The Role

T1 Energy is looking to hire a Legal & Policy Administrator to support our Chief Legal & Policy Officer and the broader Legal & Policy team. This is an operational and administrative role, not a substantive legal one, for someone who thrives on bringing order to a complex, fast-moving function and takes genuine pride in keeping senior leaders organized, efficient, and focused on the work that matters most.

The Legal & Policy team at T1 touches everything: commercial contracts, litigation, compliance, trade, regulatory, and government affairs. You'll be the person who makes sure it all stays organized, on track, and moving. If you've worked in a corporate legal department or law firm, know how to manage a demanding executive's calendar and a high-volume matter list at the same time, and handle sensitive information like it's second nature, this role was built for you.

What You'll Do

Legal & Department Administration

• Provide day-to-day administrative support to the Chief Legal & Policy Officer and the Legal & Policy team, including calendar management, scheduling, travel, and correspondence.

Who You Are

• Proactive and self-directed: you anticipate what needs to happen next rather than waiting to be told.
• Discreet and trustworthy: you handle confidential, sensitive, and privileged information with professionalism and sound judgement.
