Position Overview
We’re partnering with an established, mission-driven nonprofit to hire a Managing Attorney for its in-house legal team. This is a true “player coach” opportunity. You’ll supervise and develop attorneys while remaining actively involved in the practice yourself, particularly in civil litigation and higher-level legal matters.
The Chief Legal Officer is looking for a strong second-in-command who can help shape the direction of the department, strengthen risk and compliance practices, and continue moving Legal from a reactive resource to a proactive business partner.
What You'll Do
- Supervise, mentor, and develop attorneys while helping manage workloads across the legal team
- Maintain an active litigation practice and step into more complex matters when needed
- Develop litigation strategy and provide guidance to attorneys handling cases
- Advise internal teams on legal risk, compliance, contracts, policies, and operational matters
- Review and negotiate commercial and real estate-related agreements
- Translate complex legal issues into practical guidance for employees and leadership
- Develop training and resources that help non-legal teams better understand legal and compliance requirements
- Identify opportunities to improve processes, controls, and department efficiency
- Help develop a more formal organizational approach to risk management
- Support the implementation and continued development of legal technology and contract management processes
- Partner closely with the Chief Legal Officer on department strategy and longer-term initiatives
What We're Looking For
- Active Massachusetts Bar admission required
- Strong hands-on civil litigation experience, including meaningful courtroom exposure
- Previous experience directly supervising and developing attorneys
- Ability to independently manage complex legal matters and exercise sound judgment
- Strong written, oral advocacy, and negotiation skills
- Experience with contracts, regulatory matters, real estate, housing, or nonprofit organizations is helpful
- Comfortable working across both litigation and advisory matters
- Strategic mindset with an interest in risk management, compliance, and process improvement
