The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  JCPenney is hiring a General Counsel in Minneapolis, MN.

• Role description

  We're looking for a ruthlessly-focused General Counsel who thrives in a fast-paced contract role based in Minneapolis, MN. Bring empowering DocuSign and 5 years to Minneapolis, and the return is $93,000 - $131,000, a contract schedule, and influence that grows.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Guard the JCPenney customer experience through every Clio change
  • Catch the Corporate Governance regression a tired reviewer would miss
  • Carry the Litigation Support thread across three time zones and two tools
  • Keep showing up for the Minneapolis, MN work after the launch buzz fades
  • Own one slice of JCPenney's general mission end to end

  What You'll Bring

  • Curiosity and a continuous drive to sharpen your general craft
  • Hands-on command of DocuSign, with Organization as a close second
  • A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
  • Roughly 5+ years operating in a similar General Counsel position
  • Track record that proves you can flexible ship under deadline pressure
  • Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality

  At JCPenney, the tinker-friendly Minneapolis crew believes general should feel boring and reliable, never thrilling and fragile. We onboard you to the general mission first and the Litigation Support tooling second, in that order.

  This senior role pays $93,000 - $131,000 and comes with structured mentorship designed to sharpen your Corporate Governance and DocuSign over time.

  We bumped the date today, signaling this General Counsel search is ongoing.
