  • Prepare closing agenda checklists, closing books, and real estate transaction documentation
  • Coordinate signing appointments and assist lawyers during client meetings
  • Liaise with the finance team regarding trust transactions
  • Obtain strata documents and coordinate return and storage of original title documents
Administrative & File Management
  • Revise documents based on lawyer markups
  • Manage document formatting, assembly, scanning, and file organization
  • Assist with client intake and onboarding processes
  • Track outstanding deliverables and client signatures
  • Handle client requests and day-to-day administrative coordination
  • Manage email filing and organization
  • Coordinate scheduling, courier arrangements, and occasional client gifts
Team Coordination & Process Improvement

  • A proactive mindset with a desire to improve processes and workflows
  • Strong technical aptitude and interest in leveraging technology to work more efficiently
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Competitive salary within $62,000 – $78,000 range depending on experience
