At Affinity/Lawyerist we help law firms transform:

• Their business through tailored strategic consulting and implementation services.
• Their work with new or improved technology, systems, and processes.
• Their team by training on essential business tools and skills.

Are you our next Business Strategist?

You may not be actively looking for a new role, yet there’s a part of you that knows your strengths could be used more fully. You know how small businesses work at a foundational level. You can see patterns others miss. You enjoy bringing clarity to complexity. And you’re at your best when you’re helping entrepreneurs make smarter, steadier decisions. 

If you’re energized by helping small business owners get out of chaos, build structure, and create a healthier business that doesn’t rely entirely on them, you may be exactly who we’re looking for. 

We’re looking for someone who loves working with owners in the early stages of their business—people who need guidance on pricing, time management, basic systems, marketing, hiring their first team members, and building a foundation that will scale. 

If you shine when you’re teaching, coaching, and giving clients clear next steps, we’d love to meet you.

What the roles looks like.

You’ll join our Strategist team and work directly with law firm owners in our Lab program. You’ll help them stabilize their business, build early systems, and learn how to operate like leaders rather than overwhelmed solo practitioners and small law firms. 

A typical week includes: 

• 1:1 STRATEGY SESSIONS: You’ll run structured strategy calls with clients who are building or systematizing their firm. The work includes diagnosing their challenges, helping them make decisions, and guiding them through the foundational elements of running a business. 
• GROUP SUPPORT You’ll help facilitate our weekly topic-based Q&A sessions or workshops, rotating through themes like time management, hiring fundamentals, simple marketing strategies, early systems design, and more. 
• CLIENT PROGRESS & ACCOUNTABILITY You’ll track client milestones, ensure they’re making meaningful progress, and support them through obstacles like overwhelm, inconsistent follow-through, or team bottlenecks. 
• THOUGHT LEADERSHIP You’ll contribute content that helps small firm owners build better businesses. This may include articles, workshop outlines, Q&A topics, or tools for our members. 
• TEAM COLLABORATION You’ll join team meetings, collaborate on quarterly priorities, and support the development of our program, systems, and curriculum. 
• EVENT SUPPORT You’ll help us plan and facilitate our virtual and in-person events.

In your first 90 days you will:

• Onboard into our coaching frameworks, tools, and stage-based methodology. 
• Begin coaching your first roster of clients and learning their firms inside and out. 
• Co-host or support a handful of group sessions or workshops. 
• Learn how we use our internal processes and software to track client progress. 
• Build trust with your colleagues and start contributing to our evolving curriculum for early-stage firms.

What we're looking for.

We hire first for judgment, curiosity, and integrity. The right person has a strong track record of helping small businesses get organized, focused, and healthier. 

Specifically, you should have: 

• Experience advising, coaching, or leading small businesses through foundational growth. 
• A strong understanding of basic business principles: pricing, packaging, financial visibility, capacity, and workflow. 
• The ability to simplify chaos—breaking overwhelm into clear, manageable steps. 
• Strength in systems thinking and process improvement. 
• Familiarity with early-stage hiring, delegation, and team building. 
• Confidence coaching owners who are anxious, reactive, or spread too thin. 
• Excellent communication skills—you can teach concepts clearly and hold clients accountable without being harsh. 
• The ability to manage multiple clients, deadlines, and conversations at once. 

You do not need to be a lawyer, nor do you need prior legal industry experience. We can teach you that. 

Most importantly, you should believe that small firm owners can run a successful business without sacrificing their sanity, health, or life.
