Job Number:  01-240312-01: Corporate Counsel


Company Name:  Enterprise Mobility

The Corporate Counsel's primary focus will be providing timely and competent day-to-day legal services in support of North American Rental Operations. That focus will allow for close collaboration with corporate, home city, airport rental operations teams, and directly with various operating teams in the field throughout North America. The position will, among other things, provide advice and support at the corporate and local operation level, through contract negotiation, review and drafting, regulatory review, drafting, and compliance, short and long-term legal risk assessment, meaningful partnership and collaboration with the business on strategic legal initiatives, and managing outside counsel.

Additionally, the Corporate Counsel will play an important role in helping the organization navigate the evolving global landscape of ESG and Sustainability related laws, regulations, and requirements. This role allows for the opportunity to work with subject-matter experts throughout the business and become well-versed in and provide guidance regarding a still-emerging area of the law globally.
