Protect what matters and advocate for our future

Provide trusted guidance and strategic insight that safeguards our people, our products, and our purpose.

If you’re skilled in legal frameworks and passionate about advocacy, your expertise could help shape the future of our co-op. At Fonterra, our Legal and NZ Government Affairs teams offer unique opportunities to make a meaningful impact—whether you're guiding global strategy or influencing domestic policy. Join our award-winning Legal team, recognised five years running as New Zealand In-House Legal Team of the Year at the Australasian Law Awards. You’ll work alongside senior lawyers, corporate counsel, and general counsel to deliver strategic, commercial advice to leaders across the business. Or bring your policy insight to our NZ Government Affairs team—Fonterra’s connection to the domestic political landscape. Here, you’ll help build partnerships with central government, advocate for our co-op’s interests, and ensure our voice is heard where it matters most. Whichever path you choose, you’ll grow your career in a team that values your perspective, supports your development, and empowers you to shape outcomes that matter.
