[Hiring] Chief Operating Officer (COO) – Law Firms Operations Architect @How to Manage a Small Law Firm

Role Description

We are not hiring a traditional, corporate COO to simply oversee existing red tape or manage middle management. We are seeking an elite operational architect to build empires.

As a Growth Partner & Fractional COO, you won't be siloed inside a single corporate department. You will step into the driver’s seat alongside multiple law firm owners simultaneously. You will serve as their operational backbone, their strategic second-in-command, and the executive leader who holds them ruthlessly accountable to their own massive growth potential.

What You Will Do (Responsibilities)

• System Architecture: Design, build, and deploy scalable operational frameworks that turn chaotic small businesses into highly predictable, 7-figure enterprises.
• Bottleneck Destruction: Conduct deep-dive operational diagnostics to immediately identify where profit is leaking, where workflow is stalling, and why the owner is bottlenecked.
• Ruthless Accountability: Implement clear KPI dashboards. Teach owners and their teams to manage by hard data, not by feelings, excuses, or "intentions."
• Fractional Leadership: Scale businesses ranging from $1M to $35M+ by acting as the execution-first leader who translates high-level vision into daily operational reality.

Qualifications

• Direct Founder/Owner Fluency: Extensive, hands-on experience working directly with small-to-mid-sized business owners.
• 12+ years of elite operational leadership experience as a COO, VP of Operations, or Head of Operations.
• Proven success scaling small to mid-sized businesses ($1M–$35M+).
• A "Builder" mentality: Energy from turning chaotic, fast-moving environments into smooth, predictable operations.
• Strong founder psychology: Ability to collaborate with, advise, and firmly push back on passionate visionaries to execute a plan.
• Execution-first approach: Focus on driving measurable, bottom-line financial and operational results.

Requirements

• This Role Is NOT a Fit If:
• You have only managed operations for large corporations, enterprise divisions, or boards of directors.
• You prefer large corporate environments with pre-built, established infrastructure.
• You focus primarily on strategy and want to hand off the actual execution to someone else.
• You lack direct experience advising, coaching, or partnering closely with business owners.

Benefits

• Unmatched Professional Variety: Transform dozens of entrepreneurial businesses simultaneously instead of optimizing just one.
• High-Agency Culture: We value results over red tape. No micromanagement or useless meetings—just absolute autonomy to deliver world-class operational breakthroughs.
• Leveraged Compensation: A competitive $110,000 base salary with a performance incentive structure bringing total earning potential to $182,000+, scaling directly with the growth you create.
