Job description

Our Story

TopDog Law is not your typical law firm. We're a nationally scaling personal injury firm built for impact and growth - owning the client experience end-to-end, from marketing and intake through litigation. We believe that world-class marketing, paired with exceptional legal talent and operations, creates better experiences and outcomes for clients and the business alike. Over the past three years, we've grown 2-3x year over year, setting a new standard on the marketing side of the personal injury space and proving what's possible when strategy, speed, and execution align. Now we're applying that same discipline and innovation to firm operations, case management, and national scale - intentionally building the infrastructure, systems, and teams to grow without sacrificing quality, culture, or accountability. We are a fully remote team that share trust, open communication, and a commitment to doing great work. If you love ownership, thrive in a fast-moving environment, and want to help build something exceptional, you'll feel right at home here.

The Opportunity

People come to TopDog Law at one of the hardest moments of their lives: injured, overwhelmed, and unsure of what comes next. They need someone in their corner who knows their name, understands their situation, and is actively fighting to get them the best possible outcome. The Case Manager exists to be that person, a dedicated advocate who owns the client relationship completely and ensures no one ever feels like just a file number. When this role is done right, clients feel heard, supported, and confident that someone is genuinely working for them.

What You Will Own

• Own the client relationship from day one through settlement, the Welcome Call is yours, the relationship is yours, and the outcome is yours
• Be the client's dedicated advocate, connecting them to the right care fast and walking them through one of the most stressful experiences of their life with confidence and compassion
• Drive cases forward with urgency, moving through each phase with precision and purpose
• Build demand packages that tell a compelling story and negotiate toward outcomes that make a real difference for real people
• Be the source of truth on every case you touch, leveraging cutting-edge technology to stay sharp, move fast, and never let anything slip

This is not a hand-off role, it's full ownership, and for the right person, it's one of the most impactful seats in the firm.

What You Bring

Required:

• 2-6 years of experience supporting Personal Injury pre-litigation matters on cases in Illinois
• Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail

• Ability to prioritize tasks, meet deadlines, and work independently while collaborating with a team

Preferred (Nice to Have):

• Bachelor's degree or Paralegal Certificate

• Familiarity with Personal Injury claims processes and insurance procedures

• Comfort working in evolving systems and processes

Who Thrives Here (Core Values)

• We don't hire on resumes alone. We hire for competence, character, and mindset.
• Embrace Change: Open to feedback, embracing change, and always asking "what's next?"
• Committed: You care deeply, have your teammates' backs, and show up to build something lasting.
