About Range Energy

Range Energy builds powered trailers that help electrify heavy-duty trucking without requiring fleets to replace their tractors. We solve real-world problems with real hardware.

We move fast, take ownership, and hold a high bar for execution. We value people who are low ego and team-first, calm under pressure, direct and respectful communicators, willing to roll up their sleeves, and focused on solutions, not drama.

We operate with high integrity. We do what we say we’ll do, we’re transparent about risks and tradeoffs, and we build trust through consistent follow-through.

The work is hands-on. Sometimes messy. Often fast. Always meaningful.

Founded in 2021, Range is led by experienced EV operators from Tesla, Zoox, Honda, and other leading OEMs. We are backed by strong investors and focused on building hardware that fleets will actually use.

If you like building real things, solving hard problems, and working with low drama, high output teammates, you will fit here. Role Summary  

Range Energy is seeking a Senior Legal Operations Manager & Corporate Paralegal to help build and manage the systems, processes, and records that support our legal function as the company enters its next stage of growth.

Reporting to the General Counsel and Chief Strategy Officer, you will serve as the operational backbone of the legal department. You will support corporate governance, transactions, securities compliance, contract administration, entity management, diligence, Board processes, and outside counsel management.

This is not a narrow or highly specialized paralegal role. You will work across the company, coordinate complex legal workstreams, improve how legal work gets done, and take ownership of projects that might otherwise be handled by outside counsel. You should be comfortable moving between detailed administrative work, transaction management, legal technology, and cross-functional coordination.

Initially, the role will include significant support for capital markets, public-company readiness, corporate governance, and transaction-related work. The role will also serve as Range’s primary contract administrator, supporting the intake, tracking, execution, storage, and renewal of commercial agreements.

• Coordinate Delaware filings, foreign qualifications, annual reports, registered-agent matters, and business licenses
