  • High-Level Project Development and Commercial Contracts: Provide strategic direction in the drafting and negotiation of primary project agreements critical to the business, including engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts, installation and sales partnership agreements, distributed power plant (DPP) agreements, lead generation agreements, operations and maintenance (O&M) agreements, and long-term equipment supply agreements
  • Serve as the legal lead in working with Sunrun’s installation and sales partners on commercial agreements related to sales and installation partnerships
  • Function as the ultimate internal expert on matters related to our construction and sales partners, seeking appropriate input to ensure contracts are fully bankable
  • Autonomous Collaboration and External Management: Operate autonomously as a legal and strategic resource to non-lawyer business partners, including the Project Finance, Business Development, Installation and Sales Partnerships, and Operations teams, providing practical, high-impact, and solution-oriented legal advice
  • Manage and oversee outside counsel with little direction, driving efficient utilization and ensuring high-quality, cost-effective service delivery across multiple simultaneous, complex transactions

Requirements

  • J.D. Degree from an accredited law school
  • Active Membership in good standing in at least one U.S. state bar
  • Minimum of 8-10+ years of dedicated, high-level experience practicing law, with a primary focus on Project Finance and Development, preferably with experience in a leading law firm's Project Finance and Development group and as senior in-house counsel for a major renewable energy developer or fund
