Operations Manager

Job Description

Job Description

At Sechler Law Firm , we help families plan for life, protect what matters most, and navigate the challenges of aging with dignity. We are a growing estate and elder law firm. And we are looking for an Operations Manager (OM) to help lead the next stage of our growth.

The Operations Manager plays a key leadership role in ensuring that our systems, people, and client experience operate at a high level every single day. This position has a broad understanding of six key areas of the business — marketing, sales, production, people, finance, and physical plant — and helps keep all parts of the firm aligned and running efficiently.

The OM works closely with the Firm Administrator, Owner, and leadership team to execute strategy, improve processes, solve problems, and ensure accountability throughout the firm.

Reporting Relationship

The Operations Manager reports directly to the Firm Administrator.

Authority

The Operations Manager does not practice law, provide legal advice, or make legal strategy decisions on individual cases.

Instead, this position acts under the delegated authority of the Firm Administrator and Owner to manage all non-legal aspects of the business — including systems, team performance, and operational execution across departments.

In short, the OM ensures the business functions of the firm run efficiently so our attorneys can focus on what they do best: helping clients.

Why Join Us

Be part of a mission-driven team helping families protect their life’s work.

Work in a collaborative environment that values structure, accountability, and innovation.

Competitive compensation and benefits.

Opportunities for professional growth and leadership development.

How to Apply

If you’re a systems-minded leader who thrives on structure, accountability, and making things run smoothly, we’d love to hear from you.

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter explaining why you’re the right fit for this role.
