Chief of Staff

The Company is seeking a Counsel and Chief of Staff to serve as a strategic partner and trusted advisor to senior legal leadership. The role combines legal counsel with strategic and operational support, including assessing risks in complex litigation and investigations, coordinating legal workflows, and helping manage a large caseload and cross-functional initiatives. Responsibilities include aligning stakeholders, prioritizing matters, allocating resources, overseeing projects and legal budgets, coordinating outside counsel, and improving processes and legal operations. The successful candidate will also prepare and review reports, presentations, and memoranda, and provide legal advice on novel or sensitive matters. Candidates must hold a JD and have at least eight years of experience as an attorney in litigation, a related practice area, or another relevant field; judicial clerkships may count toward this requirement. Admission to practice in Massachusetts, or readiness to obtain admission within one year, is required. The role calls for strong litigation knowledge, research and analytical ability, sound independent judgment, and exceptional written and oral communication and diplomacy skills. Experience advising higher education institutions or other complex organizations, along with the ability to manage competing sensitive matters and support legal technology and workflow improvements, is preferred.
