About the Role
Voltage Energy is building a best-in-class legal function to support a rapidly scaling business. We’re hiring a high-caliber Sr. Paralegal or Corporate Counsel to work directly with the Chief Legal Officer across a broad range of legal, compliance, and operational initiatives.
This is not a traditional support role. You’ll operate as a core member of the legal team, with exposure to executive leadership, investors, and strategic company decisions. This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow beyond a conventional paralegal or junior legal track and make a meaningful impact.
What You’ll Do
- Lead day-to-day legal execution across contracts, NDAs, vendor agreements, and internal documentation
- Help build and scale legal systems, templates, and processes
- Support corporate governance, including board materials and entity management
- Partner with HR on employment matters, policies, and risk management
- Support equity administration and compensation planning with finance and leadership
- Manage international legal matters and coordinate with outside counsel
- Own contract lifecycle management and process improvement
- Conduct legal research and deliver practical, business-focused guidance
- Identify legal and compliance risks and propose proactive solutions
- Operate cross-functionally as a trusted partner to leadership
- Act as a force multiplier for the CLO with independent execution
What We’re Looking For
- 4+ years of experience in a law firm, in-house legal team, or high-performing paralegal role
- Strong contract experience with a meaningful volume of agreements
- Comfort operating autonomously in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
- Business-minded approach to legal problem-solving
- Highly organized with strong attention to detail
- Excellent communicator, comfortable working with senior leadership
- Collaborative mindset and solutions-oriented approach
Juris Doctor (JD) preferred but not required — exceptional paralegals are encouraged to apply
Strong Plus
- Experience supporting public company legal functions
- Familiarity with AI-based legal tools, contract automation, or legal tech workflows
- Background in energy, infrastructure, or other regulated industries
- Experience building or scaling legal operations and processes
- Experience supporting international operations
- Experience with Regulatory Affairs or Construction Law.
