This role is an opportunity to:

• Join a rapidly growing national firm at a formative stage
• Make a visible, measurable impact on a rapidly growing business

• Partner with IT & Analytics teams to design reporting dashboards and status trackers to provide visibility into settlement team performance and project progress
• Operate as a trusted partner to legal leadership, exercising sound judgment and discretion in handling sensitive matters
• Identifying opportunities to improve systems, processes, or outcomes—not just following existing playbooks

TopDog Law is a nationally scaling, fully-integrated, personal injury law firm built for impact, excellence, and growth. We own the client experience end-to-end, from marketing and intake through litigation, because we believe how we do the work matters just as much as what we achieve.

We are building a high-performance, high-trust, no-ego culture where talented people do meaningful work, grow quickly, and take pride in what they build together. This is not a legacy law firm. This is a rocket ship, and we’re assembling the team that will take it to the next level.

If you thrive in fast-moving environments, love taking ownership and being held accountable, and want to be part of something you can help shape, not just maintain, you’ll feel right at home here.

TopDog Law is not your typical law firm. 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 law firm operations, case management, and execution as we scale nationally and fully integrate.

We are intentionally building the infrastructure, systems, and teams needed to scale at a national level—without sacrificing quality, culture, or accountability. This is still the early stage of that journey, which means the people who join now have a real opportunity to help shape how the firm operates for years to come.

We don’t hire based on resumes alone. We hire for competence, character, and mindset.

You will thrive at TopDog Law if you:

• You have a growth mindset and seek continuous improvement
• You welcome feedback and adapt quickly
• You ask “What’s next?” rather than “That’s not my job”

• You care deeply about doing great work
• You have your teammates’ backs
• You’re here to build something meaningful and long-lasting

• You show up positive, professional, and solutions-oriented
• You enjoy the work and respect the people around you
• You leave drama, negativity, and ego at the door

• You do what you say you’ll do
• You follow through and communicate early when something’s off track
• You treat the business like it’s yours

• You move with urgency and sound judgment
• You prioritize progress over perfection
• You thrive in fast-paced, high-expectation environments
• You seek feedback, stretch assignments, and more responsibility
• You’re motivated by growth, impact, and building something bigger than yourself

• Real growth: As the firm grows, so do opportunities for advancement and leadership
• High standards, real support: Clear expectations, coaching, and accountability
• Culture that matters: Trust, respect, speed, and integrity, without sacrificing humanity
• Meaningful work: Helping people through some of the hardest moments of their lives

If you’re excited by ownership, accountability, growth, and the chance to help build something exceptional from the ground up - we’d love to hear from you.
