We are a fast-growing law firm in Northern New Jersey. We are on a mission to prevent parental and legal injustices against Fathers and Men.

We are looking for a high-level VP of Operations of the firm to get us to reach our target goals.

What makes this opportunity special?

If you are ready for a role that's as dynamic as a courtroom drama and as pivotal as a landmark case. The position is executive level (aka the Legal World’s COO). You will be the maestro of all parts of our company’s operations!

You'll partner with our fearless Owner and build the crème de la crème of the executive team to plot our strategy roadmap, sprinkle some leadership magic, and basically make sure we're the law firm equivalent of a Fortune 500 organization.

Daily/Weekly:

• Coffee with the Owner to brainstorm to implement the Business Plan

• Strong decision-making abilities
• The ability to hire and inspire (or say See ya! if needed)
• Being the stable, reliable, and trustworthy leader and second appendix to the owner

Your Playground:

• Our physical plant is where you implement strategies and ways to streamline and increase efficiency across the board
• The wizard behind the curtain, working with the owner to increase and supervise marketing and sales initiatives so the world knows we are here

What’s Happening on Your Watch?

• Daily huddles, weekly brainstorms, and the occasional turn-this-ship-around chats
• Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-annually, and Annual pow-wows and goal-setting sessions with our staff
• Bi-weekly deep dives into the financials (bring your snorkel)
• Weekly and monthly check-ups on all seven parts of key business vitals
• Various Celebrations (i.e. big deal deliverables) with cheers and confetti for crushing goals
• Strategic Financial Planning that you crave and are relentless to ensure it's stuck to

You’re Perfect If You:

• Have been in a COO role before with a side of legal flair (aka bachelor’s or MBA degree in business, accounting, or related field).

• Want to work somewhere where Law & Order meets The Office

Only Apply If:

• Your middle name is "Get-Things-Done"
• You have a compass for ethical excellence
• You’ve got more leadership and effective communication skills than a scout leader
• You value some traditions like sending a cover letter alongside your resume but also embrace out-of-the-box thinking by not being afraid to also send your favorite legal drama quote in that cover letter
