Legal Counsel

Legal Counsel

Most in-house counsel roles hand you a narrow lane. This one hands you the whole legal function. You'd step in as the organization's primary legal advisor, working shoulder-to-shoulder with executive leadership, HR, Finance, and Operations — not reviewing decisions after they're made, but shaping them.
One day you're advising HR through a sensitive workplace investigation. The next you're negotiating a vendor contract, directing the response to a regulatory inquiry, or briefing leadership on risk ahead of a strategic move. If you want a role where no two weeks look the same and your judgment actually carries weight in the room, this is it.

Why This Opportunity Is Different
Unlike roles where legal is siloed or buried several layers from decision-makers, this position reports directly into senior HR leadership and sits at the table for strategic conversations — acquisitions, restructuring, risk calls. You'll have real autonomy over how legal matters are handled, genuine variety across disciplines (employment, litigation, immigration, contracts, governance, IP), and the stability of being the trusted internal advisor rather than one of several outside firms competing for attention.
