About the Role

The Company is seeking a General Counsel to take on a pivotal executive legal leadership role. The successful candidate will be responsible for shaping and executing the legal strategy that underpins the development of digital infrastructure, with a focus on hyperscale data centers. This includes all aspects from land acquisition and construction to leasing, energy procurement, and complex corporate transactions. The General Counsel will also serve as a key advisor to the CEO, Board, and senior leadership team, ensuring the organization operates within strong governance, compliance, and risk management frameworks. The role demands a strategic legal oversight combined with hands-on involvement in high-value commercial deals, particularly in the areas of real estate and infrastructure development. Applicants must have a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school, active bar membership, and a minimum of 10 years' legal experience, with a strong background in corporate law, governance, compliance, and commercial contracting. Proven expertise in real estate transactions and large-scale development projects, ideally within data centers or infrastructure, is essential. The role requires experience in negotiating complex commercial agreements and a strong understanding of energy markets, utility agreements, and regulatory frameworks. The ideal candidate will have the ability to balance legal risk with business strategy in high-growth environments and possess exceptional negotiation, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
