Job description

While Massachusetts' students rank first in the nation on many educational measures, the Executive Office of Education strives to strengthen the foundations of education reform, empower schools and educators, and develop pathways to college and careers so all students in the Commonwealth can succeed, regardless of their zip code.

The Executive Office of Education (EOE) is committed to equity and valuing the unique and diverse characteristics and experiences of every member of its workforce. We encourage an authentic workplace where colleagues show up as their full selves, and collaboration, innovation, and connections are key to realizing our mission that all children, youth, and families thrive socially, academically, and economically.

About the Role

The General Counsel serves as a member of Senior Staff to provide legal guidance and support for all matters related to EOE's functions. The General Counsel supports the Secretary of Education and EOE Senior Staff in the development and coordination of education policy, and provides verbal and written legal advice, as necessary.

The General Counsel also serves as the primary legal liaison to the Governor's Legal Office and coordinates with legal and policy staff of EOE's agencies : the Department of Early Education and Care, Children’s Trust, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and the Department of Higher Education.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Ensuring EOE’s compliance with all statutory and legal obligations, including those related to personnel and procurement.
  • Overseeing EOE’s response to public records requests.
  • Serving as the liaison to the General Counsels of EOE’s constituent agencies (the Department of Higher Education, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and the Department of Early Education and Care), the Governor’s Office of Legal Counsel, and the Attorney General’s Office.
  • Overseeing and coordinating EOE’s response to any litigation or other legal or administrative action.
  • Providing high-level legal recommendations to the Secretary, Boards, and senior leadership team on matters of education policy, competency determination, procurement and contracts, litigation strategy and management, and legal duties with respect to data privacy and public records.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Admitted to the Massachusetts Bar as a member in good standing and eligible to practice law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
  • Excellent legal research and writing skills.
  • Understanding of the laws, policies, and procedures of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
  • Experience in education, law, and policy.
