🧭 Experience Level: 10–20 Years
🏢 Industry: Legal (Mid-Sized Law Firm)

About Us

We’re a collaborative, mid-sized law firm with a deep bench of talent and a leadership structure that includes a Managing Shareholder, Department Chairs, and a Board of Directors. We're looking for a Chief Operating Officer who can bring structure, oversight, and day-to-day operational leadership —someone who knows how to make a professional services firm run smoothly.

Think: organized, steady-handed, with a keen eye for both people and processes.

Who You Are

✅ A seasoned operational leader with 10–20 years of experience in a law firm, accounting firm, engineering firm, or other structured professional services environment
✅ You’ve worked closely with firm leadership — Managing Partners, Shareholders, Board members — and understand the dynamics
✅ Comfortable with strategic planning and administrative details
✅ A proactive communicator who can serve as a bridge between leadership and departments
✅ Preferably familiar with legal industry practices, but open to other industries with similar structure

What You’ll Be Doing

Board of Directors Support

• Develop agendas and prep materials for Shareholder/Board meetings
• Set annual firm calendars and coordinate bonus pool estimates
• Manage annual Board elections and post-meeting follow-up with Managing Shareholder

Managing Shareholder Support

• Serve as a key partner to the Managing Shareholder for strategic and operational initiatives
• Draft and review leadership communications
• Assist in lateral hire offer development and employment record maintenance
• Provide data on attorney performance and support firmwide reporting

Department Chair & Shareholder Support

• Act as liaison for resolving internal concerns and administrative hurdles
• Support case intake processes and client relations issues
• Compile and distribute key firm data and monthly/annual contribution summaries

Why This Role Matters

This is not your typical COO post. It’s an opportunity to shape how a respected law firm functions from the inside out — through steady leadership, smart systems, and trust-building across departments. If you enjoy being the person leadership turns to when they want it done right, this is your seat at the table.

Salary commensurate with candidate experience and other job-related factors permitted by law.
