Looking for your next challenge in a dynamic, small team where no two days are the same? Love keeping things organized, running smoothly, and making a real impact? We need YOU

Norris Echetebu Law is on the lookout for a solutions-focused Practice Manager to take the reins on our operations, finance, and administration. We're a small boutique U.S. law firm based in New Zealand, and we need someone who thrives on problem-solving, streamlining workflows, and keeping everything ticking like clockwork. If you love variety, taking ownership, and being the go-to person in a close-knit team, this is the role for you.

What You'll Be Doing:
  • Running the day-to-day operations of our firm – you'll be the glue that holds us together.
  • Managing office maintenance, supplies, vendors, and external service providers.
  • Being the first point of contact for client enquiries and office communications.
  • Handling financial processes like invoicing, budgeting, and reporting – keeping us on track
  • Supporting business development, networking, and social media marketing (let's make some noise)
  • Implementing tech and workflow improvements to make things more efficient and stress-free.
  • Providing critical support to the Managing Partner, lawyers, and legal support team.
  • Assisting lawyers with scheduling, calendar management, and admin tasks to keep them on top of their game

This is an in-office role at our contemporary Parnell workspace.

What We're Looking For:
  • Experience in operations or office management (bonus points for law firm or professional services experience).
  • You are familiar with bookkeeping software and basic accounting principles.
  • Strong administrative and project execution skills – multitasking is your superpower.
  • A business, finance, or related qualification would be great, but experience and attitude count too.
  • A natural problem-solver who loves taking ownership and getting things done - like a dog with a bone
  • Detail-oriented with a knack for keeping things accurate and efficient.
  • Trustworthy, professional, and able to handle confidential information like a pro.
  • A people person, approachable, professional, and client-focused.
  • Tech-savvy and passionate about digital transformation, comfortable with legal tech, accounting tools, and CRM systems.
Why Join Us?
  • Women-led, supportive, and fun team – we take our work seriously but love a good laugh
  • Gain international experience & have the opportunity to talk with leading experts and NZ businesses/professionals.
  • A varied and engaging role – you'll never be bored
  • Wellbeing benefits and ongoing professional development – we invest in our people.
