About The Position

The Consumer Protection Division of the Washington State Attorney General’s Office seeks to hire a Team Lead to supervise a team of attorneys, develop and litigate consumer protection cases, and perform management duties within the Division. In this position, you will get the opportunity to lead a team of attorneys serving some of Washington’s most vulnerable communities. While the CP Division’s work is for the benefit of all Washington consumers, much of the Division’s enforcement actions are focused on unlawful business practices that target people of limited means, veterans, the elderly, and immigrants.

This position will be based in downtown Seattle, WA. The AGO provides some flexibility with respect to schedules and telecommuting, consistent with the needs of the Office.
