If you're a sharp, detail‑obsessed law graduate who prefers building and running things over the traditional solicitor route, this is a great opportunity to build your career in the technology sector.

The Role

• Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll operate across legal, operations, finance, HR, and compliance - becoming a trusted "right‑hand" who helps keep the company running smoothly.
• You'll work with the tools that power the business, including Claude AI, Monday.com, and PandaDocs, while also taking ownership of core operational processes.
• This role offers exposure that most graduates don't see for years.

Key Responsibilities

Legal & Contract Work

• You will prepare, review, and manage: NDAs, Employment Contracts, Commercial Agreements, Data Protection Policies and other legal documentation.
• You will oversee client and supplier contract administration.
• You will coordinate with external counsel when specialist input is required.

Operations & Internal Support

• You will maintain internal processes, documentation, and company policies.
• You will collaborate with the Head of Technology on compliance and information‑security tasks.
• You will support HR/Operations with people processes and internal coordination.
• You will work with Xero to take ownership of day‑to‑day bookkeeping and assist with basic invoicing and financial administration.

Your Profile

• You hold a law degree from a leading university with an excellent prior academic record.
• You are commercially‑driven, and you're looking to build a long‑term career in business, rather than the traditional private‑practice world.
• You are tech‑savvy, curious, organised and able to pick up new tools & solve problems quickly.
• You are a team player with excellent communication skill.
• You are detail‑driven with and have a process mindset.
• You are capable and happy when working independently as part of a remote team.
