What are the responsibilities and job description for the Law Firm Administrator - PLA position at Law Office of Chris Schmiedeke, PC?
We are looking for a Legal Administrator to work directly with the Law Firm Owner to oversee everything in the law firm, except the practice of law. This includes not only strategic planning, project management, and critical administrative, but also a key leadership role in shaping and sustaining firm culture.
We need a Legal Administrator who is a pro at workflow and project management, who deeply understands employee engagement, who is metrics-driven and KPI-obsessed, and who will be invested in making important contributions to the success of the Firm.
We’re an established law firm with an office in Dallas County. We need a full-blown bona fide professional Legal Administrator who has experience running an office and building a successful business. This is a position akin to a Director of Operations, Legal COO, or Controller.
We are NOT looking for an Office Manager or an Administrative Assistant. Do NOT apply if your only prior experience is as an Executive Assistant, Administrative Assistant, or Office Manager.
The position encompasses a wide range of activities with involvement in all phases of administration, personnel, finances, facilities, and business systems. We need someone with the experience and maturity to work closely with the Owner and key staff on strategy, policy, problem-solving, and decision-making. This position will be responsible for planning, organizing, directing, and controlling the day-to-day operations of the Firm, and for directing the implementation of Firm policies.
We are building a firm where systems run the business, and people run the systems. This position is responsible for improving both our people and our systems.
