About the

Role:

We're looking for a first-year attorney to join our Executive Office in a dual capacity — part legal apprentice, part Chief of Staff to the CEO. You'll travel extensively with our CEO, work side-by-side with senior in-house counsel, and get hands-on exposure to the legal, strategic, and operational issues that shape the company at the highest level — with a particular focus on real estate transactions and matters.
