From Environmental Science Associates's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Environmental Science Associates (ESA) is a 100% employee-owned environmental consulting firm. We plan, design, permit, mitigate, and restore for projects across our communities, infrastructure systems, open spaces, and wildlands. We are 50 years strong in 21 offices across California, the Pacific Northwest, and the Southeastern United States.
Environmental Science Associates (ESA) is seeking an experienced
Senior Counsel, Legal & Enterprise Risk to lead and continuously strengthen our firmwide approach to contractual, operational, employment, and enterprise risk. The ideal candidate shall have a combination of legal and contractual expertise, business judgment, emotional intelligence, and the ability to influence leaders across a complex professional services organization.
This is a highly visible, collaborative position working directly with the Chief Operating Officer and senior leadership, while partnering extensively with Human Resources, Finance, project and regional leadership, and other corporate functions. You will lead ESA's proactive risk management program while serving as a trusted resource on complex contracts, employment-related risks, project delivery, business transactions, and emerging organizational issues. The right person will be able to move comfortably between detailed contract
negotiations, sensitive employee matters, project risk, and executive-level discussions. Just as importantly, you will help leaders understand not simply what the risk is, but what ESA can reasonably do about it. The ideal candidate shall be based in either Los Angeles, CA, and/or San Francisco, CA, and be able to work a hybrid schedule.
Within your first year, you will build strong partnerships across Operations, HR, Finance, regional leadership, and executive management while strengthening ESA's approach to contractual, employment, project, and enterprise risk.
Success will include improving the consistency and efficiency of contract review and escalation; establishing clear protocols for higher-risk employment matters; increasing visibility into significant projects, contracts, claims, and organizational risks; strengthening coordination with outside counsel; and delivering practical training for Project Managers and leaders.
Most importantly, you will help ESA move toward a more proactive approach to risk—identifying recurring sources of exposure and implementing preventative solutions while balancing legal protection, employee considerations, client relationships, financial performance, and ESA's business objectives.
ESA has established multiple pay ranges tailored to the economic factors in the geographies in which ESA staff reside. For this position, the range is approximately as listed based on our anticipated hiring locations as noted in the above job details. Actual compensation is determined by several factors including but not limited to an individual’s related experience, education, skills, and the city in which the applicant lives.
