About Vable
Vable is a news aggregation and publishing platform that supports international law firms, consultancies and government departments in staying ahead of critical developments.
We help our clients manage information overload by streamlining the way they discover, curate and share vast volumes of professional content. By delivering the right information to the right people at the right time, we enable lawyers and business leaders to stay informed, respond faster, and make confident decisions - all while saving valuable time.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a detail-oriented and curious law graduate to join Vable in a varied role spanning legal operations, contract management, and compliance, with the opportunity to develop financial skills alongside your core legal work.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career to gain broad business experience while working directly with the CEO. You'll take ownership of contract management, support the InfoSec team with compliance and risk management, and learn financial operations fundamentals including bookkeeping in Xero.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives on variety, has exceptional attention to detail, is numerically confident, and wants to learn and grow into additional responsibilities. You'll be a legal professional who can also handle numbers, not a finance person learning legal work.
What You’ll Be Doing (Day to Day)
Legal & Contract Administration
Manage all client and supplier contracts through their lifecycle
Review and finalise standard contracts - (NDAs, service agreements, supplier contracts) - you'll spot issues, suggest improvements, and maintain our contract repository
Maintain organised contract repository with key dates, obligations, and renewal tracking
Coordinate with external legal counsel when needed
Policy & Compliance Management
Support Head of InfoSec with information security documentation and compliance
Coordinate policy reviews, approvals, and implementation across the organisation
Conduct supplier risk assessments and audits for key high-risk suppliers
Maintain current copies of supplier certifications, security credentials (2FA, etc.), and DPAs
Operations & Process Improvement
Assist with building and maintaining dashboards
Manage KPIs on behalf of various departments
Support teams with documentation, cost tracking, and budget management
Create and maintain process documentation
Financial Operations
Manage day-to-day bookkeeping, invoicing, and expense processing in Xero
Perform bank reconciliations and maintain accurate financial records
Assist in preparation of monthly financial reports and analysis
Support budget tracking and financial forecasting
Coordinate with external accountants for year-end accounts and tax filings
What you’ll bring
Essential
Law degree (LLB, GDL, or equivalent) with strong academic results and proven analytical/quantitative strengths - ideally supported by high grades in Maths, Sciences, Economics, or other rigorous disciplines.
Self-taught technical skills such as coding or advanced Excel.
Numerically confident and comfortable with spreadsheets
Exceptional attention to detail
Self-taught technical abilities (coding, advanced Excel, technical certifications) gained through personal initiative.
Able to work autonomously and thrive in a remote environment.
Strong written communication.
Naturally curious and eager to learn.
Highly Desirable
Relevant experience in finance, operations, legal, consulting, or related fields (including internships or training contracts)
Familiarity with compliance, risk, or information security concepts
Experience with Xero or similar cloud accounting software
Experience with contract management or legal documentation
Not right for you if…
This role isn't right for you if you:
Prefer narrow, specialized work over wearing multiple hats
Need detailed instructions and structured processes to do your best work
See this as a stepping stone back into traditional legal practice
Why This Role Matters
This isn’t a traditional, single-lane role. You’ll be stepping into a pivotal position that helps free up the CEO and the Head of People & Ops to focus on high-impact work. As you demonstrate capability and curiosity, the role will evolve. If you show strength in financial operations, you'll take on more of that. If you excel at process optimization or compliance, we'll expand those responsibilities. This is a role that grows with your interests and strengths, not one with a fixed job description.
What We Offer
Competitive salary
Comprehensive training and mentorship across all areas of responsibility
Work from home budget and learning budget
Private health care following successful probation
Broad exposure across finance, operations, and legal functions
Opportunity to shape processes and systems
Remote-first culture with flexibility
Clear path to grow the role based on your strengths
