By Christina Sargsyan @ 2025-05-28T19:00 (+1)

As General Counsel, you play an integral role in furthering THL’s mission to end the abuse of animals raised for food. You are responsible for ensuring that THL operates within the law while still maximizing the effectiveness of our campaigns, offering counsel on legal issues, serving as an effective guardian of the organization, and facilitating programmatic and operational strategies, ensuring legal compliance and managing risk exposure. 

We want you because you are familiar with the accountabilities of a legal team in the nonprofit and campaigns & organizing space. You comprehend that there is more to lawyering than identifying risk, and you think creatively to generate solutions that allow THL to maximize impact. You are comfortable exercising and utilizing strategic judgment to help navigate tricky situations. You believe that win-win solutions exist and have to be prioritized, particularly when it comes to employee relations issues. You also bring a strong personal commitment to THL’s mission and a strategic approach to supporting our corporate campaigns work.

This position has a priority application deadline of Tuesday, June 10th, 2025 at 11:59 pm EST. The annual compensation range for this role is $178,955 - $218,723 USD, depending on experience.
