The successful candidate will be a key leader in managing the company's litigation and disputes portfolio, which includes a range of complex commercial, consumer, and regulatory matters. This role involves developing and executing case strategies, coordinating with external law firms, and providing practical and timely legal advice to internal stakeholders.

Applicants for this role at the company should have a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited U.S. law school, with at least 6 years' of post-law-school experience, including a significant background in handling complex litigation.
