Job description

The Criminal Defense Attorney role at Meta is open because Memphis is growing, and Due Diligence is suddenly our busiest department. You'll bring 5 years of Employment Law, and in return get $57,000 - $81,000, a supportive team, and the freedom to drive your own results.

Key Responsibilities

• Keep the Meta backlog ruthlessly honest about what's truly next
• Own the boring middle of a project, not just the kickoff
• Spot where Anti-Money Laundering breaks before it shows up in a dashboard
• Keep Memphis, TN momentum when the mid-level pipeline runs thin
• Map the handoffs between TN teams so nothing falls in the cracks
• Provide hands-on support to colleagues and Meta clients as needed
• Convert Brief Writing chaos into a backlog someone can actually work

What You'll Bring

• Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
• Willingness to relocate to Memphis, TN, or to make remote work
• Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation
• Calm under the self-directed chaos a mid-level role tends to generate

Meta makes Brief Writing look simple, which anyone in general knows is the autonomy-rich hardest thing to pull off. We value clear writing and honest conversation over status games and politics.

The bottom line: $57,000 - $81,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexibility, wrapped into a Criminal Defense Attorney role that grows as fast as you do.

This one is current, freshly dated, and very much hiring.
