The Opportunity: Join TopDog Law and Build Something Meaningful

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
• Grow your skills, responsibility, and influence as the firm scales
• Work alongside high-caliber, mission-driven teammates who care deeply about doing great work

We are looking for people who don’t just want a job, they want purpose and impact.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you will be responsible for:

● Building and leading a lean, high-quality People Operations function that supports employees, managers, and leadership as the firm scales

● Owning core HR operations including employee relations, manager support, compliance, HRIS administration, benefits, compensation administration, and people process execution

● Partnering closely with the Chief People Officer and leaders across the business to translate culture, values, and business needs into practical people systems, policies, and employee experiences

● Ensuring operational excellence across the employee lifecycle through clear processes, strong follow-through, sound judgment, and a high-touch concierge-level experience

● Identifying opportunities to improve systems, processes, or outcomes

At TopDog Law, everyone is expected to think critically, communicate clearly, and take ownership of their work.

How This Role Drives the Business

This role is critical to our success because it:

● Directly impacts team efficiency, manager effectiveness, employee experience, retention, and organizational health

● Supports speed, quality, and consistency as we scale

● Helps protect and elevate the TopDog Law brand and employee experience

● Strengthens the foundation needed to grow responsibly and sustainably

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 6–12 months, success in this role looks like:

● Managers are better equipped and more consistent in how they lead people

● Employees experience the company as supportive, organized, responsive, and high quality

● HR is working proactively with managers to identify people risk, retention risk, performance concerns, and team friction early rather than reacting once issues escalate

● Core People Ops functions including compliance, HRIS administration, benefits administration, documentation, and employee lifecycle processes run cleanly, efficiently and reliably

● Employees are paid accurately and on time, and compensation administration is dependable and well-managed (this function may move to finance)

● Compensation practices are informed by market data and support attraction and retention of strong talent

● Top talent across the organization is identified, discussed intentionally, and nurtured for growth and retention

● People processes, policies, and employee touchpoints reflect the culture we want to build, not just what we say we value

● The Chief People Officer is fully freed from day-to-day HR administration and operational triage and able to focus on executive leadership, culture, communications, and strategy

Qualifications

Required:

● 8+ years of progressive HR / People Operations experience, including significant ownership in a fast-paced or scaling environment

● Experience leading or owning core HR functions including employee relations, manager coaching, compliance, policy, performance support, and people operations

● Demonstrated ability to build systems, processes, and infrastructure from scratch or in underbuilt environments

● Strong judgment and comfort operating in a high-growth, high-change, and at times high-risk environment

● Mindset that is pro-business and pro-people, simultaneously

● Experience balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution and administrative ownership

● Strong communication skills—written and verbal

● Ability to think critically, prioritize effectively, and execute with speed

Nice to Have:

● Experience in a fast-growing or high-volume environment

● Comfort with ambiguity and evolving systems

● Experience in legal, professional services, or client-centric organizations

● Experience with HRIS and workflow automation tools such as Rippling

● Experience supporting distributed or remote teams

● Experience with M&A and technology integrations

● Experience with compensation benchmarking, talent reviews, and succession planning

About TopDog Law

TopDog Law is a nationally scaling, fully-integrated, personal injury law firm with strong partner relationships across the country. We are building for impact, excellence, and growth.

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.

Our Story

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.
