Paralegal Manager
Winston Staffing
Lead one of the firm's largest paralegal organizations — 32 paralegals and project assistants supporting ~500 attorneys across every Chicago practice group.
- High-visibility leadership role with direct partnership with firm leadership, practice group heads, and peer managers nationwide.
- Own the full talent lifecycle: staffing strategy, recruiting, onboarding, performance management, compensation, and career development.
- Run the firm's national Project Assistant program end-to-end, from annual recruiting (interviews Jan/Feb, offers March, start dates June/July) through onboarding and training.
- Drive engagement and retention through coaching, mentorship, and a strong, unified team culture across practice groups.
- Balance strategic leadership with hands-on operational oversight, including a direct report managing timekeeping and administrative functions.
- Partner closely with attorneys and firm administration to forecast staffing needs and resolve complex, competing priorities.
- Built for growth: this role has a clear path to expand into a broader Litigation Practice Support Senior Manager position.
- Join a top-tier global platform known for collaborative culture, strong financial performance, and real investment in business support functions.
- Ideal for a current paralegal leader at a large Am Law firm — or a manager/supervisor ready to step up — with 10+ years in professional services and 5+ years managing 15+ direct/indirect reports.
- Legal industry experience strongly preferred; candidates from legal tech consulting or legal ops with prior law firm exposure will also be considered.
- Strong executive presence required — proven ability to influence partners, manage stakeholders, and build trust across all levels of the firm.
