Lead Client Care Specialist (Remote Lead Receptionist) | Work for a U.S. Law Firm | Fully Remote

Lead the Voice That Makes a Difference

, PLC is a fast-growing boutique law firm headquartered in the Washington, DC area. Every day, people contact us during some of the most stressful moments of their lives. Our Client Care team is often the very first group they speak with, and the first impression they have of our firm.

We're looking for a leader who sets the standard on every call, coaches others to meet it, and takes pride in building a team that delivers an exceptional client experience.

This is far more than managing a phone queue. You'll lead a high-performing remote team while answering calls alongside them, owning the results, and growing the people who deliver them.

No legal experience is required. We provide comprehensive training; we're looking for proven leadership, the right attitude, and a commitment to excellence.

Monthly Compensation

$1,050 USD Base Salary + Uncapped Monthly Bonus Opportunities

Your salary is paid in USD, providing stability and competitive earning potential while working remotely from South Africa. Bonus opportunities are based on your own results and your team's performance.

What You'll Be Doing

As the Lead Client Care Specialist, you'll be a player-coach: answering calls alongside your team while making sure every person who contacts our firm is greeted promptly, warmly, and professionally.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading, training, and coaching a fully remote team of Client Care Specialists, including 1:1s, team meetings, and performance reviews
• Managing live phone coverage by scheduling breaks, lunches, and absences so no call goes unanswered between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM ET
• Monitoring team performance daily and addressing gaps in real time
• Assigning each team member a specialty area and holding them accountable for its results
• Auditing call recordings and data entry daily for quality and compliance
• Answering calls and leading by example on call quality and speed of answer
• Partnering with the Intake Manager on hiring, onboarding, and team development
• Ensuring the team maximizes outbound calls, 5-star reviews, and client referrals

We're Looking For Someone Who:

• Has experience leading, supervising, or coaching a customer service or call center team
• Holds themselves and others acountable to high standards
• Gives direct, kind feedback and welcomes it in return
• Has outstanding communication skills and excellent phone etiquette
• Is fluent in spoken and written U.S. English
• Has exceptional grammar, spelling, and attention to detail
• Learns new technology quickly
• Takes ownership of their team's results
• Desires career growth and a work environment that promotes from within

This role is built for someone wired a specific way. If a missed call on your team's watch makes you twitch, if "someone else will handle it" isn't in your vocabulary, and if you'd rather coach a teammate than cover for them, we should talk.
