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 setting, with some exposure to billing or accounts payable.
- Comfortable picking up current 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 skilled services environment
