About the role

###About ATAC LAW

ATAC LAW is a fast-growing litigation firm based in Burnaby, known for delivering exceptional results and client service across a wide range of practice areas.

We are building a firm that operates at a high level—where lawyers can focus on legal work, and operations run efficiently, predictably, and professionally.

To support that growth, we are hiring ahigh-performance Office Manager / Operations Leadto take ownership of the business side of the firm.

###The Opportunity

This isnota traditional office manager role.

You will act as theoperational backbone of the firm, responsible for ensuring our people, systems, and processes operate at a high level.

You will work directly with firm leadership and have real authority to:

  • Improve systems
  • Drive accountability
  • Elevate team performance
  • Enhance client experience

This role is ideal for someone who:

  • Takes ownership and solves problems without waiting to be told
  • Has strong judgment and isn’t afraid to hold people accountable
  • Enjoys building structure in a fast-paced environment
  • Wants to have a measurable impact on a growing business

###What Success Looks Like (6–12 Months)

  • Lawyers consistently meeting or exceeding billing and performance targets
  • Intake conversion rates improved and tracked with clear accountability
  • Administrative team running smoothly with minimal oversight
  • Billing, collections, and file management systems operating efficiently
  • Key workflows documented, standardized, and continuously improved
  • Client experience is consistent, responsive, and professional across all touchpoints

###Core Responsibilities

###Operations & Systems

  • Own and optimize day-to-day firm operations across all administrative functions
  • Build, implement, and refine systems that improve efficiency, reduce errors, and scale with growth
  • Identify bottlenecks and proactively implement solutions

###People Leadership & HR

  • Lead, manage, and develop administrative staff (legal assistants, intake, support staff)
  • Recruit, onboard, and train high-performing team members
  • Set clear expectations and manage performance with accountability
  • Address personnel issues directly and professionally

###Financial & Performance Management

  • Oversee billing workflows, WIP, and collections in collaboration with accounting
  • Track and report on key performance metrics (billing, conversion, efficiency)
  • Drive systems that support lawyers in meeting revenue targets

###Client Experience & Intake

  • Own the intake function and ensure high conversion and client satisfaction
  • Improve onboarding processes and ensure consistency in client communication
  • Address escalated client issues and strengthen service standards

###Technology & Infrastructure

  • Oversee legal and operational systems (Clio or equivalent, document management, etc.)
  • Identify and implement tools that improve productivity and reduce manual work
  • Liaise with IT and external vendors as needed

###Compliance & Risk

  • Ensure compliance with Law Society requirements, privacy standards, and internal policies
  • Maintain organized, audit-ready systems for files and records

###Why This Role Stands Out

  • Direct impact on how the firm operates and grows
  • Work closely with decision-makers
  • Real authority to improve systems and processes
  • Opportunity to build something—not just maintain it

###How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter.

In your cover letter, include:

  • One example of a system or process you implemented that improved efficiency or performance
  • A short description of how you approach managing underperforming team members

###Final Thought

We are looking for someone who wants toown this function, not just support it.

If you take pride in building structure, improving performance, and making a real impact—we want to hear from you.

###Experience

  • 3–7+ years in a law firm operations, office manager, or senior legal assistant role

  • Experience managing people and driving performance

###Core Traits

  • High ownership and accountability
  • Strong leadership presence and sound judgment
  • Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail
  • Proactive problem-solver who improves systems, not just maintains them
  • Confident communicator who can work with lawyers and staff at all levels
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment

###Nice to Have

  • Experience in litigation-focused firms
  • Familiarity with BC systems (Court Services Online, LTSA, BC Online)
  • Experience with Clio or similar practice management systems

Benefits

###Compensation & Benefits

  • $85,000 – $115,000 base salary (based on experience)
  • Performance-based bonus tied to firm and operational metrics
  • Extended health, dental, and vision benefits
  • Paid vacation
  • Opportunity for long-term growth within the firm
