What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Operations & Firm Administrator position at Yanowitz Law Firm, PLLC?
Location: Rochester, Minnesota (In-Office, Full-Time) Compensation: $75,000–$85,000 performance bonuses
About the Role
If you’re the kind of person who naturally takes charge, fixes what’s broken, and keeps everything running smoothly — we should talk.
Our CEO moves fast and dreams big. You’ll be the one who takes those ideas and turns them into action — building systems, leading people, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
We’re looking for someone who’s done this before. Not just “figured it out on the fly,” but run real operations, managed people, and built structure in a service-based business. Law firm experience is a plus, but not a must — a background in professional services, healthcare, or hospitality operations is just as valuable.
This is an executive-level role — not an assistant job, not “operations lite.” You’ll have authority, accountability, and direct impact on how the business grows.
Who You Are
- 5–10 years in operations, administration, or management within a service-driven business (law firm preferred)
- A natural leader who sets clear expectations and follows through
- Comfortable making decisions, solving problems, and handling tough conversations
- Tech-savvy — you understand how tools like CRMs, project management platforms, and automation can streamline work
- You think in systems but lead with empathy
- You believe accountability and respect can exist in the same room
