Legal Counsel

This Legal Counsel role will support Volta's Executive team and Legal / Compliance team in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating the agreements that underpin the company's fundraising, strategic direction and operations — from capital raises with investors / debt financings, vendor / procurement contracts to customer / partnership agreements.

This role works also closely with the Delivery, Procurement, and Corporate Development teams across a fast-moving infrastructure business, and is well suited to a lawyer who enjoys getting close to the commercial detail.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial contracts, including vendor, procurement, and customer agreements, factoring in commercial risk, operational requirements, and bankability considerations for financing.
• Advise internal stakeholders on contractual risk, obligations, and negotiation strategy.
• Support procurement and delivery teams on equipment, construction, and services agreements for data center projects.
• Assist with corporate and structuring functions (entity structuring / formation, corporate workflows, governance negotiations).
• Maintain and improve contract templates, playbooks, and approval workflows.
• Track contractual obligations and support compliance with commercial terms.
• Collaborate with the General Counsel / VP Legal on regulatory, tax and policy matters as needed.
• Support due diligence for partnerships, financings, and other transactions.
• Stay current on relevant legal and regulatory developments affecting the business.

What You Bring:

• 4+ years of experience as a commercial lawyer, in-house or at a law firm, ideally supporting infrastructure, technology, or energy clients.
• J.D. and active bar membership in a relevant jurisdiction (US / England).
• Strong commercial contract drafting and negotiation skills.
• Experience with vendor, procurement, or construction-related agreements is a plus.
• Ability to manage a high volume of contracts and competing priorities.
• Excellent judgment, attention to detail, and communication skills.
• Comfortable working directly with business stakeholders outside of Legal.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
