Legal Manager The Position:
The Legal Manager will join the legal action team and ensure projects run smoothly and in alignment with Justice in Motion’s theory of social change and program work goals, with the guidance and under the supervision of the Legal Director. While the initial focus of the position will be implementing legal action program objectives that support access to justice for migrant workers whose rights are violated while working in the U.S., specifically temporary foreign workers under the H-2 visa programs, over time the areas of concentration will shift as needed.
The ideal candidate is a lawyer with at least 3-5 years of experience representing migrant clients in federal employment or civil rights litigation and who is also an effective and proven project manager. Because the Legal Manager will regularly interact with lawyers in the U.S. and with members of the Justice in Motion Defender Network in Mexico and Central America, the candidate we seek must have professional-level Spanish fluency (written and spoken), which will be assessed as the first step of our hiring process.
Note: Justice in Motion does not represent clients directly. This position does not include client representation or direct legal services.
A successful candidate for this position will meet these requirements:
1. An experienced litigator ready to move away from representing clients : This person has a JD or LLM from an accredited law school in the U.S., and at least 3-5 years of experience practicing law in the U.S., including in federal civil litigation on behalf of migrant clients. Relevant experience also includes project management, client representation focusing on employment and civil rights claims, or immigration law practice, including petitions or representation for humanitarian relief. This is someone who has appreciated their time practicing law but is eager to “zoom out” to work on broader issues related to access to justice and migration policy at a project-level.
2. Spanish and English fluency in a professional setting: This person is either a native Spanish speaker, or has significant experience using Spanish professionally, and can communicate across all dimensions (reading, writing, listening, speaking) and who can easily switch back and forth between English and Spanish, picking up nuances accurately, with comprehension consistently nearing 100%.
3. Tech-savvy: This is someone who easily picks up and adapts to new technologies and systems, can quickly figure out their way around a database, and knows how to use video and chat apps to find the best way to connect. Must be great with Excel and Word, GSuite, Adobe Acrobat, and basic document management. Salesforce or a comparable case management database experience is a plus.
4. An organizational whiz. This person loves the administrative side of program implementation- preparing for and handling lots of details and multiple initiatives running in parallel, methodically using task management systems to keep track of projects, and to help their colleagues to know what the priorities are so that deadlines are met.
5. Natural collaborator: This person demonstrates emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and patience, and can work with stakeholders from a variety of cultural backgrounds, with different paradigms and visions for how social change happens.
6. Proactive communicator: This person excels at confirming what’s being requested, checking for understanding, communicating progress regularly, and raising potential issues before they become major problems. They welcome feedback and are oriented toward the larger success of the work, employing patience and finesse to meet people where they are.
7. Patience and adaptability: This is someone who knows people operate in different ways, and takes the time needed to work with each individual, and follows up appropriately. They can adapt to and thrive amidst changing circumstances and have a demonstrated ability to learn new concepts. This person appreciates creative planning and adjusting to meet new needs.
8. Cross-cultural awareness and ability to travel internationally: This is someone who has lived or worked with people from many cultures and within diverse communities and thrives in those environments. They enjoy being able to connect with a wide variety of people, and easily demonstrate curiosity and empathy. As this job will require periodic in-person collaboration building to advance portable justice, the candidate must be willing and able to travel internationally.
Responsibilities: The primary responsibility includes project management supporting Justice in Motion’s collaborative work to ensure portable justice for migrants. Projects address cross-border challenges in the migrant rights and immigration landscape and elevate international collaboration within civil society to advance access to justice for migrants, harnessing the added value of Justice in Motion’s collaborative model and Defender Network in specific cases. This is an important position on a small team and duties may shift over time depending on strategic vision, opportunity, and the legal action team’s composition and capacity.
Specific job responsibilities include: 1. Project Management: Engage in special project implementation and evaluation as needed resulting from successful funding requests. This may include workflow development, program administration, data entry and outcome reporting, narrative writing, case collaboration management, advice and referral services for lawyers based in the U.S. and members of the JiM Defender Network, meeting facilitation, and evaluation.
2. Relationship Management: Initiate and sustain collegial working relationships with members of the Justice in Motion Defender Network in Mexico and Central America and with the Advocates in US and Canada who represent migrants needing JiM Defenders’ assistance.
3. Legal Research and Knowledge Base: Maintain knowledge of civil litigation and procedures specific to representing clients from Mexico and Central America, solutions to cross-border legal issues, temporary foreign work visas, employment and civil rights laws related to migrants in the U.S., immigration law and procedure, US migration and labor policy towards migrants from Mexico and Central America, particularly as it relates to employment and civil rights violations faced by migrants and humanitarian migration benefits for migrants seeking protection. Share knowledge with the team as needed.
4. Legal Training and Writing: Develop and deliver training (virtual and in-person) in Spanish and English to constituencies as needed and draft legal practice and advisory publications in both Spanish and English regarding migrants’ employment and civil rights, immigration, and access to justice.
5. General Support for the Organization: On an as needed basis, participate in JiM’s Policy program initiatives throughout the region related to migrant rights and protection, JiM’s Defender Network program capacity building related to cross-border collaboration serving migrants who need access to justice, and with Communications, Development, and Justice in Motion administration activities.
