About the Role

The Company is seeking a Deputy General Counsel, National Security, to provide business-minded legal leadership for its national security portfolio. The role includes setting legal strategy and risk posture, advising executives and boards, and serving as the senior legal voice for supported businesses. Responsibilities span government contracts, facility clearances, conflict-of-interest mitigation, and prime-subcontractor agreements, as well as supporting new ventures from formation and equity issuance through growth. The Deputy General Counsel will also make independent decisions on complex matters, escalate key issues appropriately, and mentor junior lawyers. Candidates must hold a J.D., be licensed and in good standing in a U.S. jurisdiction, and have at least 12 years of legal experience, including eight years in national security, defense, government contracting, or government work; eligibility to obtain a U.S. security clearance is required. Applicants should have experience drafting and negotiating government contracts, including FAR- and DFARS-based agreements, SBIRs, and OTAs, and familiarity with ITAR/EAR, CMMC, and CFIUS/FOCI requirements. Strong independent judgment, proactive leadership, and the ability to advise senior stakeholders are essential. Experience with high-growth startups, an active security clearance, and familiarity with AI legal or productivity tools are preferred.
