Description & Details
The Director of the Center for Business Law and Leadership within Lewis & Clark Law School is a half-time (.5 FTE) position for a 1 year term (with benefits), with the possibility of a future term extension and expansion to FTE, if funding is secured. The position reports directly to the Faculty Director of the Center for Business Law and Leadership. This role is primarily responsible for increasing visibility, engagement, and financial support for the Center by cultivating relationships with alumni, law firms, business leaders, foundations, and community partners, while coordinating and supporting the Innovation Board’s philanthropic and outreach efforts. The ideal candidate will possess an entrepreneurial mindset, experience in fundraising or external relations, and familiarity with the Oregon business and legal community.

By combining hands-on experience, classroom learning, and mentorship from business leaders, we help students turn their legal training into a launchpad for building, scaling, and guiding organizations that create lasting value across industries and communities. The CBLL Innovation Board, comprised of business legal leaders, builds the connections with the business community and the law school.,
