Durham, United States Self-Help Credit Union Full time

WHO We Are:

Self-Help started in 1980 with a focus on economic inequality especially in communities that have faced systemic barriers in building wealth. At the core of what Self-Help does is a drive to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity. In other words, we’re committed to economic justice Economic Justice means that all communities have the basic infrastructure they need to thrive, from high quality schools to grocery stores selling fresh foods resources that support opportunity at a neighborhood level regardless of demographics, income, or wealth. Since our founding, we’ve constantly sought to find new ways to pursue greater economic justice: from providing fair and affordable loans, to working with partners to demand that lawmakers change unjust policies.

We are seeking a n Assistant General Counsel to join our Legal Team in Durham, NC

Other transactions may include financing transactions for direct investments in qualified projects that support greenhouse gas reduction technologies and goals. The work will primarily be transactional, and will also require careful analysis, interpretation, and implementation of EPA regulations and grant agreements. Provide guidance on general corporate governance matters, including developing and implementing internal compliance policies, developing materials to ensure good corporate governance, advising on procurement requirements, and advising on general ethics and compliance issues. Provide legal support to other teams within Self-Help as needed, based on the needs of the team and the interest of the successful candidate. Act as a change agent to drive Self-Help’s economic inclusion initiatives by integrating supplier diversity and the use of businesses owned by women and people of color in third party contracting and vendor management for relevant products and services. Perform other duties as may be deemed necessary.
