• Attend and serve as legal advisor at meetings of the Board of County Commissioners and various boards, committees, and advisory boards.
• Assist in negotiating and implementing complex governmental initiatives and transactions; and
• Work collaboratively with County Administration and County departments to lawfully implement the policy directives of the Board of County Commissioners.
The successful candidate will possess exceptional legal research, writing, analytical, negotiation, and interpersonal skills; exercise sound judgment; communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders; and thrive in a collaborative, client-service-oriented environment dedicated to excellence in public service.
