  • You have a solid legal background with a minimum of 10 years of experience in drafting, interpreting, and negotiating supply, services, and manufacturing contracts. You have also seen and worked on a wide variety of other matters that come across the table of an in-house lawyer in a small legal department.

  • You probably began your career by laboring happily in a swanky law firm or have been exposed to the joy of an in-house legal department.
