Join our mission to deliver global healing:
The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit research and educational organization that develops medical, legal, and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics and marijuana. Research indicates that psychedelics have the potential to be a breakthrough in treating PTSD, depression, addiction, and other conditions.
MAPS has worked for over 37 years toward paving the way for the education and legalization of such breakthrough medicines. MAPS is committed to bringing these healing modalities to the world and providing them in such a way that communities that most need mental health resources have access to them. This shift has the potential to unlock previously unavailable resources for the investigation of psychedelic-assisted treatments applied to our most critical mental health challenges. The Contracts & Legal Policy Manager plays a pivotal role in the functionality of the Legal Department by supporting the General Counsel in overseeing the legal, compliance, and risk management functions for MAPS.
How you can help deliver global healing:
MAPS is seeking an experienced and skilled Contracts & Legal Manager. We are a dispersed workforce of full-time employees in a remote work environment. The General Counsel is located in California.
Reporting to the General Counsel, the Contracts & Legal Manager will oversee the contracts process, project manage a variety of complex legal matters, and provide general support to the legal function.
This important work requires a special candidate who shares MAPS’ vision and embraces our mission to develop medical, legal, and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics and marijuana.
