Description
Highland has an opportunity for a seasoned commercial counsel with an entrepreneurial mindset. This Director role reports to the General Counsel and supports our core business in driving revenue contracts with public agencies and transportation firms. The ideal candidate will have at least six years of legal experience, including law firm and in-house roles as well as supervisory experience. The candidate should be comfortable navigating strategic partnerships, drafting and negotiating a variety of commercial contracts, and supporting related financings. Experience in one or more of the following industry areas is strongly preferred: transportation, fleet leasing, or energy services (such as power purchase agreements, battery storage, or energy savings contracts).
The candidate will work in a fast-paced startup environment and will be comfortable taking on an array of matters. However, the primary focus in this role will be to collaborate with Highland’s sales and origination team and counterparties to drive the sales process from preliminary negotiations (or bid solicitation response) to executed contracts.
