About the role

Wake County seeks an exceptional County Attorney to lead legal affairs for a dynamic, fast‑growing county. You will advise elected officials and senior leadership on complex legal and policy matters while overseeing litigation, risk management, and contract negotiations. The ideal candidate has extensive public sector experience, strong judgment, integrity, and excellent communication skills, with a Juris Doctorate and active North Carolina Bar license.

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.
