About the Role

As Legal Counsel, you will be a key leader overseeing complex project finance transactions, serving as the in-house legal expert for the company's core mission. You will partner with the Assistant General Counsel to establish operational legal objectives and processes for closing complex transactions, providing strategic counsel that is risk-informed and carries significant financial impact.

This role is pivotal for a legal professional focused on project finance transactions to drive Sunrun's expansion. You will lead the structuring, negotiation, and closing of complex, high-value transactions, including tax equity, debt, and asset-backed securitizations for distributed renewable energy. Your strategic counsel will directly enable the rapid expansion of clean energy solutions, requiring the autonomy to advise executive stakeholders and manage outside counsel on multi-million dollar deals under the latest federal legislation.

You will operate as a legal and strategic resource to non-lawyer business partners, providing practical, high-impact advice. The role demands a strong business mindset and the agility to utilize AI tools to enhance productivity and streamline workflows in our fast-paced, evolving environment.
