The posting
Our client is a profitable, long-established legal services business that has reinvented itself as an AI-native legal tech company. Since the pivot, it has grown 5x in six months, reaches millions of people every month through its platform and online community, and is scaling from ~60 to 100+ people. Its ambition is to become Canada's largest consumer law business, expanding into new practice areas.
What You'll Do
- Own end-to-end delivery: Take full accountability for case throughput, turnaround times, backlog, capacity utilization and service levels across five practice areas.
- Lead the leaders: Coach Practice Leads and Managing Attorneys through structured management cadences, operating reviews and scorecards that drive accountability.
- Build the operating playbook: Define the KPIs, dashboards and rhythms the business runs on, using an internal command-centre dashboard and AI-native case management tools.
- Drive the economics: Own delivery cost, productivity and contribution margin, and partner with Finance on budgets and forecasts.
- Modernize with AI: Work alongside the CPO and CTO to design and execute a roadmap for automation and AI adoption across delivery.
- Plan for growth: Turn sales forecasts into capacity and hiring plans, giving the COO clear, data-driven visibility into what's coming.
- Stay close to the work: Shadow case managers and get hands-on with files when needed to understand where the process really breaks.
