In addition to the two deputies, there is a Legal Counsel, all of whom report to the General Counsel. Other members of the Legal Team share several of the duties of this position, and the actual responsibilities may depend on the experience, skills, and interests of the successful candidate. Required Competencies: • Ability to clearly communicate complex legal theories (oral and written) to non-legal team members with varying levels of experience working with attorneys and legal principles. • Ability to work well under pressure and provide quality results in limited time frames. • Ability to prioritize multiple tasks and deadlines and timely complete tasks.