Details: The Legal Manager is a full-time, exempt position that reports to the Legal Director and begins as soon as possible. This is a union position and will be covered by Justice in Motion’s collective bargaining agreement. Union employees are represented by the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys, UAW Local 2325.
Location and Travel: This is a remote position and can be based anywhere in the U.S., with set work hours aligned with the Eastern Time Zone. This position will require occasional travel to Central America, Mexico and within the U.S.
Salary and Benefits : Salary is based on the scale in the collective bargaining agreement, with a range of $69,200 (step 5) to $81,000 (step 12), depending on experience. Justice in Motion provides a comprehensive benefits package including health care, a retirement plan, and a generous amount of leave.

Its forests are essential to the health of our warming planet, and its lands provide 16% of the world’s food and agriculture exports. Functional ecosystems are the engine of Latin America´s economic growth and play a pivotal role in meeting global demand for food, water and energy. Simply put, there is no place more important for plant and animal diversity, climate regulation and the global economy than Latin America. But Latin America is at a turning point. Climate change, biodiversity loss, alarming deforestation and over exploitation of oceans and watersheds are straining these critical natural systems. This is why The Nature Conservancy is driving systems innovation strategies to mainstream the role of nature in socio-economic sustainable development for the region. Our work in Latin America is projected to significantly contribute to TNC’s 2030 overall goals: they anticipate meeting 50% of TNC’s overall climate goal, 22% of the lands goal, and 25% of the freshwater rivers goal.
The Nature Conservancy works in 9 countries across Latin America. We have the experience, knowledge and partnerships needed to develop, implement, and scale strategies that reconcile sustainable development with conservation. Our science shows us that this decade (2020-2030) offers a window of profound opportunity to change course and achieve a more sustainable future for people and nature.

About the position
Do you have a nose for spotting patterns, an eye for detail, and a knack for juggling several projects at once? If you have a vision for how geospatial science can advance conservation, apply to be the Grand Canyon Trust’s GIS manager.
As our senior GIS analyst, you'll be part of a team finding creative ways to communicate conservation stories to the public, policymakers, and colleagues through maps and data. You will manage projects that directly impact conservation across the Colorado Plateau, help translate science and policy into visuals, and lead our geospatial analysis. You will design, develop, and implement systems and databases to access and store geospatial data for the Trust’s conservation programs. You will also be the primary lead in providing geospatial field support and creating and managing the field data workflow prior to and after data collection.
As glamorous as all that sounds, let's be realistic: To accomplish any of these tasks, you simultaneously need to upload and organize file structures, enter metadata, create new data, process data from many sources, perform repetitive data cleanup and entry, ensure geospatial services are functioning, communicate with Trust program staff, and keep up with technological changes.
If you can spot a data error or misspelling in a sea of labels, transform non-spatial data into spatial data, communicate with non-GIS personnel, and work well in a team setting and independently, then this is the job for you.
What does this position entail?
Brainstorm new ways geospatial sciences can support our conservation work.
Engage in a mix of data organization and database design, project management, analytical processing, and scripting.
Build and customize interactive web content to guide our field and volunteer crews.
Develop scripts and automation to process big data from various states and federal agencies quickly.
Plan workflows and systems for data efficiency, keeping ever-changing datasets current.
Update existing data and maps, such as pronghorn fence modifications , as volunteer crews complete projects on the ground.
Add hikes to our Colorado Plateau Explorer hiking tool.
Map land management and protection proposals across public lands in the Four corner states, including Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments, the greater Grand Canyon region, and national forests.
Do you have what it takes?
You have four years of demonstrated professional GIS experience and/or a degree in geography, GIS, or a comparable field with extensive coursework in GIS.
You are comfortable working in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, Excel, relational databases, and any spatial file types.
You are familiar with Esri Survey 123, Field Maps, mobile map packages, and offline mapping.
You have some experience working with remote sensing and coding languages such as Python, R, and XML and experience with cloud-based data storage, ArcGIS Server, AWS EC2, or similar server architecture.
You understand data hierarchies, the security complexities of cloud-based data storage, and permissions.
You enjoy translating complex scientific and technical information into spatial data.
You can research effectively, process information efficiently, and see a project through from start to finish.
You can communicate clearly and translate industry terminology into nontechnical language for non-GIS professionals.
You're able to juggle many competing tasks and meet deadlines under pressure.
You have a keen eye for detail, experience working with large datasets, and can create order out of what seems like chaos.
You're creative and proactive – you notice inefficiencies and seek ways to solve them.
You have experience or are comfortable working with federal agency data, state data, private data, or data that spans multiple states and jurisdictions.
You have a background in field data collection and methods.
You have experience with ecological, hydrologic, natural resource, and/or cultural data.
You're organized, hardworking, collegial, and good at building colleague relationships.
You have an interest in environmental conservation.
Note that experience includes lived experience, traditional knowledge, volunteer experience, school or coursework, work experience, and other related qualifications, skills, and experience.
No candidate will meet every requirement. If you're excited about the position and think you may be a good candidate, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't check every box.
