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.

Your Playground:

• Our physical plant is where you implement strategies and ways to streamline and increase efficiency across the board
