Wisconsin and Illinois | Travel Required | Part-Time
We’re a Wisconsin and Illinois law firm with offices across multiple locations — and we’re growing. We’re looking for a seasoned, self-directed professional to be our boots-on-the-ground resource across all sites. If you’re someone who has spent a career getting things done — fixing what’s broken, managing vendor relationships, negotiating leases, and keeping facilities running — and you’re ready to do meaningful work on a flexible schedule, this role was built for you.
You’ll travel regularly between our hubs (Fox Valley, Milwaukee, Illinois, Madison, and new upcoming locations), serving as the primary facilities resource across the firm. This is a high-trust, low-micromanagement role. You’ll work closely with our CFO and coordinate with our IT and operations teams.

- Preferred: We’re especially interested in experienced professionals who are winding down a full career and looking for a meaningful, flexible role — someone who wants to stay active and engaged without the demands of a full-time position.
