Cochlear has an opportunity for a 12-month full-time fixed-term Legal Counsel role based at our global headquarters in Macquarie University, Sydney.
Reporting to the Deputy General Counsel - R&D, IP & Global Strategic Marketing, you will join a high-performing global legal team supporting one of Australia's most recognised medical technology companies.
