The Opportunity
Sterlington is looking for a Business Operations Manager to pick up and help distribute work and manage stakeholders from the Head of Firm Management's portfolio. The Head of Firm Management leads the firm and sits on its management committee, and the portfolio spans every function: strategy, partner matters, planning cycles, firm-wide initiatives and external relationships. This role sits at the center of that portfolio, ensuring that priorities are visible, decisions are made on time, and commitments are delivered without friction.
You will be accountable for what reaches the Head of Firm Management and what is resolved before it does. That means holding a live view of every open commitment across the portfolio, converting a continuous inbound flow into a ranked and decided list, and closing out what does not require her. Where the cadence for a workstream does not yet exist, you will design it in partnership with the Head of Operations so that it is consistent with how the rest of the firm runs.
What You'll Do:
- Stakeholder Management: Coordinate across partners, senior lawyers, business services and external parties, serving as the primary liaison on her behalf, driving follow-through, accountability and timely escalation where needed.
- AI-Driven Process Innovation: Drive continuous improvement by refining workflows for greater efficiency and scalability, integrating AI tools in a measured, high-judgment manner to enhance tracking, summarization, briefing preparation and internal coordination.
- Demand and Priority Management: Own the inbound flow of partner requests, firm issues and external approaches. Decide what reaches the Head of Firm Management, what is redirected, and what is closed out, with a reason attached to every call.
- Leadership Operating Rhythm: Run the cadence of firm leadership: management committee preparation, planning cycles, leadership meetings and reviews. Translate the firm's planning and reporting cycles into a working rhythm for the portfolio, and design what does not yet exist.
- Decision Support: Prepare concise, decision-ready briefings, committee papers and status summaries that allow the Head of Firm Management to act quickly and with confidence, then drive execution on those decisions.
- Execution Ownership: Take initiatives she does not have the capacity to run, own them end to end, and report on them once rather than continuously.
- Risk Mitigation: Anticipate gaps, misalignments and potential delays, and resolve them before they surface.
What We're Looking For:
- Experience providing direct support to an executive leader, stretching across business operations, Chief of Staff, Strategy or Operations roles, with the judgment, discretion and communication skills to drive initiatives forward instead of just relaying information
- A track record of creating a way of working rather than inheriting one, inside someone else's framework rather than around it
- Judgment you can explain: a method for deciding on another person's behalf, including declining requests from senior people while keeping the relationship intact
- Professional services, law firm or equivalent complex stakeholder environment is a strong plus
- Native or full professional English fluency required
- Structured, systems-oriented mindset: you introduce clarity without over-engineering
- Discretion and composure. You will hold the firm's most sensitive information
At Sterlington, we believe that world-class talent has no boundaries. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where unique perspectives are valued and every individual has the opportunity to thrive. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply.
