A rapidly growing, mission-driven organization is adding multiple attorneys to its legal team due to significant expansion, creating a rare opportunity for an experienced Legal Counsel to join a high-impact legal department that is shaping an emerging area of regulatory and commercial law.

💰 Compensation: $130,000 - $160,000 Base Salary

💵 Bonus: Up to 10% Annual Bonus

🚀 Why Passive Candidates Are Taking This Call

Many in-house counsel roles eventually become routine.

This one won't.

You'll join a growing legal department supporting a nationally recognized organization operating at the intersection of:

♻️ Sustainability

📜 Regulatory Compliance

🤝 Commercial Contracting

🏢 Corporate Governance

🌎 Environmental Programs

This is a chance to work directly with executive leadership while helping build legal infrastructure, contract processes, and strategic frameworks for a rapidly expanding organization operating across multiple states.
