Associate General Counsel (Req#1251)

**Location: Herndon, VA (Hybrid)** Overview The Associate General Counsel (AGC) plays a critical role in partnering with the Deputy General Counsel and business leaders to support the company’s business objectives and ensure the company’s legal, compliance, and risk-management functions operate smoothly, efficiently, and reliably. This is an execution-focused, operationally oriented role for an experienced lawyer who takes pride in enabling progress while exercising sound judgment. The ideal candidate understands that strong legal departments are most effective when their work is pragmatic and business-oriented.

The AGC will handle a wide range of legal matters across the business and, over time, will take primary ownership of one or more substantive areas based on business needs and individual strengths. This role is designed for a lawyer who values autonomy, increasing ownership, and professional satisfaction through scope and responsibility, rather than formal hierarchy or title progression.

Key Responsibilities
