Responsibilities

- Development and joint venture agreements
- Support project financing processes (debt, tax equity, and M&A), working closely with external counsel and internal stakeholders
- Manage and coordinate external law firms across financing, M&A, and specialist matters
- Provide strategic legal input on risk allocation, contract structuring, and project execution
- Establish and refine internal legal processes as the business scales
- Advise on general corporate, compliance, and governance matters
Qualifications
- J.D. from an accredited law school and admission to at least one U.S. state bar
- 5–10+ years of legal experience, ideally a mix of top‑tier law firm and/or in‑house experience
- Strong background in renewable energy project development (solar, wind, and/or storage)
- Demonstrated experience negotiating EPC, O&M, and broader project development agreements
- Familiarity with project financing structures (tax equity, debt financing, M&A transactions)
- Experience managing external counsel and operating as a key legal stakeholder within a lean team
- Highly commercial, pragmatic, and comfortable operating as a standalone legal resource
Why Join Nexus Renewable Power
- Opportunity to take ownership of the legal function at a high‑growth platform
- Direct exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision‑making
- Strong pipeline of projects with near‑term execution and long‑term growth
- Broad, hands‑on role across the full project lifecycle
