Job description
Team Assistant in Legal Financial Operations
You've recently left School or University, and you're looking for a job that can give you a successful career and a prosperous future.
You'll need to be good with numbers and have strong organisational and written communication skills.
Perhaps you don't have professional confidence yet? But don't worry, exposure to this environment will help you develop belief quickly.
If the above rings true, then get in touch today. Positions offering such training and development don't come up often.
What will I be doing?
This entry-level trainee finance and operations role supports a busy team of lawyers helping innovative technology companies establish themselves in a global market.
You'll support the Team Coordinator, who is well-thought-of in the department and knows your job inside-out, so the training will be exemplary and hands-on.
The lawyers are busy and require onsite support from Monday to Friday, so you'll enjoy being in the City daily.
Initially, your position will be heavily administrative, dealing with photocopying, invoicing and data entry. But the role is incredibly varied.
You'll likely be undertaking new duties from week to week, and over the next 12 months, you'll be learning about billing, accounts receivable, credit control, WIP (work-in-progress management), liaising with senior management and varied projects.
With hard work and a positive 'can-do' attitude, you'll eventually become a pivotal team member in a position where you can make a difference and where you'll be given a level of autonomy rarely found in roles jobs at your level.
So, where can this take you?
Legal revenue positions earn top-end salaries for non-management careers. Or you can move into an EA/PA role eventually.
It will depend on where you want to go, but make no mistake, finance will play an integral part of this position, so you should be confident with numbers.
Is it a good company to work for?
That's the easy part. As a leading international law firm, this organisation has a reputation which is second to none.
Most won't have the opportunity to start their career in such a prominent company. You should act now, if you're looking for a successful future in professional services.
If you'll enjoy working in stunning offices alongside highly educated peers within a well-respected industry, send your CV for immediate consideration.
You don't need experience, just a strong work ethic and the energy to always help.
