Chief of Staff

Our Story

TopDog Law is not your typical law firm. We're a nationally scaling personal injury firm built for impact and growth - owning the client experience end-to-end, from marketing and intake through litigation. We believe that world-class marketing, paired with exceptional legal talent and operations, creates better experiences and outcomes for clients and the business alike.

Over the past three years, we've grown 2-3x year over year, setting a new standard on the marketing side of the personal injury space and proving what's possible when strategy, speed, and execution align. Now we're applying that same discipline and innovation to firm operations, case management, and national scale - intentionally building the infrastructure, systems, and teams to grow without sacrificing quality, culture, or accountability.

We are a fully remote team that share trust, open communication, and a commitment to doing great work. If you love ownership, thrive in a fast-moving environment, and want to help build something exceptional, you'll feel right at home here.

The Opportunity

This is not a support role. The Chief of Staff (reporting to the President) is the operating partner to the President of one of the fastest-growing personal injury firms in the country. You will sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, turning vision into action across every function of the business. TopDog Law is scaling rapidly and the complexity of running the organization grows every quarter. New states, new hires, new systems, new partners. The President needs someone who can hold the operational picture together, drive cross-functional alignment, and ensure the most important priorities get done, not just discussed. This role requires someone who leads without ego, communicates with precision, and thrives in an environment where the game plan changes fast. You will not be managing logistics. You will be managing outcomes.
