Chief Operating Officer (COO) – Los Angeles
Step into a fast-moving legal environment and bring structure to scale. We’re looking for a COO to run day-to-day operations across an in-office law firm and its remote team. This role is about creating order, building reporting systems, and driving accountability across a 200-person organization.
What You’ll Do
- Build and run reporting dashboards (Power BI or Domo) so the CEO can manage by numbers.
- Establish firm-wide operating rhythm: weekly KPI reviews, exception reporting, and owner follow-ups.
- Oversee the full client process: intake → medical treatment → negotiation → payment. Fix bottlenecks and standardize handoffs.
- Align workflows between the legal team in LA and the distributed remote team.
- Partner with finance and fractional CFO on trust accounting, operating accounts, and monthly close.
- Advise on HR structure, with attention to California compliance, for a mostly remote staff.
What Great Looks Like
- Operator first: brings calm to a complex, fast environment.
- Reporting athlete: builds dashboards and uses data to drive behavior.
- Cross-functional glue: moves between finance, client ops, medical treatment, billing, and payments with ease.
- Pattern recognizer: learns fast, adapts fast.
Must-Haves
- Senior operations leadership experience.
- Background in a large plaintiff law firm or similar professional services environment.
- Or, experience running large remote teams with strong reporting systems.
- Strong knowledge of KPI/reporting tools (Power BI or Domo).
- LA-based and in-office. Hybrid may be possible 1–2 days a week for the right fit, but this is an in-office role.
- Proven track record of building cadence, accountability, and reporting across multiple functions.
Nice-to-Haves
- Familiarity with California HR compliance.
- Experience scaling operations in a multi-office or remote-heavy organization.
Compensation
- Base in the low–mid $200Ks, with flexibility depending on experience and title.
