What we’re looking for:

• Leadership Experience: Approximately 3 to 5 years of experience in intake or another high-volume client service environment, with demonstrated people management, coaching, or team leadership experience.
• Industry Background: Legal experience is not required. Candidates from other high-volume intake, client service, medical, or similar environments are encouraged to apply.
• Strategic Skills: Demonstrated ability to develop and implement KPIs, improve process efficiency, and coach team members.
• Tech-Savvy: Comfortable using CRM and phone systems such as Filevine and RingCentral, reviewing intake calls, interpreting data, and partnering with internal engineering resources to improve automation and reporting.
• Empathy and Communication: High emotional intelligence with strong communication skills to manage client interactions and team dynamics.
• Problem-Solving Ability: Strong critical thinking skills to identify and address process inefficiencies independently.
• Global Team Leadership: Comfortable leading and developing an international team; prior experience managing offshore or global employees is a plus.
