Mission
The King County Bar Association promotes and supports a diverse and collegial membership; works with the judiciary to achieve excellence, equity, and accessibility in the administration of justice; and benefits the community through public service and engagement in public policy.
The Housing Justice Project (HJP) is a homelessness prevention program of the King County Bar providing accessible legal services to low-income, residential tenants facing eviction primarily in King and Spokane County. Legal assistance is provided through counsel and advice, negotiated settlements, and representation at Show Cause hearings and trial. HJP also engages in systemic reform through appellate and public policy advocacy on the local and state levels.
As we continue to expand our operations, we are seeking a highly skilled and experienced attorney to join our dynamic team as the Senior Managing Attorney.
Position Mission: The Senior Managing Attorney will play a crucial role in the strategic vision, planning, execution, and management of all operational activities. Job requirements include streamlining processes, enhancing efficiency, and driving continuous improvement initiatives to support HJP’s team and assist as HJP grows. This position will be responsible for overseeing all legal and policy aspects of the organization to ensure smooth functioning and efficient delivery of services. In addition to being a key leader within KCBA, the Senior Managing Attorney will collaborate closely with all HJP staff to drive organizational effectiveness and foster a positive work environment. With significant growth in staffing and capacity in recent years, efforts are underway to transition the Housing Justice Project to become an independent 501(c)(3) organization. The person in this position will work with the KCBA/HJP transition team toward this goal with the expectation of being a co-director of the new entity.
