Opportunity Snapshot

You'll help shape this visible role as you showcase your organizational and intellectual skills to become an integral component of a small but high performing legal department. In addition to paralegal-level responsibilities for a publicly traded company, you will also handle administrative support for the Company's Chief Legal Officer and corporate counsel.

Our legal department is going through a structural transition requiring a high level of intelligence, capability, initiative and skill sets. You will need to "wear many hats" as you interact with diverse stakeholders in a variety of roles, exuding the right balance of "high polish and common sense," while projecting a delicate and diplomatic mix of discretion and integrity. Of course, you'll be adept at dealing with the inherent sensitivities of confidential legal information and the demanding requirements of a competitive, fast-paced small legal department requiring cooperation and sharing of work responsibilities with other department staff members. Interpersonal skills are a critical component of the position.

Most likely you know Autobytel, but what you might not know is that we pioneered the concept of the online automotive marketplace, and are now one of the largest and most trusted automotive commerce and information companies in the world. We are poised for increased growth with the release of our next-generation product, MyRide.com, which we anticipate will greatly expand our industry advantage.
