SUMMARY :

We are expanding our commercial, industrial, and emerging form-factor EV programs, along with our advanced manufacturing and clean-energy equipment sales and service businesses. We are seeking a detail-oriented, motivated attorney to work directly with business units and provide practical day-to-day legal advice and support across commercial, procurement, compliance, employment, and dispute-management matters. The role will collaborate closely with legal and business colleagues under the guidance of a managing attorney or senior business leader.

The position requires a self-starter with maturity and judgment to operate with strong alignment to organizational objectives, take ownership of matters, and maintain accountability for results. The successful candidate will provide clear guidance, set appropriate guardrails, and help business teams stay aligned with commercial, legal, and risk-management standards. Many initiatives involve shifting priorities, sustained intensity, and tight timelines. The ideal candidate will manage complex matters, navigate challenges, and exercise sound judgment under pressure while working with highly driven teams across the U.S. and internationally (Canada, Latin America, the EU, and Asia).
