General Counsel

This mid-level General Counsel opening at Cisco suits someone who'd rather master Corporate Governance than coast on 5 of habit. Reduce it to essentials and you have $64,000 - $85,000, a VA General Counsel seat, 3 years asked, and a clear climb ahead.

Key Responsibilities

• Spot where GDPR Compliance breaks before it shows up in a dashboard
• Bridge Paralegal Certification and Written Communication so neither team works in the dark
• Anticipate the VA compliance wrinkle before it becomes a fire
• Make peace with empathy-led ambiguity and ship anyway
• Meet established deadlines while upholding Cisco quality standards
• Keep mid-level expectations grounded in what the hybrid role can deliver
• Absorb 5 of context fast and start contributing sooner
• Write the Contract Lifecycle Management runbook the next hire wishes they had

What You'll Bring

• Resilience measured across 3 years of general cycles
• The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
• 5+ years of Contract Lifecycle Management reps, not just Contract Lifecycle Management exposure
• Hands-on Written Communication experience that survives a whiteboard interview
• A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam

Cisco is the mission-driven Hampton, VA company that general insiders recommend but rarely the one that advertises. We value clear writing and honest conversation over status games and politics.

This mid-level role pays $64,000 - $85,000 and comes with structured mentorship designed to sharpen your Corporate Governance and Bluebook over time.

This role is in active recruitment, with a target start date just ahead.
