Compliance Counsel - Remote

Counsel, Edupreneur Resource Center Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America's boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country's biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

Within education, our vision is to enable every student to discover and develop their unique potential and purpose. We advance this vision by supporting a transition from a one-size-fits-all system to a dynamic ecosystem of diverse, high-quality educational options that are tailored to individual needs.

The Stand Together Edupreneur Resource Center (the "ERC") plays a key role in this effort by equipping education entrepreneurs with the legal and regulatory knowledge they need to launch and grow innovative education ventures.

Stand Together seeks a highly motivated and entrepreneurial attorney to join its in-house legal team as Counsel, Edupreneur Resource Center.

This role combines development of scalable legal resources and direct engagement with entrepreneurs, with an emphasis on resource creation. In this role, you will empower education entrepreneurs by translating complex legal and regulatory frameworks into clear, practical, and actionable guidance for non-lawyers. You will develop scalable resources and provide individualized support that enables founders to confidently navigate compliance challenges.

Why This Role Matters This role sits at the intersection of law, innovation, and social impact. You will help remove legal and regulatory barriers that limit the growth of new and diverse education models, directly contributing to the ability of education entrepreneurs to operate free from regulatory overreach and the freedom for students and families to access the right educational option for them.

The ERC does not provide legal representation or form attorney-client relationships. Instead, it delivers general legal information and practical guidance to help entrepreneurs make informed decisions and advocate for themselves.

How You Will Contribute Develop Scalable Resources : You will create high-quality, user-friendly legal content, including guides, templates, FAQs, and toolkits. You will design and deliver educational programming such as webinars, trainings, and online courses. You will continuously refine materials based on user needs, changes in law, and emerging legal developments.

Provide Practical Legal Guidance : You will engage directly with ERC customers (entrepreneurs) to help them understand applicable legal and regulatory requirements across jurisdictions. You will conduct legal research and synthesize findings into clear, risk-informed guidance for non-lawyers. You will identify common legal pathways and practical considerations for navigating regulatory barriers.

Support Strategic Litigation & Policy Efforts : Occasionally, you will collaborate with internal and external partners on litigation and policy initiatives that expand educational entrepreneurship. You will contribute legal research, issue spotting, and analysis to advance these efforts.

Act as a Strategic Thought Partner : You will help shape the ERC's strategy, priorities, and offerings based on strategic goals, legal trends, and customer needs. Collaborate and Innovate : You will partner across the Stand Together legal team to improve processes, tools, and service delivery. You will bring forward creative approaches to balancing legal risk with mission-driven impact.
