• Establish structured onboarding, cross‑training, and succession planning systems.
• Lead medical provider negotiations, lien reductions, and ensure client medical management is cost‑effective and streamlined.
• Manage investigation resources, vendor contracts, and vendor KPI evaluation.
• Build dashboards in Looker Studio, track progress against KPIs, and support CEO in decision‑making.
• Present weekly scorecards across departments and identify areas of underperformance.

What Success Looks Like

• 90%+ of department KPIs hit consistently.
• Increased case velocity without reducing settlement value.
• Medical spend per case reduced through better negotiation.
• Investigations completed in less than 3 days per case.
• High team engagement, low turnover, clear org chart with successors in place.
• CEO involvement in ops reduced by 75%.

• 7+ years as COO or Director of Operations in a personal injury law firm.
• Deep knowledge of intakes, CM, litigation, medical records, investigations.
• Experience with KPIs, process mapping, automation tools.
• Prior ownership of law firm P'L, budgeting, and staffing plans.
• Skilled in medical negotiations, lien reductions, and cost control.
• High emotional intelligence with zero micromanagement needed.
• Strong technical understanding of law firm tech stacks (Filevine, Lead Docket, G Suite, RingCentral, etc.).

Preferred Tools & Platforms

• Filevine, Lead Docket, RingCentral, CallRail.
• Google Workspace, Asana, Zapier, Looker Studio.
