About Us

Mills Oakley is a leading national law firm with a proud history spanning over 160 years. In that time, we've grown into a Top 10 Australian law firm by size while remaining true to our shared vision of exceptional client service with a friendly and collaborative ethos. Mutual trust and respect are at the heart of everything we do.

The Role

Due to continued growth and expansion, we are seeking a highly motivated Operations Manager to join our Melbourne office on a full-time basis.

Your key responsibilities will include but not be limited to the following:

  • Act as the Office Manager for the Melbourne office, providing hands-on leadership and ensuring local operations run smoothly in alignment with national standards;
  • Provide strategic oversight and day-to-day management of Office Managers and Coordinators across all firm locations, ensuring alignment with operational goals and service standards;
  • Work in close collaboration with the Systems & Operations Manager to oversee national office space planning initiatives, including fit-outs, relocations, space reallocations, and workspace optimisation, ensuring alignment with broader operational strategies;

You will ideally have at least 3 years' experience as an office manager, preferably within a legal or professional services environment. Multi-site experience will be highly regarded, though not essential.

You will demonstrate exceptional leadership and communication skills, along with strong organisational and project management capabilities. A proven ability to assess issues, think critically, and develop practical solutions is essential. Proficiency in office systems, facilities coordination, and budgeting is expected, and experience in change management or process improvement will be viewed favourably.

What We Offer

We take a collaborative approach to your learning & development, giving you the personal attention and unique opportunities required to help you realise your full potential. We are committed to your health and well-being and offer a multitude of employee benefits including:

  • Dress for your day;
  • Discounted health insurance;
