A well-established plaintiff-side litigation firm in San Francisco is seeking a Legal Office Administrator on a contract-to-hire basis to support the firm’s continued growth. This is an onsite, client-facing role best suited for someone who takes pride in being the operational backbone of a small, collaborative office. The firm represents individuals navigating serious life events, and many clients are managing physical or emotional challenges. The person in this role must be patient, composed, and compassionate while maintaining strong organization and professionalism in a busy legal environment. The ideal candidate will be comfortable handling reception, managing office logistics, coordinating attorney calendars, and serving as a steady, professional point of contact for clients, with the opportunity to take on additional responsibilities over time. This is an excellent opportunity for an administrative legal professional who enjoys a hands-on role in a collaborative, small-firm setting and is seeking long-term growth within office operations rather than paralegal-track responsibilities.
