About Omnidian

Omnidian, Inc. is a fast-growing Series C tech-enabled service company revolutionizing performance assurance for the distributed solar and energy storage industries.  Omnidian is building a more sustainable future for the planet through our passionate teams, our innovative technology, and by creating an amazing customer experience.

We are headquartered in the US and began our Australia team in 2022, with exciting growth since then. In 2025, Omnidian acquired Solar Service Guys, Australia’s largest dedicated solar service network, delivering industry-leading support across the full lifecycle of solar PV systems for over 17 years. Headquartered in Brisbane, SSG is known for its nationwide reach and expertise in design, monitoring, maintenance, and repair of solar systems for residential and commercial clients.

Omnidian’s AI-powered performance assurance platform supports over 380,000 asset years of data and now extends its reach into the Australian market—further enhancing service capabilities through this strategic partnership. Together, we’re delivering cutting-edge support and unmatched customer experience to solar investors across the globe.



The Job

Omnidian is looking for a well-rounded Senior Counsel to support our growing Australian operations. This is an ideal opportunity for a mid- to senior-level legal professional who thrives in dynamic environments, enjoys variety in their work, and is excited to help build a legal function with global reach. Reporting to our VP of Legal, you will act as the go-to legal advisor in Australia, partnering closely with business teams to drive growth, ensure compliance, and navigate the evolving regulatory landscape. If you’re aiming to grow into a General Counsel role one day and want broad exposure across commercial, corporate, privacy, and employment matters—this is your launchpad.
