Job Description:
The Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles is seeking an experienced attorney and strong leader to serve as Agency Legal Counsel.
This is a unique opportunity to lead the legal function of a progressive, high-performing state agency whose work impacts nearly every Nebraskan.
The Nebraska DMV is focused on modernization, efficiency, customer service, accountability, and sound public administration. Our legal counsel plays a critical role in helping the agency navigate complex legal issues, evaluate risk, support major initiatives, interpret legislation, manage contracts, advise on personnel matters, and work collaboratively with other branches and levels of government.
The Agency Legal Counsel serves as the DMV’s chief legal advisor and is a key member of the agency’s leadership team. This position directs the agency’s legal operations, supervises legal staff, advises the Director and senior leadership, and helps ensure the agency carries out its responsibilities in a legally sound, practical, and effective manner.
Requirements
We are looking for an attorney who brings strong legal judgment, a collaborative approach, high professional standards, and the ability to identify solutions —not simply obstacles.
Why Join the Nebraska DMV?
The Nebraska DMV is not standing still.
We are modernizing systems, changing how services are delivered, evaluating new technologies, improving customer service, and continually looking for ways to operate government more effectively.
Those changes create interesting and complex legal issues involving statutory authority, administrative law, contracts, privacy, personnel, technology, legislation, compliance, and relationships with other governmental entities.
The Agency Legal Counsel has an opportunity to be directly involved in those discussions and decisions.
This position is not limited to reviewing documents after decisions have been made. We want our legal counsel engaged early — helping leadership identify risks, understand options, solve problems, and determine how the agency can move forward responsibly.
Our work has a direct impact on the lives of Nebraskans. The DMV’s programs support individual mobility, public safety, commerce, law enforcement, local governments, businesses, and numerous other public and private partners.
