Who we are

Smokeball helps law firms bill more without their clients paying more. Intriguing, right? We were founded by technology leaders with more than 20 years of experience in delivering impactful legal technology products. Our leadership continually strives to develop a company, culture, and team that share a profound love for the law and is compelled to help small law firms find success. Our mission isn’t simple, but it is straightforward: help small law firms be successful businesses so that they can better serve our communities.

What makes us special?

• Culture is sacred. As a 'Best Places to Work' winner four years in a row, we believe company culture is the single most important ingredient to our success. At the end of the day, it is all about our people.
• The best product in Legal Tech. We think deeply about the challenges small law firms face. We do not bother with simply delivering a “faster horse,” we drive innovations that truly enhance the lives and businesses of our clients. Check out our ratings on G2, Capterra, and Google.
• Industry Opportunity. The Legal Tech industry is estimated to be worth around $15bn and is growing every year. Smokeball is growing right along with it, and we like to take our people with us.

At Smokeball, we believe there is nothing more powerful than a community of people coming together to work on a product that they, and our clients, love. When it comes to working as a community, we see the value in both coming together and allowing our “Smokeballers” the flexibility that remote work offers.

All Chicago employees are in the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays. While our office is open 5 days a week, we allow you to choose what works best for you on Monday, Tuesday and Friday.

Our office is in the heart of the Loop within 10 minutes of the Metra and all “EL” trains. And, we have lots (and lots) of snacks.

The Role

As a Business Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in managing sales, marketing, and client success operations. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams, analyze business requirements, and drive projects to successful completion. Your expertise in systems such as Salesforce, Churnzero, and Northpass will be critical to achieving our organizational goals.

This role is based out of our office in Chicago, IL.

• Evaluate marketing performance metrics, identify trends, and recommend adjustments to improve ROI.
• Support the implementation of marketing automation tools.

Client Success Operations:

• Partner with the client success team to enhance customer satisfaction and retention.
• Analyze client feedback, identify pain points, and propose solutions for continuous improvement.
• Monitor client success KPIs and contribute to client engagement strategies.

Project Management:

• Lead cross-functional projects related to process optimization, system implementations, and product launches.
• Define project scope, objectives, deliverables, and timelines.
• Coordinate project resources, manage risks, and ensure successful project execution.

Systems Expertise:

• Proficiently navigate and configure systems such as Salesforce, Churnzero, and Northpass.
• Collaborate with IT teams to troubleshoot issues, implement enhancements, and maintain data integrity.
