Full Job Description
Summary

Morgan & Morgan is seeking an experienced Employment Litigation Operations Manager to lead the operational infrastructure of our California employment practice. This is a senior, high-impact role for a leader who has deep experience managing employment claims at scale, ideally someone who has built, overseen, or driven the claims operations function at a top-tier Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) carrier.

What You'll Own
  • End-to-end case oversight across our California employment docket -- ensuring every matter is moving on track, properly staffed, and positioned for the best outcome
  • Design and enforce case management workflows, stage gates, and operational standards that drive efficiency across high-volume employment litigation
  • Partner with attorneys to identify bottlenecks, remove obstacles, and keep cases progressing from intake through resolution
  • Build reporting dashboards and KPIs that give leadership real-time visibility into docket health, cycle times, resolution rates, and team performance
  • Develop and maintain vendor and outside counsel panels, ensuring cost-effective, high-quality legal support where needed
  • Lead and mentor a team of case managers, paralegals, and operations staff supporting the employment practice
  • Evaluate and implement technology tools, case management platforms, and process improvements to increase throughput and reduce friction
  • Own the operational playbook for California employment law compliance requirements, including PAGA, FEHA, and wage & hour matters
  • Serve as the primary operational liaison between the employment practice and firm-wide operations, marketing, client success, and leadership teams
  • As the practice scales, expand operational oversight to employment practices in additional states -- building a national infrastructure from the ground up

What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience managing employment claims or employment litigation operations, with direct exposure to high-volume California dockets
  • Background at a major EPLI carrier strongly preferred
  • Deep knowledge of California employment law and its unique exposure landscape: PAGA, FEHA, CFRA, wage & hour class actions, and DFEH/CRD processes
  • Proven ability to build and lead teams
  • Strong analytical and data skills
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills
  • A systems builder and problem solver
  • Experience with legal case management platforms
