Job Description

Legal and Administration Assistant - 12-month FTC

We're looking for a Legal and Administration Assistant to be the organisational backbone of our Legal team. This role plays a central role in keeping the Legal team running smoothly.

Day-to-day, you'll manage invoices from start to finish, resolve payment queries, and act as the main point of contact between Legal, Finance, Procurement and external suppliers. You'll also take ownership of budget tracking and financial reporting, monitoring legal spend and creating clear dashboards and reports for stakeholders. The role includes managing shared inboxes, supporting contract execution, and helping with data protection and compliance tasks such as privacy assessments and erasure requests.

We're looking for someone who is highly organised, detail-focused, proactive and comfortable handling multiple priorities at once. You'll need experience in legal operations or administration, finance administration, or a similar support role, along with strong invoice management skills. Confidence with Excel and large datasets is important, as are strong communication skills and the ability to handle confidential information with care. It would be a plus if you've previously supported an in-house legal or compliance team, or have experience with legal billing, data protection work, or systems like Dynamics or SharePoint.

This is a full time position for a 1 year fixed term contract but we would also be open to candidates seeking a part time position of at least 3 days a week.
