Summary

Position: Legal Consultant (Casual)

Schedule: We are looking for people with 4 days of availability, and you’ll usually be rostered on for 3-4 days a week. Ideally you’d be available on at least Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Location: You decide! We are a distributed company and encourage you to WFH, but we do have an office in Sydney and co-working options available if you prefer.

Responsibilities

• Responding to customer enquiries via emails and over the phone
• Use your legal knowledge in order to scope and understand the type of legal service each customer requires
• Be the first point of contact for new enquires and explain how sprintlaw works and why it is different and ‘better’ than traditional legal services
• Write up accurate and detailed legal briefs for our legal team
• Develop on-going relationships with customers
• Manage relationships by effectively using sales strategies and scheduling follow ups.

Other responsibilities may include:

• Developing sales and marketing strategies
• Attending business development events and activities

Required Skills

• This role is customer facing and involves a lot of communication with new clients and the legal team. Excellent customer service skills are essential
• An appetite for sales and a genuine interest in assisting new and existing customers
• The ability to ‘think on your feet’ but also understand when to seek help from co-workers – you’ll have plenty of guidance from our lawyers who are subject matter experts.
• The ability to explain technical legal solutions in a simple yet effective way
• We’re a collaborative team that brings a supportive and positive vibe to work – but we also work flexibly and aren’t always around checking your work. This means that you’ll need to be able to be organised, work autonomously and show strong initiative.
• Proficiency with tech and sales processes
• Interest in startups, entrepreneurship, and disrupting the legal industry is a benefit.
