Content Developer - Legal Publishing (Primary Law)

Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland or Wellington | Hybrid working

About the Role

This is a commercially focused content development role working across one of the most important and highest revenue-generating portfolios at LexisNexis — Primary Law (cases and legislation) across Australia and New Zealand.

You won’t be writing or editing content. Instead, you’ll take a strategic, portfolio-wide view to identify gaps, spot opportunities, and bring new content ideas to life.

Working end-to-end, you’ll develop proposals, build business cases, and project manage new products through to publication and delivery — partnering closely with editorial, product, sales and marketing teams.

This is ideal for someone who enjoys combining commercial thinking, project management, and content strategy in a highly collaborative environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Review the existing Primary Law portfolio to identify gaps, trends, and growth opportunities

• Develop proposals for new content initiatives, products, or enhancements

• Build commercially sound business cases (including ROI, risk, and market opportunity)

• Lead projects end-to-end — from concept through to publication and delivery

• Work cross-functionally with editorial, product, sales, and marketing teams

• Engage with external authors, partners, and licensing opportunities where relevant

• Contribute to the ongoing growth and performance of a key revenue-generating portfolio

About the Content

You’ll be working across a broad, high-impact content portfolio, including:

• Cases and Legislation (Primary Law)

• Books, journals, newsletters, and licensed content

• All legal practice areas across Australia and New Zealand

• A wide customer audience — from lawyers and firms to academics and practitioners

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in content development, publishing, legal, or a related professional environment

• Strong commercial mindset — able to assess opportunities and prioritise effectively

• Proven project management skills with the ability to drive initiatives end-to-end

• Confident stakeholder engagement skills across multiple teams

• Ability to think strategically across a portfolio, not just individual products

• Legal industry exposure is helpful but not essential

Why Join LexisNexis?

• Work on strategically important, market-leading legal content

• High visibility role with real commercial impact

• Collaborative, cross-functional environment

• Strong focus on career development and growth

• Flexible hybrid working (AU or NZ locations)

• Additional annual leave options

• Health and wellbeing support, including EAP

• Insurance benefits and income protection

• Learning and development opportunities

• Retail discounts and wellbeing programs
