Manage facilities and office services functions, including office maintenance, space planning, supplies, records support, reception, mail, hospitality, vendor coordination, and related service delivery.
Assist with budgeting, expense management, vendor relationships, contract administration, and resource planning for administrative functions.
Serve as a trusted liaison among administrative professionals, office services, HR, and firm leadership, promoting clear communication and a collaborative work environment.
Maintain awareness of legal industry operations, employment-related requirements, confidentiality obligations, workplace safety expectations, and firm policies.
Lead or support firmwide operational initiatives, staffing changes, and administrative projects as assigned by the COO or firm leadership.

Qualifications:

Minimum of 7-10 years of progressively responsible administrative, operations, human resources, legal support, or professional services management experience, preferably in a law firm.
Prior experience supervising administrative professionals, legal support staff, office services, facilities, or HR-related functions.
Strong working knowledge of law firm operations, attorney support models, confidentiality requirements, administrative workflows, and professional service expectations.
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.
