Job description
++North Jersey | Full-Time | On-Site++
Established and growing New Jersey plaintiff-side personal injury firm is seeking a Director of Law Firm Operations to work directly with firm leadership and take ownership of the firm’s day-to-day operations. This is not a typical administrator position, you will have direct access to partners and significant authority over people, systems, technology, workflow and firm operations. We are looking for a high-energy operator and problem solver, someone who identifies what needs to be done, develops a solution, implements it and follows through without requiring constant direction. The objective is simple: build and run an efficient operation that allows the attorneys to focus on clients, cases, litigation and growth.
++Responsibilities Include:++
Day-to-day firm operations
Staff management, hiring, training and accountability
Case-flow and workflow efficiency
Intake operations and client onboarding
KPIs, dashboards and management reporting
Technology, automation and AI implementation
SPOs and process improvement
Vendors, expenses and administrative functions
Cross-office coordination and special projects
Identifying problems before they reach the partners—and solving them
++Who We’re Looking For:++
You may currently be a COO, Director of Operations, Firm Administrator, Practice Administrator, Legal Operations Manager, Senior Office Manager or Managing Paralegal who is ready for broader responsibility. We care less about your current title than your ability to take ownership and get things done. The ideal candidate will be decisive, organized, resourceful and comfortable holding people accountable; they will see a problem and think, “I’ll handle it.” Further, they will be someone who can move from solving today’s operational issue to building the systems that prevent it from happening again.
Successful candidates will have:
7+ years of law firm operations or management experience
Strong people-management and leadership skills
Experience creating systems, processes and accountability
Comfort with technology, data and automation
Excellent judgment and a strong sense of ownership
Plaintiff personal injury experience strongly preferred
High-volume and/or multi-office law firm experience a plus
*All inquiries will be handled confidentially.
