About the Role

The Company is seeking a General Counsel to provide strategic legal support for its building solutions business. The successful candidate will be responsible for a wide range of legal matters, both in the Americas region and globally, to protect the company's interests and ensure compliance with laws, regulations, and internal policies. This role involves providing legal advice, negotiating contracts, managing legal disputes, and driving compliance initiatives. The General Counsel will also lead a team of attorneys and work closely with regional legal teams to maintain best practices and seamless legal support across the organization. Applicants must have a Juris Doctor (JD) degree and at least 10 years of legal experience, with a preference for a mix of in-house and law firm experience. The role requires expertise in litigation, commercial dispute resolution, and managing legal risks and compliance matters. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in drafting and negotiating complex contracts, and experience in areas such as public-private partnerships, government contracts, and energy-related agreements. Strong leadership, communication, and management skills are essential, as is the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities. The General Counsel will be instrumental in supporting the company's growth initiatives and M&A activities, and must be adept at driving the evolution of standard processes and negotiation strategies in a global, matrixed organization.
