Are you a dynamic and experienced leader ready to take a growing law firm to the next level? We're looking for someone special to join our team as a Law Firm Administrator. Note this is not an Office Manager or Administrative role. This is an executive-level role and only candidates with strategic executive-level experience will be considered. We're looking for a strong, experienced law firm operator who thrives in start-up energy, creating order out of chaos! Here's who we think would be perfect for this role:
Who You Are
Experienced: You've spent at least 7 years managing law firm operations and have overseen teams of 10 or more. You've successfully navigated the complexities of both small and mid-sized firms and have experience working in remote-first environments.
Educated and Certified: A high school diploma is required, and a bachelor's degree is preferred. Having a Certified Legal Manager (CLM) certification would be a significant advantage, showcasing your deep understanding of law firm administration.
Tech-Savvy: You're proficient with Microsoft Office Suite and are quick to learn and adapt to new technologies. You're also well-versed in legal office procedures, document management systems, and legal practice management software like Clio.
What You'll Do
Lead and Inspire: You'll supervise and lead a team of non-attorney staff, handling everything from recruitment and onboarding to performance management and termination. You'll provide mentorship and guidance to help the team achieve company and client goals, all while fostering a culture built on company values.
Strategic Partner: As a key member of the leadership team, you'll collaborate with the CEO, CFO, and Managing Attorney to develop and execute strategic plans. You'll drive initiatives related to revenue, budgeting, and staffing, ensuring that the firm's long-term objectives are met.
Operations Whiz:You'll oversee the day-to-day operations of the firm, managing workflow, case support, billing, and vendor relationships. You'll ensure that all aspects of the business run smoothly, from virtual facility management to trust/retainer management. Additionally, you'll manage the firm calendar, making sure that tasks and deliverables are completed on time.
Client and Vendor Management: You'll handle relationships with vendors and support operational needs, including technology and office administration. You'll also oversee the Potential New Client (PNC) process, ensuring a positive experience for new clients from start to finish.
What You Bring
Leadership Skills: You're a natural leader who can motivate and manage a high-performing team. You excel at building relationships, resolving conflicts, and driving the team toward achieving company goals.
Project Management: You're organized and detail-oriented, able to juggle multiple projects and priorities effectively. You have a proven track record of managing budgets of $5 million or more and driving key performance indicators (KPIs).
Communication:You have excellent verbal and written communication skills, and you're able to convey ideas clearly and effectively. You maintain professionalism and confidentiality in all interactions.
Adaptability:You thrive in a dynamic environment and are comfortable managing change. Whether it's refining billing procedures or developing new operating procedures, you're always looking for ways to improve and grow.
Behavioral Attributes
High Energy and Empathy:You bring positivity and a client-service mindset to the team, understanding the importance of compassion and professionalism in the workplace.
Problem Solver:You don't just point out problems—you develop practical, effective solutions that keep the firm moving forward.
Resilient and Flexible: You're able to handle the challenges of a growing business, staying focused on the big picture while managing day-to-day operations efficiently.
