If you are the type of person who likes to have a real say in how things run, this role could be one worth looking at.

We are working on a confidential search for an experienced Operations Manager to join a well-regarded boutique Sydney CBD law firm. This is a senior, hands on role that is available immediately and requires someone who can take ownership from day one.

The firm is going through a period of change and needs a steady, experienced operator who knows how to keep a legal practice running smoothly while things evolve around them. If you are someone who thrives in that environment, this is worth a conversation.

What the role involves:

• Overseeing the day to day operations of a busy legal practice;

• Leading and supporting a team of EAs and Paralegals;

• Owning payroll and key finance processes;

• Managing facilities, suppliers and internal workflows;

• Supporting the Directors with reporting, operational insights and meeting preparation;

• Championing practice management and document management systems;

• Identifying efficiencies and driving improvements across the business; and

• Contributing to culture, engagement and internal communications.

What they are looking for:

• 5 plus years in an Operations Manager role within a law firm or professional services environment;

• Strong finance and payroll experience;

• Proven experience leading and developing support teams;

• Familiarity with legal practice management systems;

• A proactive, solutions focused approach with the ability to manage competing priorities;

• Strong communication skills and confidence working with stakeholders at all levels; and

• Candidates with a finance background who have moved into operations are strongly encouraged to apply.

What is on offer:

• Up to $150,000 plus super, depending on experience;

• Senior role with direct access to the Directors and a real seat at the table; and

• The autonomy to make decisions and drive change from day one.
