Counsel the Chief Financial Officer on issues related to contracts, including reviewing or drafting contracts as necessary, and on issues related to maintaining CBPP’s legal compliance and fiscal integrity.
Counsel the Vice President for People and Culture (HR) on issues related to employment law, ensuring compliance with CBPP’s collective bargaining agreement. Lead efforts related to union negotiations, including advising management’s representatives on the Labor-Management Committee.

At least ten years of relevant experience, with some experience in a nonprofit advocacy organization as in-house legal counsel. Experience with 501(c)(3) and/or 501(c)(4) organizations is required.
Familiarity with the various legal, tax, and compliance issues facing U.S. 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations based in Washington, D.C., including legislative advocacy, lobbying, and electoral rules. Working knowledge of contracts, intellectual property, corporate governance, cost sharing agreements, litigation, and employment law is required.

This position is based in the Washington, D.C. office. CBPP is currently operating on a hybrid work schedule of two in-office days (Tuesday and Wednesday) per week as well as the first Thursday of each month.
