About the role

Barnes & Noble Education is seeking a Legal Assistant for our Florham Park, NJ headquarters in a hybrid in-office role. You will provide administrative and substantive support to the Legal Department, handling contracts, privacy, compliance, and governance matters. The position offers training to expand into more substantive legal responsibilities over time, including research, contract administration, and governance, with guidance from attorneys.

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.
