OVERVIEW
Our established, San Diego-based criminal defense law firm is seeking a detail-oriented, highly organized, and self-directed person who can serve as the Firm’s “Chief of Staff,” handling many of the Firm’s internal operations.
Since 2010, our Firm has helped good people regain control of their future when charged with a crime, providing unsurpassed service to those who call upon us to help them during what is likely the most stressful times in their lives. We strive to always deliver excellence and create a positive and lasting impact on the San Diego community beyond criminal defense. We are a 2022 Better Business Bureau Torch Awards for Ethics Winner.
Anyone considering joining our team must embody the principle that “excellence is a habit and not an act,” and be able to thrive in a modern, fast-paced law firm environment. You must be able to multi-task and think on your feet while making smart decisions. These decisions must be driven by integrity and respect for everyone you encounter. Simply put, always be a professional.
Daily tasks shall include:
- Oversee and manage daily office operations, including supply management, tracking key sales and other metrics, and overall organization of the office
- Supervise administrative staff, including paralegals, administrative assistants, and non-attorney sales personnel
- Manage accounts payable and receivable, including billing and client payments
- Implement office policies, processes, and systems for efficiency and productivity
- Coordinate with external vendors and service providers as needed
- Embrace attention to detail, positivity, adaptability and accountability
- Strong multitasking and task management skills; a self-motivated team player with a strong work ethic
- Support the team in general administrative tasks as needed
Qualifications
A willingness to be immersed in the business is a must. Experience working at a law firm is preferred but not necessary to apply. More importantly, candidates must have a strong history of running offices. This is not an entry-level position. Nor is it a remote or hybrid position.
Compensation
A base salary will be commensurate with skill, experience, and will be at or above market. We offer a generous PTO/Sick time policy, up to $5,250 per year in tax-free student loan and tuition repayment, a 401(k) plan, and Firm sponsored medical insurance, disability insurance, and life insurance for full-time employees.
How to Apply
Serious and qualified applicants should email their resume and cover letter to Careers@DPShapiro.com. The cover letter must include examples of your prior office management experience, alignment with the Firm’s core values outlined above, and should address specifically why you applied for this position at this criminal defense law firm. BuciBoy2025LOODPS# should be in the subject line of the email and the cover letter should be entirely in italics. Rest assured your application will be confidential.
