Job description

Associate General Counsel
College Board - Risk Management
Location: This is a remote role. Candidates who live near CB offices have the option of being fully remote or hybrid (Tuesday and Wednesday in office). All CB employees are required to occasionally travel to meet in person for business purposes.
Role Type: This is a full-time position
About the Team
The Legal team works across the College Board to manage legal risks, comply with privacy obligations, and help drive the achievement of organizational priorities through the provision of ongoing legal counsel. The group's work includes handling litigation and disputes, privacy, intellectual property and licensing, contracts and partnerships, employment law and compliance, immigration, governance and nonprofit law, and acquisitions.
About the Opportunity
  • College Board's legal team is growing to meet the demands of an expanding organization - from commercial contracts and new product lines to strategic acquisitions. We need talented legal counsel who can contribute across a range of high-stakes work and move at the pace of our ambitions.

  • This role sits at the center of that work. You will be a key partner to the General Counsel across three areas: managing a growing portfolio of revenue contracts, supporting the legal needs of new and existing business lines, and - when the time comes - leading legal due diligence on acquisitions. You will work with real autonomy and have direct impact on some of the most consequential work the organization undertakes.

  • This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes initiative, and can operate as a trusted legal advisor across a variety of contexts.

  • College Board's legal team is growing to meet the demands of an increasingly active M&A strategy and other legal needs. As we acquire and integrate companies that expand our reach, including recent transactions like District C, Campus Sonar, and MyinTution, we need talented legal counsel who can move at the pace of our ambitions.

  • This role sits at the center of that work. You will be a key partner to the General Counsel, leading legal due diligence on acquisitions, managing a growing portfolio of revenue contracts, and building the legal infrastructure that allows our team to scale. You will work with real autonomy and have direct impact on some of the most consequential work the organization undertakes.

  • This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes initiative, and can operate as a trusted legal advisor in a fast-moving environment, not just a drafter waiting for instructions.

  • An important note: The volume and pace of M&A activity at College Board will evolve over the next 24 months, and this role is designed to scale with it. We are hiring ahead of anticipated deal flow because we know that expert legal capacity cannot be built on demand, it takes time to develop, and we intend to be ready. The work percentages outlined below reflect our best current estimate; in practice, they will flex as transaction activity increases. The right person for this role will be energized by that variability, not unsettled by it.

In this role, you will:
Lead M&A Legal Due Diligence (primary responsibility)
  • Own and coordinate the legal diligence workstream for acquisition targets from initiation through close

  • Build and maintain diligence trackers that serve as the deal team's source of truth on legal risk

  • Draft, review, and negotiate transaction documents under the General Counsel's supervision

  • Proactively surface material issues with recommended positions, not just flags

  • Interface with outside counsel, manage work products, and control costs

  • Develop M&A playbooks and templates so each new deal builds on institutional knowledge rather than starting from scratch

Manage and Expand Revenue Contracts Capacity
  • Build proficiency with College Board's revenue contract portfolio and assume ownership of a defined set of agreements within the first 90 days

  • Draft, negotiate, and manage customer and vendor agreements across existing and newly acquired business lines

  • Drive assigned contracts to resolution, whether executed, renegotiated, or declined, with accuracy, timeliness, and sound legal judgment

  • Support the creation and management of net-new contract frameworks required by acquisitions

  • Build reusable contract templates for the most common agreement types, reducing cycle time and legal risk

Strengthen Legal Operations & Infrastructure
  • Identify and close gaps in legal processes, templates, and documentation, especially between active deal cycles

  • Contribute to making the legal function more scalable as CB's acquisition pace grows

  • Handle additional matters as directed by the General Counsel, maintaining flexibility as organizational priorities evolve

About You
Exceptional candidates can effectively speak to:
  • Experience working in the corporate practice of a mid to large-sized law firm, primarily on M&A matters (required).

  • Experience coordinating and leading deal diligence.

  • Experience negotiating and drafting deal documents.

  • In-house transactional experience (following law firm training) is a plus.

  • Experience with non-profit law is a plus.

  • Enjoys the challenge of steep learning curves and seeks responsibility, independence, and decision-making authority, while knowing when to seek direction and guidance from others and how to operate within a team.

  • Strong project management instincts; you can manage multiple workstreams, track open items, and communicate status clearly to non-lawyers

  • Sharp written and verbal communication skills

  • A collaborative working style; this role requires close partnership with the GC, finance, business development, and acquired company teams

  • J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school; active bar membership in good standing required

All roles at College Board require:
  • A passion for expanding educational and career opportunities and mission-driven work

  • Curiosity and enthusiasm for emerging technologies, with a willingness to experiment with and adopt new AI-driven solutions and comfort with learning and applying new digital tools independently and proactively.

  • Clear and concise communication skills, written and verbal

  • A learner's mindset and a commitment to growth: welcoming diverse perspectives, giving and receiving timely, respectful feedback, and continuously improving through iterative learning and user input.

  • A drive for impact and excellence: solving complex problems, making data-informed decisions, prioritizing what matters most, and continuously improving through learning, user input, and external benchmarking.

  • A collaborative and empathetic approach: working across differences, fostering trust, and contributing to a culture of shared success

  • Authorization to work in the United States

About Our Process
  • Application review will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. This role is expected to accept applications for a minimum of 5 business days.

  • While the hiring process may vary, it generally includes: resume and application submission, recruiter phone/video screen, hiring manager interview, performance exercise such as live coding, a panel interview, a conversation with leadership and reference checks.

What We Offer
At College Board, we offer more than a paycheck- we provide a meaningful career, a supportive team, and a comprehensive package designed to help you thrive. We're a self-sustaining nonprofit that believes in fair and competitive compensation grounded in your qualifications, experience, impact, and the market.
