Wear Multiple Hats: Collaborate across functions - in an early-stage startup, you’ll have exposure beyond pure legal work, including Operations, Growth and Product.
  
  

About You (Who You Are)

Must-Have

• A law degree and 1–3 years of experience working as a lawyer.
• Demonstrated track record of outperforming peers in academic, professional, or extracurricular settings.

• A client-obsessed mindset - you consistently put client outcomes first, and use this to guide decisions and problem solving.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organisational ability and attention to detail under pressure.
  
  

Nice-to-Have

• Experience in a startup, or in the migration or legal tech sector.
