* Passion for building lasting client relationships in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
This is a high-impact role offering a balance of leadership, variety, and innovation. You’ll be part of a team rethinking how law firms partner with in-house legal teams—while remaining close to the day-to-day of delivering legal work.
Fully remote, home-based role with attractive salary and benefits.
