Job description

IREN is a vertically integrated AI Cloud provider, delivering large-scale data centers and GPU clusters for AI training and inference. IREN’s platform is underpinned by its expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and power in renewable-rich regions across North America, Europe and APAC. With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way – responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in.

IREN is seeking a Legal Administrative Assistant to provide day-to-day administrative support to the Legal team, working closely with lawyers and business stakeholders to keep the team running smoothly. The main priority of the role is managing legal billing - processing invoices, purchase orders and service entry sheets in SAP, and coordinating monthly accrual requests - with a smaller amount of billing support for Risk & Compliance. Beyond billing, the role also provides broader administrative support across the Legal team, and occasionally other departments, as required.

Job requirements

• 2–5 years' experience in an administrative or team support role, ideally within a legal or professional services environment, with some exposure to billing or accounts payable.
• Comfortable picking up new systems - experience with SAP or a similar ERP system is a plus, but not essential.
• Willingness to learn purchase-to-pay (P2P) processes, including purchase orders, service entry sheets, and invoice matching.
• Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy across both billing and general admin tasks.
• Ability to work collaboratively with multiple business units and stakeholders, including outside counsel.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to juggle competing priorities and deadlines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Confident investigating and resolving discrepancies or queries as they come up.
• Proactive mindset with the ability to identify process improvements and efficiencies.
• Ability to work autonomously while also integrating effectively within a team.
• Strong time management skills and ability to adapt to changing priorities.
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive financial and legal information.
• Prior experience within a professional services environment

Job responsibilities

Billing (primary focus)

• Provide SAP support to the Legal team for billing-related activities.
• Receive incoming invoices from outside counsel and legal vendors, ensuring transactions are accurately coded to the correct legal entity, cost centre, and general ledger account.
• Provide the same invoice and billing support outlined above for Risk & Compliance vendors, on a smaller scale than Legal.
• Create and process purchase orders in SAP for legal matters and vendor engagements, ensuring purchase orders are raised prior to services being received.
• Perform service entry receipting (Service Entry Sheets) and ensure transactions are processed in a timely manner to enable vendor payment and support accurate financial reporting.
• Assist with invoice matching and resolution of discrepancies between purchase orders, service entry sheets, and invoices.
• Monitor open purchase orders and ensure outstanding items are followed up and resolved.
• Liaise with internal stakeholders and vendors to resolve billing and invoice queries.
• Conduct regular check-ins with Accounts Payable to track invoice status and troubleshoot payment delays.
• Send monthly legal accrual emails to internal business clients, requesting outstanding accrual information for the relevant period.
• Maintain legal billing documentation and ensure records are complete and audit ready.
• Identify opportunities to improve legal billing workflows and SAP processes.
• Provide guidance to business users on legal billing processes and SAP best practices, as needed.
• Assist with audit requests and provide supporting documentation when required.

General Legal Team & Administrative Support

• Provide general administrative support to the Legal department - and other departments as needed - during peak periods or as directed by management.
• Assist with day-to-day administrative needs of the Legal team, such as diary coordination, correspondence, filing, and document management, as required.
• Support the onboarding of new Legal team members.
• Help organise team events as needed.
• Collate documents for signature.
• Coordinate meeting bookings.
• Assist with processing team expenses.
• Help arrange team travel.
• Help with team expenses on Concur.
• Support the Legal team with ad hoc projects and tasks outside of billing as priorities allow.

Compensation & Rewards

• Competitive salary range, finalized based on experience and impact
• Short and long-term incentive programs designed to reward both results and long term company success
• Comprehensive extended health and dental coverage to keep you and your family supported
• Paid vacation to recharge, travel, or simply enjoy more life outside of work
