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

Year Founded: 1988

What We Do

John Morgan became a lawyer with a simple mission: To fight for the people, and not the powerful. After experiencing firsthand the perils of choosing the wrong lawyer and representation after his brother Tim was paralyzed, he dedicated his life to helping people so that no one should ever have to go through what his family endured. Tim was just a teenager when he was working as a lifeguard at Disney World when he suffered a spinal injury that left him confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. The Morgans made a life altering decision and they hired the wrong lawyer, who was by no means qualified to take on such a large corporation and their army of lawyers. As a result, Tim never got the compensation he deserved. This experience left John outraged and determined to level the playing field for all people who, like his brother Tim, were injured or mistreated by big and powerful corporations. John decided to become a lawyer, and the rest is history. Since 1988, Morgan & Morgan has been fighting for the people. Every client who walks through our doors is treated the same way John wished his family would have been treated all those years ago. No one, no matter who they are, or where they’re from, should ever feel powerless when fighting for the justice and compensation they deserve. With $20 Billion dollars recovered for our clients, offices across 50 states + Washington D.C. and an army of over 1,000 attorneys - we are everywhere for everyone. All law firms are not the same. There’s only one Morgan & Morgan.
