What You’ll Work On

The Director of Legal is a practical, business-minded attorney who handles most of the Campbell Group’s routine legal work so the businesses can move quickly with appropriate protection. This is initially a one-person legal function with room to grow. The ideal candidate has impeccable standards and sound judgment, understands how our businesses make money, and resolves issues commercially rather than through dispute. The role works closely with the Executive Team, business unit leaders, and functions across the Group.

You’ll Support Your Team by Performing the Following Key Tasks

• Business Advisory
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to business leaders across the Group, providing practical legal counsel that supports sound decision making
• Commercial Agreements
  • Draft, review, and negotiate terms and conditions, NDAs, supply, distribution, reseller, partnership, services, software/data license, and tender agreements
  • Build and maintain templates, playbooks, and fallback positions so business units can handle standard transactions on their own
  • Advise on warranty, liability, and risk allocation
• Employment Law
  • Advise HR and managers on employment matters, review policies, agreements, and correspondence for compliance, and involve outside counsel when needed
• Legal, Ethical, and Regulatory Compliance
  • Ensure the Group operates to the highest legal and ethical standards and complies with the regulations of each jurisdiction in which it operates
  • Support compliance with trade (export control, customs, and tariffs), privacy, product regulation, and information security requirements, working with product, IT, and outside specialists

  • Maintain corporate records and entity filings for the Group’s U.S. and international entities
  • Prepare and review intercompany agreements and support the HoldCo shared services model
  • Advise the Board of Directors and Executive Team, and support shareholder communications
• Outside Counsel, Intellectual Property, and Transactions
  • Decide what to handle internally versus through outside counsel, manage outside counsel scope and cost, and coordinate with local counsel on regional office matters
  • Coordinate intellectual property matters (patents, copyrights, and trademarks) and maintain registrations
  • Support M&A by coordinating due diligence and documentation; outside counsel leads negotiation and drafting
  • Coordinate litigation, claims, and risk management with outside counsel and insurance brokers
• Legal Operations
  • Maintain organized legal files and retention practices, and report to the CEO on open matters, spend, and emerging risks

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree and J.D. from an ABA-accredited U.S. law school
• 7+ years of legal practice, including law firm experience, ideally including at least 3 years in-house or client-embedded

• Excellent analytical, drafting, and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex legal issues into practical, plain-English guidance and training for non-lawyers
• Sound business judgment, including knowing when to accept reasonable risk and which clauses are worth negotiating
• Self-directed, with good judgment about when to escape or involve outside counsel
• Strong project management skills and attention to detail
• Collaborative, solution-oriented, and open to feedback
• Comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-paced, growth-oriented organization
• Proficient with Microsoft Office and Teams
• Preferred Qualifications
  • In-house experience at a manufacturing, technology, or instrumentation company
  • Experience supporting international operations, including working with local counsel in multiple countries

• Performance Metrics

  • Contract turnaround time
  • In-house client satisfaction
