Director of Technology - The Bruning Law Firm About The Job

If your passion and senior leadership experiences span IT strategy, data, innovation, transformation, and security, we want you to lead our next chapter of growth!

The Bruning Law Firm (BLF) is not a traditional personal injury practice. We are a "digital-first," "data-driven" organization on a mission to fight for our clients’ rights. We have built a sophisticated, high-velocity ecosystem centered on the Salesforce platform to innovate the legal industry and set a new standard for client service and case outcomes.

As an essential business advisor to the firm’s leadership, you will lead a small yet mighty team to define and deliver our technical strategy, automate critical workflows, and own the data that drives our success.

With technology at the heart of our business, you will enable success through the development and execution of a multi-year strategic roadmap that directly impacts our goal of providing the best representation to our clients.

From infrastructure to security to policy, you will oversee all technological strategy and architecture to ensure a sustainable backbone for the firm.

• Own the entire firm technology stack, primarily focusing on optimizing our Salesforce‑centric environment.
• Ensure all systems and workflows adhere to the highest standards of data security and regulatory compliance (HIPAA, ABA Rules, etc.).

You will lead and execute a robust multi-year roadmap to guide the firm’s investments in automation and competitive digital solutions.
