This is a unique opportunity for an attorney who wants to move beyond traditional legal work and directly shape the growth trajectory of a multi-state retail platform.

Job Responsibility

  • Serve as the Company’s primary in-house counsel, advising on all legal matters including contracts, real estate, compliance, employment, and corporate governance
  • Lead and develop the legal function, including oversight of the Director of Legal Services and internal team
  • Draft, negotiate, and structure complex commercial agreements and strategic transactions

  • Act as a trusted advisor to the President and executive team, influencing key strategic decisions
  • Provide clear, practical, and commercially grounded legal guidance that enables the business to move quickly and confidently
  • Balance risk management with growth, ensuring legal oversight accelerates—not inhibits—execution
  • Play a visible leadership role in shaping Company strategy and performance

Requirements

  • Juris Doctor (JD) with active bar admission
  • 8–15+ years of legal experience, including a combination of law firm and in-house experience (preferred)
  • Demonstrated experience in commercial real estate and multi-location retail environments
  • Proven track record advising on broad business risk, including contracts, employment, regulatory, and operational matters
  • Elite negotiator with a strong deal-making mindset
  • Deep business acumen with the ability to connect legal decisions to financial outcomes
