Vice President of Litigation

The Company is seeking a Vice President of Litigation to lead its global, enterprise-level litigation portfolio. This role is pivotal in the strategic risk management and protection of enterprise value within the engineering and construction industry. The successful candidate will be responsible for shaping and overseeing the global litigation strategy, providing senior-level judgment on high-stakes matters, and aligning legal decisions with business objectives. Unlike traditional litigation roles, the focus is on strategic oversight, risk stewardship, and executive judgment rather than courtroom advocacy. The Vice President of Litigation will also be a key strategic advisor to the business, driving outside counsel strategy, and leading a high-caliber team with a strong emphasis on mentorship and talent development. The ideal candidate for this position will have over 20 years' experience in managing complex, high-value litigation, with a proven track record of handling enterprise-significant matters and advising senior leadership. Deep expertise in litigation strategy, outside counsel management, and leading experienced legal teams is essential. The role requires a leader with a low-ego, relationship-driven professional style, who is a calm, decisive presence in high-stakes situations. Key attributes include being a strategic thinker, a trusted advisor, and a mentor who values the development of others. Experience in the construction, EPC, infrastructure, energy, mining, or industrial sectors, as well as exposure to complex global or public company environments, is also a necessary background for the role.
