Your Mission

We are seeking an experienced, strategic, and dynamic General Counsel to serve as a key member of our executive leadership team. You will be responsible for leading our global legal, compliance, regulatory affairs, and corporate governance functions. Your primary mission is to lead and successfully execute our planned US public listing and, in the process, build a world-class legal and risk management framework capable of supporting our global scale and growth.

Key Responsibilities

1. Capital Strategy and IPO Execution (Primary Focus)

  • Lead the US IPO Process : Take full ownership of all legal aspects of the company's Initial Public Offering (IPO) on a US stock exchange (e.g., NYSE or NASDAQ).
  • Strategic Advisor : Act as the chief legal advisor to the executive team and Board of Directors on all IPO-related matters, including structure, timeline, compliance, and risk.
  • External Counsel Management : Lead, coordinate, and manage relationships with external legal counsel, underwriters, auditors, and other advisors involved in the IPO.
  • Document Drafting and Review : Oversee and deeply engage in the preparation, review, and finalization of all IPO-related legal documents, including the registration statement (F-1), governance charters, and more.
  • Ensure Compliance : Ensure the company's full compliance with all SEC and other relevant regulatory requirements before, during, and after the public listing.

2. Legal and Compliance Leadership

  • Corporate Governance : Establish and maintain robust corporate governance standards for a public company, supporting the Board of Directors and its committees (Audit, Compensation, Nominating & Governance).
  • Compliance Framework : Build and enhance a global compliance program covering anti-corruption (FCPA), antitrust, trade compliance, data privacy & security (GDPR, CCPA), and export controls.
  • M&A and Financing : Lead legal due diligence, structuring, negotiation, and execution for strategic investments, financing rounds, joint ventures, and M&A transactions.
  • Commercial Contracts : Guide the team in reviewing and negotiating complex commercial agreements, including global strategic partnerships, major sales and procurement contracts, and technology licensing agreements.
  • IP Strategy : Work closely with the technology team to develop and implement a global intellectual property strategy, managing patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
  • Dispute Resolution : Manage significant litigation, arbitration, and other dispute resolution proceedings.
  • 3. Team Management and Strategic Collaboration

  • Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing global legal team.
  • Act as a key member of the executive team, actively participating in strategic decision-making and providing proactive legal and risk counsel.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional departments (Finance, HR, Business Development, R&D) to support overall business objectives.
  • Qualifications

    Mandatory Requirements :

  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) or equivalent law degree from a recognized law school in the US, China, or other common law jurisdiction, with active bar membership in good standing.
  • A minimum of 15 years of legal experience, including a senior role at a top-tier law firm or as in-house counsel at a high-growth multinational technology company.
  • Must have a proven track record of leading at least one company through a complete US IPO process and deep familiarity with post-IPO ongoing compliance obligations.
  • Extensive expertise in US securities laws, Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), and stock exchange listing rules.
  • Demonstrated excellence in corporate governance, M&A, complex commercial negotiations, and compliance management within a multinational context.
  • Outstanding communication, negotiation, and leadership skills in both English and Mandarin Chinese, with the ability to effectively liaise with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Exceptional business acumen and strategic thinking, with the ability to translate complex legal issues into practical business solutions.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth technology environment, demonstrating adaptability and resilience.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Prior in-house experience within the green tech, renewable energy, IoT, or SaaS industries.
  • Experience handling complex cross-border data privacy and regulatory matters.
  • Proven experience in building and leading a distributed, global legal team.
  • We Offer

  • A unique opportunity to define and lead the future of the global green tech industry.
  • A senior executive role at the core of the company's most critical historical moment.
  • A highly competitive compensation and benefits package, including a significant equity component.
  • The opportunity to work with a world-class executive team and Board of Directors.
  • An open, innovative, and mission-driven work culture.
