Senior Account Executive – Sydney/Melbourne
The Opportunity
In line with the firm’s transformation strategy and ambitious growth plans, we now have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Account Executive to join our Flexible Services team in either our Sydney or Melbourne office.
Vario is unique in the legal sector. Vario is now the fifth practice group within Pinsent Masons ("PM"). Vario Flexible Services is a hub of self-employed / freelance lawyers carefully selected not just for their technical expertise but also for their ability to 'fit right in' and add value from day one. Our flexible lawyers work on assignment for clients of Pinsent Masons, non-clients of Pinsent Masons and the firm itself. In doing so, they enhance the flexibility and focus of the organisations they join.
Vario was founded in February 2013, and since then has gone from strength-to-strength, with supply of high quality lawyers and legal professionals with demand from clients increasing year on year.
We've now reached a stage in our development as we transition from 'start-up' to a maturing Alternative Legal Services Provider (ALSP) business. We are looking to recruit a Senior Account Executive to support this growth within Vario Flexible Services. Successful applicants will be rewarded with a challenging, varied role at the cutting-edge of change in the legal sector, and a chance to be involved in the growth and development of a thriving business.
The Senior Account Executive will complement the work of our Account Managers and Account Directors, who are at the front-line of delivering Vario Flexible Services, from cradle-to-grave, interacting with clients and candidates to meet the demand and supply of flexible lawyer resource.
The Senior Account Executive's role is primarily focused on the fulfilment side of the delivery process and the position would be well suited to those with experience of a full 360-degree recruitment role. This includes candidate and client-facing capabilities, a degree of face-to-face and telephone interaction, as well as a strong sense of personal ownership of each client assignment and each new client engagement.
Candidate Profile
At Pinsent Masons we do things a bit differently and look for high-performers who are not afraid to try new things and question the status quo. We put our team above all else, because we consider our investment in you to be not just our best business activity but also our most rewarding one.
Ideally, we are looking for the following knowledge and experience:
Previous experience of working in a legal services environment

Understanding of and interest in the changes in the legal sector

We do things a bit differently. Legal services are at the core of our business, however we have diversified into other areas providing complimentary services to clients through offerings like Vario Flexible Services.
