You'll start by getting across our systems and running complex, high-value matters.
Once you're established, you'll grow your own team as the practice expands.
This role is based at our Hindmarsh office.
Once you're fully across our systems and processes, there's scope for some flexibility in how you work.
Why you'll love it here

Room to grow – your role and your team will grow as the practice expands, with support every step of the way

Recruiting, mentoring and leading your own team as we grow
Representing the firm at industry events and with key corporate clients
What you'll bring

Typically 5+ years in migration practice – but we care most about what you can do
Experience supervising or mentoring others,



or the drive to step up and show us you're ready
Strong technical knowledge across multiple visa streams, and great judgement
The ability to build and maintain strong relationships with corporate clients and industry stakeholders
