Senior Counsel, Energy Transactions at Gridmatic Inc

United States

$185k - $270k

<p><strong>The Role:</strong></p> <p>We are looking to hire our first internal legal counsel at Gridmatic! You will report directly to Gridmatic’s Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). Because Gridmatic does not currently have a General Counsel, you will have a high degree of ownership and responsibility to build out our commercial legal functions. We are looking for an autonomous, startup-minded attorney who is an excellent communicator and can take the reins on drafting, negotiating, and setting up commercial processes from scratch to ensure we scale efficiently and safely.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What you’ll do:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a core set of energy agreements, including renewable and storage power purchase agreements and tolling agreements.</li> <li>Managing relationships with outside counsel.</li> <li>Managing and negotiating trading frameworks including ISDAs and EEIs.</li> <li>Structuring and negotiating retail electric power customer contracts.</li> <li>Establishing and standardizing legal policies, processes, templates, and workflows for a fast-paced environment.</li> <li>Working closely and communicating effectively with commercial colleagues to align legal strategy with company goals.</li> </ul> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>What we're looking for:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Active License:</strong> Must be an active, licensed attorney.</li> <li><strong>Experience Level:</strong> 4 to 10 years of legal experience.</li> <li><strong>Energy Contracting Background:</strong> You must have strong energy contracting experience. You are likely an experienced associate at a law firm with a strong energy practice, or you started your career at such a firm and transitioned in-house to a power company or commodities trader.</li> <li><strong>Autonomy &amp; Communication:</strong> Because this role can be remote and is our first legal hire, you must be highly autonomous, a clear and proactive communicator, and comfortable operating without an existing playbook.</li> </ul> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Nice to haves (but not must-haves):</strong></p> <ul> <li>Energy Regulatory Experience: Familiarity or hands-on experience navigating energy regulatory frameworks (FERC, ISOs, state PUCs, CFTC, etc.) is a strong plus.</li> <li>A diversity of experience applicable to Gridmatic’s ecosystem (energy, trading, investment funds, technology, startups). We recognize it is highly unlikely to find an energy contracting associate with deep experience across <em>all</em> of these fields, so we consider exposure to any combination of these areas a strong bonus rather than a strict requirement.</li> </ul> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Benefits </strong></p> <ul> <li>Continuing Education Opportunities.</li> <li>Flexible PTO.</li> <li>Medical, Dental and Vision plans with competitive employer contributions.</li> <li>Pre-Tax commuter benefits.</li> <li>$1500/year non profit donation matching program through Millie.</li> <li>Home Office Stipend.</li> </ul> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Protecting your future for you and your family:</strong></p> <ul> <li>401K contribution match up to 4%</li> <li>Company-paid parental leave.</li> <li>Company Paid Life Insurance.</li> <li>Stock Option Loan Program.</li> </ul><div class="content-pay-transparency"><div class="pay-input"><div class="title">Pay range </div><div class="pay-range"><span>$185,000</span><span class="divider">&mdash;</span><span>$270,000 USD</span></div></div></div>
