About the role

Baylor University, a premier Christian research university in Waco, TX, seeks an experienced attorney to join the Office of General Counsel as Assistant or Associate General Counsel. You will provide strategic legal guidance to leadership, administrators, and departments on a wide range of higher education matters. The role involves advising on contracts, governance, compliance, and risk, plus leading or supporting litigation and outside counsel when needed.

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.
