Why you’ll love this position: The Department of Social Services partners with families and communities to protect children, rehabilitate youth, and move families to self-sufficiency so that Missourians can lead safe, healthy and productive lives.

Responsibilities - What you’ll do

What you’ll do:

The Chief Counsel of IT and Procurement acts as the principal legal architect, strategist, and executive advisor for the Department of Social Services (DSS) digital infrastructure, commercial portfolios, and financial operations. Operating at the intersection of agency finance and technology, this position reports directly to the Department General Counsel with a dotted line to Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO).

The mandate for this role is clear: proactively mitigate enterprise risk, safeguard state and federal funding architectures, and streamline complex technology and procurement systems so the department can safely scale programs that protect families, youth, and communities across Missouri.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Sourcing, Technology and Procurement

Commercial Architecture: Structure, review, and negotiate high-impact Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), and enterprise-level vendor contracts to ensure total legal sufficiency and risk mitigation.
Contract Protest Defense: Act as the lead legal authority on formal contract awards; defend the department against vendor protests, formulate protest response strategies, and represent the agency in administrative appeals or related litigation stemming from procurement disputes.
IT & Data Governance: Serve as the legal lead on data management strategies, software licensing, and technical system procurement, ensuring robust guardrails around data security and operational continuity.
Process Engineering: Modernize contract workflows, designing scalable playbooks and legal structures that allow the CFO and CIO to execute programs rapidly without compromising compliance.

Regulatory Compliance and Financial Advocacy

Federal & State Interpretation: Analyze, interpret, and implement highly complex federal regulations and state rulemaking to ensure program parameters are unassailable.
Audit Defensibility: Lead the legal response, risk assessment, and defense strategies for complex state, federal, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits or formal requests for information.
Cross-Functional Advisory: Provide highly polished, rapid-response verbal and written legal opinions to departmental leadership to isolate exposures and bypass administrative obstacles.

Executive Leadership and Case Management

Dual-Report Alignment: Act as the core legal bridge between the finance and IT divisions, ensuring a unified agency stance on technical infrastructure investments, personnel, and financial allocations.
Caseload Optimization: Manage a diverse, complex portfolio of administrative, financial, and regulatory issues with razor-sharp time management and organizational efficiency.

Qualifications - All you need for success Minimum Qualifications:

Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited institution.
Active membership and good standing with The Missouri Bar.
Five (5) or more years of post-bar experience practicing as a licensed attorney.

Preferred Qualifications:

Executive Agility: Prior experience practicing as an in-house counsel, deputy general counsel, or a senior special counsel role within a large state or federal agency (DSS or related health/human services background is highly prized).
Administrative & Litigation Depth: A proven background navigating administrative law, public benefit structures, contract/procurement disputes, and administrative litigation.
Technical & Financial Literacy: A strong understanding of modern data management practices, digital transformations, and the specific legal nuances of technical/IT purchasing and public appropriations.
Core Competencies: Elite legal research, writing, and advocacy skills; a high degree of professional integrity to handle sensitive personnel issues; and an adaptive, collaborative spirit when working with support staff and core legal teams.

Lack of post‐secondary education will not be used as the sole basis denying consideration to any applicant.
