The Law is our license to operate.
In a world fractured by conflict and strangled by sanctions, delivering humanitarian aid is a legal tightrope walk. CARE International is seeking a General Counsel to be the architect of our safety net.
As the General Counsel, you are not just the top lawyer for one of the world's largest NGOs; you are a strategic partner to the Secretary-General and the Board. You will navigate a complex web of International Humanitarian Law, Counter-Terrorism Legislation, and Corporate Governance to ensure CARE can continue its mission: saving lives and defeating poverty.
If you are a seasoned legal executive who can balance strict compliance with the "imperative to act," this is your opportunity to lead at the highest level.
