About the Role
Nightingale College is looking for a Director, Legal to lead the day-to-day execution of our in-house legal function. Working under the strategic direction of the Assistant Vice President of Legal and Compliance, you'll take ownership of legal matters from intake through resolution — providing practical, risk-informed guidance to institutional leadership, directing outside counsel, and building the processes and infrastructure that let our legal function scale alongside our growth.
This role calls for someone who thrives on independent judgment: you'll manage a portfolio of active legal matters, know when to solve something yourself and when to escalate, and bring clarity and structure to a legal function that touches nearly every part of the institution — from contracts to compliance to legislative affairs.
