About the Role
The Company is seeking an Assistant General Counsel to provide practical legal guidance across its nonprofit operations. Responsibilities include drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts and program documents; advising on grants, advocacy, fundraising, employment, intellectual property, privacy, and compliance; and managing litigation and dispute resolution with outside counsel. The role also supports real estate and land conservation projects, develops staff training, conducts legal research, and helps maintain organizational policies and internal controls. The successful candidate will manage multiple matters across jurisdictions and provide sound, mission-aligned counsel to teams throughout the organization. Candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree and Juris Doctor and be admitted to a state bar, with at least three years of legal experience or equivalent general legal and contracting experience.
