We are growing and seeking an Operations Manager to oversee multiple administrative functions and the firm's financial performance. This role is ideal for someone who is organized, proactive, and motivated by influencing efficiency, profitability, and client service.

 About the Role

The Operations Manager is the organizational backbone of our practice and a key driver of client experience. This role blends operational leadership with hands-on intake responsibilities to ensure the firm runs smoothly, efficiently, and with exceptional professionalism.

  • Coordinate with accountants regarding tax filings, payroll, and compliance matters
  • Maintain operational KPIs (intake volume, response times, billing hygiene, aging reports) and surface issues proactively

 Client & Lead Management

  • Serve as the first point of contact for prospective clients; screen leads, schedule consultations, and guide them through intake
  • Maintain accurate intake records and client communication logs
  • Prepare engagement letters, initiate trust requests, and complete onboarding tasks
  • Support attorneys with file setup, organization, and administrative follow-through

Outreach & Marketing Support

  • Coordinate firm events, speaking engagements, and community outreach
  • Assist with presentation materials, sponsorships, and donation requests
  • Collaborate with the Marketing Manager and Webmaster to share updates and content

 General Administration

  • Manage vendors, including IT, benefit providers, and office service partners
  • Oversee office equipment, maintenance, and repairs
  • Ensure daily operations run smoothly and support productivity and client service

Requirements

Qualifications

  • Associate or bachelor’s degree preferred
  • Prior experience in legal or professional office management required
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, QuickBooks, and Clio
  • Experience with bookkeeping, billing, payroll, HR, or timekeeping systems
  • Strong organizational abilities with a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities

What You’ll Bring

  • 2+ years of law office management
  • Confidence in delegating tasks, setting expectations, and coaching others
  • Calm, organized presence with strong prioritization skills
  • Professionalism and integrity with the ability to handle sensitive matters with discretion
  • Solid understanding of bookkeeping, workflow systems, and administrative processes
  • Commitment to supporting our mission with compassion and excellence

Benefits

  • Salary: $60,000 – $75,000 per year, based on experience
  • Sign-on Bonus $3,000 – paid in 3 increments ($1,000 – 30 days apart)
  • Bonus opportunities
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
