Job description

North American Management, LLC

Base Salary: $175,000 – $225,000, plus annual performance bonus

Location: Remote, hybrid, or in-office. Fully remote work is available for candidates whose experience supports working independently; the arrangement will be finalized with the selected candidate. Offices in Murray, UT; Austin, TX; and Frederick, MD.

Why This Role

• Be the lawyer, not one of fifty. You’ll be the dedicated legal partner to a group of privately held companies, working directly with owners and executives rather than through layers of a legal department.
• Real variety. Commercial contracts, governance, deals, and risk work across construction, real estate, asset management, and manufacturing businesses.
• Flexible work arrangement. Remote options for qualified candidates, with a team of accounting and management professionals who handle the operational side so you can focus on legal work.
• No billable-hour or origination targets.

What You Bring

Required

• J.D. and an active law license in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction, with eligibility to register or practice as in-house counsel where you reside.

• Strong contract drafting and negotiation skills.
• Comfort advising non-lawyer executives and giving clear, practical answers.
