Remote Client Operations Manager for Legal Services Company
Pearl Talent
Hirezar Summary for South African Applicants
This fully remote full time position at Pearl Talent explicitly welcomes applicants based in South Africa. This role is suited for mid-senior level-level professionals. As a remote position, you can work from anywhere in South Africa — whether you're based in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or a smaller town.
Job Description
Work From Anywhere in LATAM or the Philippines
Work Schedule:
Eastern Time | 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET, 100% overlap required (Monday–Friday)
A founder-led, tech-enabled legal-medical services company is looking for a Client Operations Manager to own end-to-end case coordination and act as the operational backbone linking law firms, insurance carriers, and medical experts.
The business is early-stage and lean, where one person owns broad operational scope and effectively runs their own workflow like a mini-GM. Transactions are high-dollar and high-stakes, the audience is legal and medical professionals, and the culture rewards ownership, precision, and resourcefulness over rigid process.
Day-to-day, this role owns a high-volume, multi-channel queue of active cases across email, phone, and portal; manages invoicing, scheduling, and coordination; and builds or repairs the trackers and processes that keep everything moving. Success means the founders no longer have to chase confirmations or invoices — they fully trust that day-to-day case management is handled, freeing them to focus on growth.
Requirements
Must-Have
4+ years owning a high-volume queue of cases, accounts, or client relationships end-to-end in a B2B services environment
Proven experience managing high concurrent volume across multiple channels (email, phone, client portal)
Hands-on ownership of money-adjacent workflows (invoicing, billing, or claims/case financial coordination) under zero-defect accuracy requirements
Track record of building or repairing a tracker, SOP, checklist, or workflow process from scratch
Proficiency with Excel and Outlook plus at least one CRM, case-management, or client-portal system
C1+ English (CEFR) — written and spoken at near-native, mastery level for direct communication with US attorneys and medical professionals
Availability to work 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET with 100% overlap
Nice-to-Have
Domain exposure to medicolegal, legal services, IME, medical records, insurance, or claims coordination
Experience at an early-stage startup or lean, founder-led services business with broad individual operational ownership
Experience coordinating directly between external professional stakeholders (law firms, medical providers, insurance carriers)
Demonstrated ability to rapidly learn bespoke or proprietary internal tools and systems
Documented promotions or expanding scope within a single organization

Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
