Job description

Team Executive | High-Exposure Legal Role (12-Month FTC)

Job title : Legal Secretary Location : Sydney

  • Up to $100k package | Immediate start | Sydney CBD
  • Work across multiple practice groups | Partner-facing exposure
  • Structured flexibility | Leading national firm

The Opportunity

We are partnering with a leading national law firm to recruit a Team Executive into a highly visible, dynamic position supporting across multiple practice groups.

Rather than being tied to one desk, you’ll step into key Partner and senior stakeholder portfolios, providing seamless support during periods of leave and acting as a trusted go-to across the business – giving you exposure that is rarely offered in more traditional, siloed roles.

It’s a rare opportunity to gain broad exposure, deepen your billing expertise, and work with a range of high-performing teams – all within a structured and well-supported environment, where you’ll quickly build strong internal visibility and credibility.

The Role

You’ll be stepping into established desks, quickly getting up to speed and ensuring continuity across teams. Responsibilities will include:

  • Managing complex diaries, inboxes and stakeholder coordination
  • End-to-end billing and time entry (high volume, especially at EOM)
  • Preparing legal documents, correspondence and matter management
  • Coordinating travel and meetings
  • Opening/closing matters and maintaining files
  • Acting as a reliable, adaptable support across different teams and practice areas

Each team operates differently – giving you exposure to varying billing structures, workflows and Partner styles.

The Expertise 

This role suits someone who enjoys variety and can confidently step into new environments.

You will have:

  • 4–5+ years’ experience within a legal support role
  • Strong billing experience (essential)
  • Experience supporting Partners or senior stakeholders
  • A proactive, adaptable approach with strong attention to detail
  • The ability to quickly build rapport and hit the ground running
