About the Role

The Company is seeking a Senior Counsel for Commercial Transactions to join its dynamic legal team. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in guiding commercial and project transactions, from the initial structuring to financial close. This position demands a strategic advisor with a strong commercial mindset, capable of leading diligence and closing processes with external partners. The Senior Counsel will be responsible for drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a variety of key project and commercial documents, and must have a proven track record in deal execution, including the ability to balance multiple, competing priorities. Collaboration with internal teams and external partners is essential, as is the ability to provide clear, pragmatic legal advice that aligns with the company's strategic goals. Applicants for the Senior Counsel position should have a Juris Doctor from an accredited law school, an active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction, and approximately 8 years' of transactional experience. The role requires a candidate with a strong legal foundation, document drafting expertise, and commercial judgment.

The ideal candidate will be a collaborative and effective communicator, with the ability to work across diverse teams. This is an opportunity to be part of a purpose-driven company in the clean energy sector, where legal expertise directly contributes to the advancement of the clean energy transition.
