About the role

Leacounty seeks an Assistant County Attorney to provide legal guidance to the Board of County Commissioners, elected officials, and department leaders. The role includes performing legal research and drafting memoranda, and prosecuting violations of county ordinances or representing the County in civil matters. Under the County Attorney's supervision, you may serve as general counsel when the County Attorney is absent.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
