The right person is a rapid learner who will be supporting one of two owners of a law firm in growth mode. While that owner ascribes to doing less well, rather than more poorly, he has a terrible time saying no and prioritizing his schedule and managing incoming communications is, to say the least, challenging. We’re looking for someone who is used to knowing what that type of person needs before he even knows it himself.

Do you need a legal background? No. But you must love to learn.

Job duties:

This is a general expectation outline with the recognition the position is dynamic and ultimately the role is to make the owner’s work easier and be in essence an extension of the owner himself:

• Make sure the owner is aware of and completes deadlines.
• Proactively prepare owner for meetings, ensuring owner has all materials ahead of time, and follows up on any action items.
• Organize and attend team meetings within the firm, creating agenda, taking meeting notes and provide follow up, where appropriate.
• Manage information flow, including email inboxes and calls.
• Volunteer when team members need assistance even if the task falls outside the technical parameters of the job.
• Ensure all memberships, subscriptions, donations, and licenses of owner stay up to date and maintained.
• Be highly adept at organization, efficiency, and multitasking.
• Research, prioritize, and follow up on incoming issues and concerns, including those of a sensitive or confidential nature.
• Use sound judgment and common sense to resolve most questions and problems independently, referring only the most complex issues to higher levels.
• Be the glue that keeps the team together, and the oil that keeps the machine working.
• Assist in the development of written processes that will be used by the team to increase efficiency during the first year of your tenure.
• Staunchly protect our firm culture and reputation.

What you’ve accomplished:

• 10+ years of executive support experience.
• Provided a bridge for smooth communication and built collaborative relationships between executives and staff, demonstrating leadership, trust, and credibility.
• Managed email inboxes for others, including assisting in follow-up of emails and calls; ability to exercise the utmost discretion on all matters.
