Asesor Jurídico Senior

Job Description

Most in-house counsel roles keep you in a corner reviewing contracts. This one puts you in the room with the CEO, shaping how a fast-growing energy company actually operates.

Freedom Power was born when Freedom Solar and Freedom HVAC joined forces to become Texas's complete whole-house energy company. We don't just install equipment. We hand homeowners the keys to something bigger: control over their energy, their bills, and their future. We call it Energy Empowerment, and it's not a tagline - it's the reason we show up every day.

As Senior Counsel, you'll own the company's legal affairs end-to-end advising the Executive, Sales, Marketing, Residential, and Commercial teams, negotiating the agreements that drive our revenue, and managing the disputes and risks that come with scaling fast. This role touches every part of the business, which means your fingerprints will be on everything from the contracts we sign to the strategy we execute. If you want real ownership and a direct line to leadership, not a narrow lane in a big legal department, this is that role.

Your Day-to-Day

• Serve as a trusted advisor on all legal matters for internal stakeholders.
• Manage the departmental budget.
• Provide forward-looking, pragmatic legal guidance to our Executive, Sales, Marketing, Residential, and Commercial teams to keep their activities and transactions compliant.
• Drive revenue by leading the drafting, review, and negotiation of agreements - installation agreements and terms and conditions for solar, HVAC, and generator sales; construction agreements for Commercial & Industrial; material procurement contracts for Supply Chain; and marketing, consulting, and service agreements.
• Manage escalated customer disputes and litigation matters, including cancellations, liens, collections, and related matters.
• Oversee the company's vendor onboarding process, including negotiating vendor agreements and managing the relationship with our third-party onboarding partner.
• Partner efficiently with outside legal counsel to support the company's growth and interests.
• Support the Executive team on key strategic projects, high-profile issues, and our mission and values.
• Develop and enforce legal guidelines and in-house policies that uphold our legal and ethical standards.
• Assist with corporate secretarial tasks, including entity management and company policy documentation.
• Lead the adoption of legal technology to manage our legal portfolio and drive operational efficiency.

What You Bring

• 10+ years as a licensed attorney (in-house experience preferred, not required) or 5+ years in the renewable energy sector
• JD from an accredited law school and active membership in the Texas State Bar (or ability to obtain admission within 60 days of start)
• Litigation or litigation management experience required
• Foundational knowledge of commercial transactional matters, ideally in construction, renewable energy, or consumer law
• Experience in, or genuine willingness to learn, the renewable energy industry
• Capacity to work autonomously, juggle multiple priorities, and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
• Strategic thinker with strong business acumen who can clearly articulate recommendations that drive decisions
• Ability to work in-office in Austin, TX
• Excellent communication skills and a professional demeanor
• High integrity, sound judgment, attention to detail, and strong problem-solving skills
• A willingness to roll up your sleeves in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

What's In It For You

• Direct access to and partnership with the CEO and Executive team
• Broad scope across every part of the business - real influence, not a narrow lane
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
