Job Details

I’m working with a global law firm on a Personal Assistant opportunity within their Employment team. The role has come up due to an internal promotion and sits within a stable, well-established team.

The focus of the role is supporting a very busy Employment Partner, someone where you need to be consistently one step ahead, anticipating needs and ensuring everything runs smoothly.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment, stays calm under pressure, and takes pride in being across the detail before it becomes an issue.

Why this role stands out:

  • Friendly, supportive team orientated environment;

  • Global firm environment with clear career progression;

  • Flexible working with 1-day WFH; and

  • Earn a salary up to $105,000 package negotiable.

Key responsibilities:

  • Managing emails, diaries, travel and expenses;

  • Preparing correspondence, presentations and overseeing document production;

  • Matter administration, compliance checks and engagement letters;

  • Supporting client relationships, events and business development;

  • Managing billing processes and invoicing; and

  • Mentoring junior team members and assisting with wider admin support.

About you:

  • Minimum 2+ years’ experience as a Legal Secretary within a law firm;

  • Experience supporting a Partner and a team of lawyers;

  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail;

  • Proactive, self-starting approach with the ability to anticipate needs and stay one step ahead; and

  • Adaptable and confident working independently.
