Deputy Segment Counsel @ Minerals Tech
About The Position
A global, publicly traded industrial company is seeking a Deputy Segment Counsel to support a ~$1B consumer business segment within a ~$2B revenue organization. The company operates across multiple countries, with products embedded in essential industries and a strong track record of operational performance and long-term growth. This is a highly transactional, hands-on role operating at the center of the business. The Deputy Segment Counsel will lead commercial and strategic legal work, advising on day-to-day operations, contracts, and key initiatives, while partnering closely with business leadership to enable execution and manage risk in real time. The role is based on-site in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, and requires relocation. You will serve as the primary legal counsel for the office, embedded directly with the business and supported by a lean, globally distributed legal team. The ideal candidate brings a strong transactional foundation, comfort operating as a business-facing generalist, and a practical, commercially oriented approach. You are effective in lean environments, capable of owning decisions, and energized by working closely with operators in a global setting. This is a step-up opportunity to operate with real authority inside a publicly traded company — combining $1B segment exposure, lean-team autonomy, and clear upward mobility within a stable, globally scaled organization.
