How To MANAGE a Small Law Firm

Compensation

Full Description

Are you a thoughtful, data-driven operator who gets genuine satisfaction from helping small business owners achieve greatness? Do you love transforming chaos into clarity — guiding entrepreneurs to make confident, fact-based decisions and take bold, effective action? If so, this could be the most rewarding role of your career. At How To Manage A Small Law Firm, we act as the outsourced CEO, COO, CFO, and CMO for 500+ growing small law firms nationwide. You don’t need prior law firm experience — we’ll teach you that. What matters is your ability to lead, analyze, communicate, and help small business owners turn potential into performance. As a Fractional COO, you’ll oversee operations for up to 30 client law firms — interpreting data, spotting inefficiencies, coaching owners, and helping them take the actions that produce results. You’ll work remotely as part of a collaborative “pod” with a CEO, CFO, and CMO, helping clients build thriving, well-run businesses. If This Sounds Like You… THIS COULD BE THE JOB FOR YOU! • Strategic + Tactical Thinker: Build and adapt 18-month growth and operations plans that are practical, measurable, and drive results. • Natural Coach & Accountability Partner: More than a manager — you guide small business owners past mindset blocks, procrastination, and resistance. • Deep Small Business / Legal Ops Experience: At least 5 years leading or advising service-based businesses (law firms, agencies, consultancies, healthcare, etc.). • Creative, Personable, Entrepreneurial: Energized by high-drive entrepreneurs, and know how to “speak lawyer” while keeping it real. • Tech-Savvy & Detail-Oriented: Leave bulletproof notes and documentation — running a relay race, not a solo marathon. We’re Looking For: • Seasoned operations leader with hands-on experience in service-based businesses • Someone who finds joy in helping entrepreneurs succeed and takes pride in building systems that work • Confident communicator who can analyze data, explain insights, and hold clients accountable • Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, no-excuses, high-growth environment We’re Not Looking For: • Job hoppers or short-term seekers • Corporate-only professionals who have never worked in or supported small, service-based businesses • Individual that has not primarily assisted small service-based businesses achieve success • Theorists who prefer delegating rather than doing • Anyone afraid to challenge clients or dive into operational detail • Anyone looking for part-time or “light consulting” work — this is a full-time, hands-on role Compensation & Benefits: $110K base + performance pay (target $180K total) + medical, dental, vision, 401K match, unlimited PTO, and more. Who We Are: We’re an Inc. 5000 company (every year since 2013), founded around a dining room table and built by passionate people who take full responsibility for results. We value humor, humility, and heart — and we believe in helping small business owners and our team members grow together. If you’re driven by purpose, energized by solving problems, and love seeing service-based small businesses achieve greatness — you’ll thrive here. If you’re looking for predictability or politics, you won’t. Full-time, remote role — available only to residents of AZ, CO, FL, GA, IL, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, PA, TX, VA, or WA.
