ABOUT THE ROLE:

The role also serves as Corporate Secretary, supporting Teague's governance and Board-level responsibilities.

You’re comfortable operating independently, navigating sensitive matters with tact, and knowing when to lean in, when to challenge an approach, and when to bring in additional expertise.
You are a trusted partner who builds strong relationships across an organization, from executive leadership and the Board to HR, Finance, Operations, Business Development, and project teams. You’re proactive and curious, looking beyond today’s legal needs to anticipate emerging risks and opportunities, modernize how legal support is delivered, and help the business evolve responsibly.
