Assistant General Counsel - Procurement and Supply Chain

Job Description

Assistant General Counsel, Supply Chain and Procurement (Onsite, Permanent, In-House)

We are delighted to partner with a thriving engineering, procurement and construction company to hire a key player in their legal department. This is a newly created, highly visible role built to support the company's growth - with direct reports and the opportunity to make a real impact on the business.

Key Responsibilities of the Assistant General Counsel, Supply Chain and Procurement Role

Proven leadership experience or readiness to step into one: you'll supervise and mentor a team of two attorneys, providing substantive guidance, reviewing their work product, and helping develop their careers while driving consistency across the group's commercial output.
Substantial experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating procurement, supply chain, construction, engineering, EPC, subcontract, equipment, material, services, and other major commercial agreements - ideally as a go-to resource business partners already seek out for the toughest deals.
Deep experience supporting complex construction, industrial, energy, infrastructure, and major capital project matters, with the judgment to spot issues before they become problems.
Sophisticated command of commercial risk allocation, project execution, procurement strategy, supplier management, prime contract flow-downs, change management, project controls, pricing concepts, schedule impacts, and claims avoidance - the full toolkit for protecting the company's interests on high-stakes projects.
A natural collaborator who builds trust across procurement, supply chain, project, commercial, engineering, finance, risk, compliance, and executive stakeholders - someone who leads through influence as much as expertise.

Qualifications for the Assistant General Counsel, Supply Chain and Procurement

10+ years' experience drafting, reviewing and negotiating high dollar supply chain and procurement transactions for major projects
Strong knowledge of supply chain, procurement and construction industry transactions
Executive presence to lead a team of attorneys and collaborate with business leaders
Active Bar license, Texas preferred, but will relocate a top candidate
