Vice President & General Counsel

The Mission

As the Vice President and General Counsel, you will serve as the primary legal architect for an industry-leading firm. This isn't a traditional 'pen-and-paper' legal role; you will lead the charge in integrating legal strategy with enterprise-wide growth, overseeing everything from international regulatory compliance to high-stakes M&A and litigation management. You'll act as a core advisor to the Board, ensuring the organization remains protected while aggressively pursuing innovation.

AI-Driven Legal Strategy

SSOE is redefining the AEC industry by empowering its staff with cutting-edge vibe-coding tools and large language models. In this position, you won't just oversee contracts; you'll utilize AI to streamline complex workflows, automate risk-based playbooks, and enhance the precision of contract negotiations. The company provides specific training and secure access to advanced AI tools, ensuring that your legal team operates at the speed of modern technology.

Who You Are

You are a strategic thinker with a Juris Doctorate and at least a decade of high-level legal experience, preferably within the architecture, engineering, or construction sectors. You should be comfortable moving between boardroom governance and hands-on risk mitigation, all while championing a culture that embraces AI-assisted productivity. This role offers the chance to lead a legacy firm into a tech-enabled future with a highly competitive salary and a focus on work-life balance.
