We Are A Dynamic Atlanta Based Personal Injury Law Firm Looking For An Experienced Chief Operating Officer (Legal Administrator)

This is an executive-level position responsible for a wide range of activities in all phases of administration, personnel, finance, facilities, and business systems. You will play a major role in shaping firm culture.

You must have experience managing a team of more than 12 people and a multi-million dollar budget. This is not an “Office Manager” or “Administrative Assistant" position.

The Chief Operating Officer - Legal Administrator position is a key hire; it is crucial that we get this right! Our process might take a little longer than you’re used to…but it’s worth it. If you take the time to read this ad and follow the instructions to apply, we will be excited for the chance to learn more about you.

This position is located in Atlanta, Georgia, and is responsible for overseeing and improving both our people and our systems.

You will be required to demonstrate evidence of prior success with :

  • Business process refinement and systems management to ensure profitable operation of the Firm
  • Systems management to ensure matters are handled appropriately so that client needs are met, legal and ethical requirements are met, and clients receive excellent service
  • Employee leadership, performance management, supervision (and termination)
  • Understand and use common financial reports to make decisions (budget variance, PL, cashflow forecast)
  • Management of bookkeeper, accountant, technology systems, and other vendors

The right person for this role must meet the following :

  • Provide solutions, not just uncover problems
  • Have a high energy level
  • Have keen conflict resolution skills (not conflict avoidance skills)
  • Be metrics-driven and KPI-obsessed
  • Responsibilities : We need a Firm Administrator who is an expert in project management and systems development, and who will be invested in making important contributions to the operating and financial success of our law firm.

    The ideal candidate is not just comfortable with growth and change but thrives in an environment where people are constantly looking to improve the business and themselves. Our business grew fast, and while we are not a “start-up,” we have a growth-focused environment.

    Qualifications : Knowledge of personal injury law is helpful but not required. The ideal candidate must have verifiable experience working in a leadership capacity in a medium—to large company. They must also be able to make financial projects, guide employees, and commit to the company's overall success.

    To Apply, We Need You To Follow The Required Two-Step Process.

    This will be a multi-step interview process so we can get to know each other and make sure we are a good fit; this is the first step. Apply through Wizehire and send an email to resumes@thecouncilfirm.com with a PDF of your resume and a cover letter. The letter should tell us (a) why you would be great for this job, (b) what makes you nervous about this job, and (c) what your favorite movie is and why. The subject line of the email should say : “Administrator Rockstar".
