Telix Pharmaceuticals is a dynamic, fast-growing radiopharmaceutical company with offices in Australia (HQ), Belgium, Japan, Switzerland, and the United States. Our mission is to deliver on the promise of precision medicine through targeted radiation. At our core, we exist to create products that seek to improve the quality of life for people living with cancer and rare diseases. You will be supporting the international roll-out of our approved prostate cancer imaging agent and helping us to advance our portfolio of late clinical-stage products that address significant unmet need in oncology and rare diseases.

The Assistant Director, Legal Transformation & Enablement leads Telix's legal operations, technology enablement, process optimization, and contracting infrastructure function. This role serves as the strategic bridge between Telix Legal & Compliance and enterprise functions — translating legal and business requirements into scalable systems, workflows, and data-driven processes that enable the department to operate at scale while reducing reliance on external counsel. The role combines hands-on commercial contracts and procurement legal competency with structured legal transformation leadership, including direct ownership of legal technology platform architecture and integrations (Contract Lifecycle Management, e-billing, artificial intelligence tools), process-improvement methodology, vendor management, change management, and departmental metrics/key performance indicator reporting. The role manages the Legal Operations Specialist, United States and is central to the legal function's insourcing thesis (targeting 15-25% outside counsel spend reduction funded through productivity gains and artificial intelligence-enabled efficiency). This job description incorporates enhancements informed by benchmarking against comparable legal transformation and enablement leadership roles at other companies.

This role is the legal function’s transformation lead: part lawyer or legal-operations expert, part systems architect, part change leader. It owns the operating model that allows a lean global legal department to scale, reduce external counsel reliance, and improve business-partner experience.

We are a dynamic, fast-growing biopharmaceutical company where everyone counts. In addition to competitive salaries, we offer health and wellbeing incentives, bonus incentives, and support for learning and development. You will be part of an engaged and supportive group of colleagues who all have a shared purpose: to help people with cancer and rare diseases live longer, better quality lives.
