Brooklyn, New York, United States JCCA Full time $100,000 - $140,000 per year

Position Summary

At JCCA (Jewish Child Care Association), we provide comprehensive services to New York's most vulnerable children and families, helping them heal, develop, and thrive. With deep roots in social justice and a values-driven mission, we work at the intersection of compassion and excellence—offering trauma-informed care, education, mental health support, and residential services.

We are currently seeking a proactive, skilled, and mission-aligned Assistant General Counsel to join our Legal team. This is an exciting opportunity to support the legal and compliance needs of a dynamic and complex organization making a real difference in the lives of children and families.

The Assistant General Counsel, will work closely with the General Counsel and a small, dedicated legal team to provide legal guidance across all areas of JCCA's operations. While this role touches a broad range of legal matters—including employment, compliance, real estate, and nonprofit governance—the primary focus will be on contract administration: reviewing, drafting, negotiating, and ensuring contracts align with our organizational goals and mitigate legal risk.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a legal professional who thrives in a mission-driven environment and enjoys the breadth and complexity of in-house counsel work.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review, draft, and negotiate contracts across a wide range of areas: consulting, technology, real estate, construction, fundraising, grants, and more
  • Assess contracts for legal and business risk, ensuring alignment with agency goals and regulatory obligations
  • Provide legal guidance on nonprofit governance, tax compliance, fundraising, and regulatory matters related to child welfare and healthcare
  • Support multiple departments—including HR, Finance, IT, Development, and Programs—with practical legal advice and issue spotting
  • Assist in the development of training, templates, and tools to promote legal best practices across the agency
  • Monitor and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws applicable to nonprofit and human services organizations
  • Collaborate with senior leadership and cross-functional teams on legally sound strategies and risk management
  • Conduct legal research and draft memoranda as needed
  • Stay up to date on legal developments in child welfare and nonprofit law
  • Perform other legal duties as assigned

Qualifications:

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school
  • Admission to the New York State Bar
  • Minimum 5 years of legal experience, ideally in a law firm or in-house counsel role
  • Significant experience with contract law and proven ability to manage the full contract lifecycle
  • Exposure to or interest in nonprofit, public-sector, or healthcare-related legal work
  • Understanding of nonprofit legal frameworks: governance, IRS regulations, charitable solicitation laws
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills—able to explain legal concepts clearly to non-legal colleagues
  • Strong project management and organizational skills
  • Ability to juggle competing priorities and work under deadlines
  • Collaborative spirit and a deep commitment to JCCA's mission and values
