Director of Talent Acquisition

Top Dog Law is not your typical law firm. We're a nationally scaling personal injury firm built for impact and growth — owning the client experience end-to-end, from marketing and intake through litigation. We believe that world-class marketing, paired with exceptional legal talent and operations, creates better experiences and outcomes for clients and the business alike.

Over the past three years, we've grown 2–3x year over year, setting a new standard on the marketing side of the personal injury space and proving what's possible when strategy, speed, and execution align. Now we're applying that same discipline and innovation to firm operations, case management, and national scale — intentionally building the infrastructure, systems, and teams to grow without sacrificing quality, culture, or accountability.

We are a fully remote team that share trust, open communication, and a commitment to doing great work. If you love ownership, thrive in a fast-moving environment, and want to help build something exceptional, you'll feel right at home here.

As Top Dog Law continues its rapid national growth, our Talent Acquisition function needs a player coach who can lead a small team while staying hands-on with a personal req load. The Director of Talent Acquisition will manage up to two recruiters, own the company’s internship program end-toend, and partner closely with the VP of Talent Acquisition on strategy and reporting — all while personally carrying and closing requisitions.

This role also serves as Top Dog Law’s liaison to the legal community, building relationships with state and local law firm associations and representing the firm at legal conferences across the country. Expect meaningful travel (approximately 20%) as part of this role.

• Build and maintain partnerships with state and local law firm associations and legal industry groups
• Represent Top Dog Law at legal conferences and industry events across multiple states, serving as the firm's liaison to the broader legal community

Required:
