- Draft and edit legal documents, policy statements, position papers, and internal communications
- Analyze legislative bills and assist in developing advocacy strategies and position statements
- Support contract review, negotiation preparation, and real estate transactions
- Assist with compliance program development, regulatory filings, and permit/license tracking
- Help manage corporate governance documentation and entity records
- Collaborate with internal teams and outside counsel on strategic transactions and special projects
- Prepare summaries, presentations, and reports for internal stakeholders
- Organize workflows, maintain documentation, and manage competing priorities with precision
Desired Qualifications:
- JD degree and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar
- 8–15 years of legal experience, including exposure to regulatory, transactional, litigation or compliance matters
- Demonstrated ability to quickly learn and navigate unfamiliar legal and regulatory areas
- Exceptional research, writing, and analytical skills
- Highly organized and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with legal and business teams
- Experience in environmental, infrastructure, or policy-related legal work is a plus
- Passion for sustainability, innovation, and making a meaningful impact
