Demonstrated ability to lead people, manage performance, resolve operational issues, and build effective working relationships across all levels of the firm.
Experience developing, documenting, and improving administrative policies, procedures, staffing models, and service delivery standards.
Practical understanding of HR processes, employee relations, recruiting, onboarding, performance management, policy administration, and employment compliance considerations.
Experience managing facilities, office services, vendors, supplies, space needs, and administrative budgets.
Strong organizational, analytical, communication, and decision-making skills, with the ability to balance strategic priorities and hands-on daily operational needs.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office and familiarity with legal, HR, document management, timekeeping, or other administrative systems.
Ability to exercise discretion, sound judgment, professionalism, and confidentiality in a fast-paced law firm environment.

Education:

Bachelor’s degree in business administration, human resources, management, legal studies, or a related field preferred or equivalent professional experience.

Relevant HR, legal administration, facilities, project management, or leadership training or certification is a plus.
