  • We are a high-performance personal injury law firm seeking a Litigation Paralegal Manager who is more than a supervisor—you are a builder of people, performance, and process.
  • This role is responsible for leading a team of litigation professionals to deliver consistent, high-quality case execution, while driving measurable outcomes tied to case progression, client experience, and firm performance.
  • If you are a leader who can translate expectations into execution, coach toward results, and hold a team accountable without losing engagement, we want to meet you.

  • Partner with attorneys to align litigation strategy with execution at the paralegal level
  • Team Leadership, Engagement & Oversight
  • Direct day-to-day operations of the litigation support team
  • Create a culture of ownership, urgency, and follow-through
  • Provide real-time coaching, feedback, and performance direction
  • Develop team members through training, skill-building, and clear performance expectations
  • Address performance concerns directly and professionally, including corrective action when necessary
  • ACTED Standard Reinforcement
  • We do not treat values as words—we treat them as behaviors tied to performance.
  • You will be responsible for reinforcing and modeling our ACTED Standard:
  • Accountability – Own outcomes, not excuses
  • Client First – Every decision improves the client experience
  • Teamwork – We win together, not individually
  • Excellence – High standards, consistently executed
  • Diligence – Relentless follow-through and attention to detail

You will ensure these behaviors are

  • Embedded into daily operations
  • Reflected in performance conversations
  • Used as a standard for recognition, development, and accountability

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven leadership experience managing litigation paralegals or legal support teams
  • Strong understanding of personal injury litigation processes and timelines
  • Demonstrated ability to manage performance through metrics and accountability
  • Experience coaching employees to improve productivity, quality, and consistency
  • Ability to make decisions, solve problems, and take ownership in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to influence at all levels
  • Comfortable addressing underperformance and making tough people decisions when needed

What Sets You Apart

  • You don’t wait for problems—you anticipate and solve them
  • You hold people accountable while still earning their respect
  • You understand that leadership is not about control—it’s about driving results through people
  • You can balance urgency, quality, and client experience without sacrificing standards

Work Environment

  • Onsite role supporting a high-performing litigation team
  • Fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
  • Team-oriented structure with clear expectations and accountability

Important Considerations

  • This role requires consistent, reliable onsite attendance
  • Performance is measured through results, not effort alone
  • Leadership includes coaching, accountability, and performance management

  • Operates with clear expectations and measurable standards
  • Invests in people development and leadership growth
  • Holds a strong commitment to client experience and case outcomes
  • Believes performance and culture go hand in hand
