Our customer is seeking an experienced Associate General Counsel (Energy) on a contract basis to support a variety of corporate legal functions. This opportunity is 100% remote and offers the chance to work with one of the world's leading technology organizations!

About the Opportunity:

The Mom Project is seeking an experienced Energy Attorney to provide contract legal support to the Energy Legal team of a leading global technology company. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional legal, energy, and infrastructure teams to support complex energy transactions and procurement initiatives. You will play a key role in securing reliable energy solutions for new and existing data centers, negotiating energy-related agreements, and advising on regulatory and infrastructure matters. This opportunity offers the chance to contribute to large-scale energy projects and renewable energy initiatives that support the organization's long-term sustainability and net-zero emissions goals.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with the Energy Team to secure the essential energy infrastructure for a growing data center portfolio. This includes drafting and negotiating agreements with utilities, generation providers, and energy transmission operators to expand their infrastructure to support data center energy demands.
• Support the procurement of clean and renewable energy for data centers. Given the geographic variety of the data center portfolio, you’ll work with various energy suppliers, including regulated and deregulated utilities, energy co-ops, and other providers. These supply arrangements range from basic to “sleeved” and other highly structured energy supply arrangements, including developing new tariffs and programs.
• Provide in-house legal support for monitoring and participation in utility regulatory proceedings that affect energy supply, infrastructure, and energy policy goals. This includes supporting regulatory matters impacting energy access across North America, such as rate cases, rulemakings, and resource planning proceedings.
• Support the Clean & Renewable Energy (CaRE) Team with clean energy procurement, including negotiating PPAs and sleeved PPAs, environmental attribute purchase agreements, and energy storage agreements.
• Support the Energy Strategy Team on transactions focused on promoting new clean energy and carbon reduction and capture technologies.
• Help the Energy Contract Management Team with daily needs related to the portfolio of clean energy and carbon credit agreements.
• Identify issues and seek guidance from other subject matter experts (e.g., regulatory experts, risk management, finance, tax, etc.).

What We're Looking For:

• J.D. and active bar membership
• 8+ years of experience as a practicing attorney structuring, drafting, and negotiating energy or carbon transactions.
• Active membership in at least one U.S. state bar and eligibility to obtain registered in-house counsel status (if required by the State Bar in the assigned work location).
• Demonstrated drafting and negotiating skills.
• Solid business judgment and experience thinking strategically.
• Demonstrated experience prioritizing and managing multiple projects under tight deadlines.
• Effective interpersonal and communication skills, with a commitment to professionalism, collaboration, and collegiality.

Preferred Experience:

• Experience structuring, drafting, and negotiating a wide range of energy and carbon transactions, including sleeved green energy supply arrangements, tariffs for industrial energy consumers (e.g., data centers, manufacturing, and similar projects), PPAs, environmental attribute purchase agreements, sleeved PPAs, and energy storage agreements.
• Experience monitoring or participating in ratemaking and resource planning proceedings before public utilities commissions.
• Experience working at or with a technology company.
• Familiarity with various regulatory regimes that affect energy and commodities transactions.

Ideal Candidates Have Experience Supporting:

• Global technology companies
• Cross-functional business teams
• High-volume, fast-paced legal environments
