About the role

Grand Valley State University seeks an Assistant General Counsel to provide broad legal advice to university leadership, administrators and campus partners. This role requires experience in diverse areas of law, strong judgment, and clear communication with non-lawyers. The successful candidate will handle advisory work, draft and review legal documents, manage litigation and investigations as needed, and guide compliance and risk management across departments.

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.
