About us

We are a modern Australian law firm with a leading reputation. We focus on exceptional service, operational excellence and being at the forefront of employee experience. We work closely with Australian and international businesses, organisations and governments.

About the role

Based in our Melbourne office, you will play a key role in our helpdesk team in supporting and enhancing our technology capabilities. Working across a broad range of business applications and systems, you will provide technical expertise, resolve complex issues, and partner with stakeholders to improve the way technology supports our business processes. You will partner closely with teammates and end-users, helping to drive adoption of new technologies, AI and automation solutions, improve system effectiveness, and build capability across the wider IT team.

Responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Managing and resolving complex incidents, problems and service requests across a range of business applications and collaboration platforms.
• Providing technical expertise and escalation support to the Service Desk team.
• Building and maintaining strong knowledge of the firm's applications, workflows and business processes to deliver effective solutions.
• Supporting the implementation, enhancement and ongoing optimisation of business systems and technology initiatives.
• Driving the adoption and effective use of Microsoft 365, AI-enabled tools and other business applications across the firm.
• Working with internal teams and vendors identifying opportunities to improve processes, automate routine activities and enhance the user experience.
• Assisting with application upgrades, testing, technology rollouts and change initiatives.
• Developing and maintaining a strong understanding of the end-to-end laptop and mobile device lifecycle, including configuration and deployment to ensure continuous improvement and a seamless end-user experience.
• Contributing to knowledge management, documentation and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Coaching and mentoring team members to strengthen technical capability and confidence across the IT function.

This is a full-time position which requires you to be physically onsite. Office hours are from 8am to 6pm working on a rotational roster. In addition, there is an afterhours support service that the successful candidate would be expected to be a part of, on a rostered arrangement (which can be done remotely and which you will receive extra compensation for).

About you

We are seeking an experienced IT professional who enjoys understanding how technology enables business outcomes and is passionate about delivering high-quality support within a professional services environment.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• Demonstrated experience supporting and troubleshooting business applications, collaboration platforms and end-user technologies.
• Strong knowledge of Microsoft 365, including Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and related applications.
• Experience working with Windows 11 and modern workplace technologies.
• An understanding of business processes and the ability to translate user requirements into practical technology solutions.
• Strong understanding of Microsoft Power Platform, including Power Automate, Power Apps and related low-code automation tools, with the ability to identify opportunities to streamline business processes, improve operational efficiency and support the delivery of innovative technology solutions.
• Exposure to AI-powered workplace tools and a genuine interest in helping users adopt and maximise emerging technologies.
• Experience working with ITSM platforms and service management frameworks such as ITIL.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage effectively with users at all levels of the organisation.

Beyond your technical capabilities, you will be proactive, customer-focused and committed to continuous improvement. You enjoy sharing knowledge, helping others succeed and taking ownership of outcomes. You are equally comfortable working independently and collaborating with colleagues to deliver practical, people-focused technology solutions that support the firm's success.
