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.
Stand Together's legal capability ("ST Legal") is looking for a senior legal professional who can work with the General Counsel to revisit, refresh, and revamp current legal management processes, then help maintain sustainable systems to meet the ever-increasing needs of our growing philanthropic community. The ideal candidate will have 10+ years of experience working as a paralegal or legal assistant for either a significant in-house legal department or an AMLaw 100 law firm, with experience in corporate governance, large transactions/acquisitions, government interaction, and/or commercial compliance. Knowledge of, and a willingness to experiment with, new platforms and Generative AI tools to innovate processes is also desired.
This role will support the operations of ST Legal, currently 11 attorneys and 8 professionals, which provides legal support for organizations across the community. In doing so, ST Legal has responsibility for key legal functions, such as corporate and Board governance, contracts, investment and acquisitions, litigation, intellectual property, management of compliance programs and policies, and government filings and submissions. All of these activities are document-intensive, requiring attention to detail, sophisticated organizational processes, and continuously updated document creation and retention tools.
The right candidate will find at Stand Together a sophisticated practice similar to what they have experienced, with the added satisfaction of working on projects and with teams focused on helping all Americans, especially those looking to overcome barriers. For those who want to do sophisticated and challenging work but want it focused on more than just corporate profits or billable hours — this is the job for you.
We are an in-office collaborative environment where in-person presence is preferred. No travel expected.
