• The successful candidate will report to the HR Manager, and will be responsible for providing high quality administrative support to the team.
• This is a very broad role, which will encompass all aspects of administration across the employee lifecycle, including but not limited to, data input, running reports, analysing and presenting data, providing figures, keeping accurate records, managing administrative projects, compliance and regulatory tasks.

• You will have worked in professional services, ideally in a law firm.
