What you’ll do…

The Assistant General Counsel (AGC) will be a key member of the legal department, supporting the General Counsel and business leadership in structuring, negotiating, documenting, and managing complex energy-sector transactions, including involving utilities, datacenters, power projects, EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contracts and O&M (operations & maintenance) agreements. The role will also be responsible for providing general corporate legal support (corporate governance, commercial contracts, compliance, risk mitigation) as needed. This is an exciting opportunity for a lawyer with significant law-firm experience, comfortable with high-stakes deals, and who enjoys working in a fast-growing environment.

• Datacenter, commercial and industrial resiliency agreements
• Advising business teams (sales and marketing, structuring, operations, business development, commercial, engineering) on legal, regulatory and compliance risks associated with energy projects and transactions.
• Providing general corporate legal support: corporate governance, entity structuring, mergers & acquisitions, capital raises (if any), commercial contracts, vendor agreements, employment/consulting agreements, intellectual property or technology matters, and compliance.
• Serving as internal business partner, providing practical legal guidance, risk assessment, and enabling the business to move quickly while controlling legal exposures.
• Helping build, improve and maintain legal and compliance infrastructure.
• Monitoring and staying current on regulatory and legal developments.
• Additional experience involving debt or equity transactions, M&A, HR or general corporate matters is a plus and will be favorably considered.
• Bring a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach that balances legal precision with commercial agility in a fast-paced, innovative energy environment.

• Excellent drafting, negotiation and communication skills; able to confidently work with senior executives and business stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively, make sound judgments, provide practical legal advice rather than just theoretical.
• Additional experience involving debt or equity transactions, M&A, HR or general corporate matters is a plus and will be favorably considered.
