## Your Role as Senior Counsel – Project Finance & Commercial

We are seeking a Senior Counsel with significant project finance experience to lead financing for our renewable energy, battery storage, and data center infrastructure projects. This is a fast-paced, high-volume position that requires managing multiple active transactions at the same time, working independently, and engaging commercially with lenders, investors, and internal business teams. The ideal candidate is more than a strong lawyer—they are a pragmatic problem-solver who moves quickly, communicates clearly, and keeps every deal on track.

## Your Mission

### Project Finance
– Lead end-to-end legal structuring and negotiation of project finance transactions, including construction loans, term debt, tax equity, back-leverage facilities, and permanent financing for battery storage, renewable energy, and data center projects.
– Draft and negotiate credit agreements, security packages, depositary and account agreements, consent and assignment agreements, and all related financing documents for lenders, tax equity investors, and institutional counterparties.
– Advise on financing structures for build-own-operate (BOO) projects, including collateral structures, security interests, and intercreditor arrangements.
– Manage lender due diligence processes and coordinate with lenders’ counsel through financial close.
– Advise on IRA tax credit structures, including ITC and PTC, domestic content requirements, energy communities, and Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) compliance, as they relate to financing eligibility and qualification for tax credits.
– Support refinancings, amendments, waivers, and ongoing lender compliance matters after close.
– Manage multiple transactions simultaneously at different stages of execution without sacrificing quality or attention to detail.

### Corporate Finance
– Support corporate-level debt facilities, revolving credit lines, and other balance sheet financing activities.
– Advise on entity structuring and capitalization for project-level subsidiaries and holding company arrangements.
– Assist with corporate governance matters related to financing transactions.

### Commercial Support
– Experience with EPC contracts, equipment procurement agreements, PPAs, and interconnection agreements is a plus, particularly in relation to bankability reviews and lender consent processes.

## Your Background
– J.D. from an accredited law school.
– Member in good standing of a state bar.
– 8–15 years of project finance experience, with meaningful exposure to energy, battery storage, infrastructure, or data center financings.
– Proven experience closing complex project finance transactions from term sheet through financial close, including tax equity structures (ITC and/or PTC).
– Working knowledge of IRA incentive structures, domestic content, and FEOC compliance requirements, and how these affect project financing and tax credit eligibility.
– Construction financing and term conversion experience is highly valued.
– Corporate finance or capital markets experience is a plus.
– Ability to handle a high-volume workload—multiple active deals, competing priorities, and tight deadlines—with composure and strong judgment.
– Commercially minded with strong practical judgment about risk allocation; able to identify what is worth pursuing.
– Excellent drafting and negotiation skills, with confidence advising and presenting to senior leadership and external counterparties.
– Willingness to travel domestically and/or internationally (up to 10%).
– Comfortable thriving in fast-paced, rapidly growing environments.
– A passion for sustainability and for our mission and vision is a plus.
