Job description

Collections Manager

📍 New York or Boston | Hybrid (3 days in office)

A top-tier international law firm is hiring a Collections Manager to lead and build out its collections function. This is a newly created role following the retirement of a senior leader and the strategic separation of billing and collections into two distinct teams.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Report directly to the CFO, with a dotted line to the Director of Finance
• Manage a Collections Team Lead and AR Specialist, with plans to grow the team
• Full ownership of collections strategy, process development, and team leadership
• Opportunity to shape the collections function at a highly respected firm
• Firm uses Aderant, but open to experience with other platforms

About the Firm:

• Am Law 200 firm
• Recognized by Chambers, Legal 500, Benchmark Litigation, and Law360

What They’re Looking For:

• 7+ years of experience in credit and collections, ideally within a law firm
• 2+ years in a supervisory role (mentoring and training junior team members)
• Strong understanding of legal billing, collections processes, and financial reporting
• Experience with Aderant, Elite, or similar legal billing platforms
• Personable, collaborative, and hands‑on—someone who enjoys both strategy and execution

Compensation & Logistics:

• Salary Range: $120,000 – $150,000 (depending on experience)
• Hybrid Schedule: 3 days/week in the New York or Boston office
