About The Position

Are you our next Business Strategist? You may not be actively looking for a new role, yet there’s a part of you that knows your strengths could be used more fully. You know how small businesses work at a foundational level. You can see patterns others miss. You enjoy bringing clarity to complexity. And you’re at your best when you’re helping entrepreneurs make smarter, steadier decisions. If you’re energized by helping small business owners get out of chaos, build structure, and create a healthier business that doesn’t rely entirely on them, you may be exactly who we’re looking for. We’re looking for someone who loves working with owners in the early stages of their business—people who need guidance on pricing, time management, basic systems, marketing, hiring their first team members, and building a foundation that will scale. If you shine when you’re teaching, coaching, and giving clients clear next steps, we’d love to meet you. You’ll join our Strategist team and work directly with law firm owners in our Lab program. You’ll help them stabilize their business, build early systems, and learn how to operate like leaders rather than overwhelmed solo practitioners and small law firms. We’re Affinity and Lawyerist (one team; two brands) and we’re changing the legal industry by helping legal professionals build healthy businesses and better lives. Alongside our consulting and coaching work, we produce The Lawyerist Podcast, publish a best-selling book, speak at national conferences, and build bold partnerships with the tools and organizations reshaping the legal landscape.

Requirements

Experience advising, coaching, or leading small businesses through foundational growth.
A strong understanding of basic business principles: pricing, packaging, financial visibility, capacity, and workflow.
The ability to simplify chaos—breaking overwhelm into clear, manageable steps.
Strength in systems thinking and process improvement.
Familiarity with early-stage hiring, delegation, and team building.
Confidence coaching owners who are anxious, reactive, or spread too thin.
Excellent communication skills—you can teach concepts clearly and hold clients accountable without being harsh.
The ability to manage multiple clients, deadlines, and conversations at once.
Most importantly, you should believe that small firm owners can run a successful business without sacrificing their sanity, health, or life.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP You’ll contribute content that helps small firm owners build better businesses. This may include articles, workshop outlines, Q&A topics, or tools for our members.
