About the Role

The Company is seeking a Vice President, Deputy General Counsel, Energy to lead energy-related legal work and negotiate commercial agreements across the business. Responsibilities include securing power through electric service, interconnection, transmission, and procurement agreements; guiding regulatory strategy; and advising on on-site and bridge generation. The role also supports customer agreements, site and financing diligence, and the allocation of power-related risks. In partnership with legal leadership, the successful candidate will build legal-function infrastructure, manage outside counsel, and help develop the legal team. Candidates must hold a J.D. from an accredited law school, be admitted and in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar, and have 15–20 years of relevant legal experience; candidates with 10 or more years and exceptional depth may be considered. Deep, hands-on experience owning energy transactions and regulatory matters—including interconnection, electric service, and power purchase agreements—is required, along with strong knowledge of U.S. power markets, regulatory practice, and large-load tariffs. The role also calls for broad commercial negotiation, drafting, sound business judgment, and the ability to work autonomously in a fast-moving environment. Experience with energy-intensive development, generation, project finance, or building legal processes is preferred.
