The Opportunity This is a rare chance to build and run the business side of an established, respected regional firm with a clear mandate: double the firm in size over the next four to five years.

- A track record of scaling a professional services or multi-location service business, ideally through a doubling growth phase.

- Strong financial acumen and experience leading operations, sales or intake, finance, and marketing functions.

- Law firm, medical, dental, accounting, or other regulated professional practice experience is a plus, but not required.
