Our dedication to non-litigated solutions highlights our focus on efficient and empathetic estate services, ensuring our clients receive the highest quality assistance without the stress of contested legal proceedings. With multiple offices, we pride ourselves on a culture of stability, growth, and client-focused excellence, driven by the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) concept and a philosophy of "Right Person, Right Seat" to maintain peak operational effectiveness.

The Director of Operations at Generation Trust Law Group plays a crucial role in enabling leadership to focus on expansion and strategic initiatives.

What You'll Do

• Leadership Partnership: Serve as a strategic operational partner to the President by preparing leadership meeting agendas, facilitating follow-through on key initiatives, and helping drive execution of firm priorities. You will own the company performance dashboard, serving as a conduit to leadership by curating and reporting key data on a consistent basis.

Partner with leadership to monitor receivables, participate in AR strategy meetings, and help ensure financial processes are timely, accurate, and aligned with firm objectives.
• Performance Management & Accountability: Champion a culture of accountability by leading weekly scorecard meetings, monitoring key performance indicators, identifying operational gaps, and driving follow-through on action items. Collaborate with leadership to develop meaningful role-specific KPIs and reporting that support individual and firm-wide success.
• Culture & Organizational Leadership: Serve as a steward of the firm's culture by modeling its core values and fostering an environment built on trust, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Support leaders in creating an engaged, high-performing team while helping navigate change, reinforcing expectations, and strengthening communication across the organization.
