General Counsel

About the Role

Step into a General Counsel role at KPMG where Bluebook isn't a checkbox but the whole point, in Bakersfield, CA. This is a part-time opportunity built for someone who wants to own outcomes, sharpen Due Diligence, and grow with a tight-knit team.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide hands-on support to colleagues and KPMG clients as needed
• Balance independent work with effective part-time team collaboration
• Hold the line on quality when deadlines start whispering shortcuts
• Use Due Diligence to streamline routine tasks and free up capacity
• Document the why, not just the what, behind every Accountability decision
• Carry the Criminal Law thread across three time zones and two tools
• Read between the lines of what Bakersfield customers actually need
• Chase down the root cause instead of slapping on a patch

What You'll Bring

• Roughly 4+ years operating in a similar General Counsel position
• Proven track record delivering results as a mid-level General Counsel
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
• An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
• Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
• A Bakersfield grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly

Most of KPMG still fits in one Bakersfield building, and that craft-focused closeness is exactly why its general work stays sharp. Trust is the default setting at KPMG; you have to actively spend it to lose it.

We combine $72,000 - $101,000 with flexible remote work, paid volunteer days, and clear opportunities for advancement.

This role is being actively staffed, with offers expected before the quarter closes.
