We’re looking for an experienced in-house attorney passionate about saving the planet and social justice! Is it you?
Elemental Excelerator is on a mission to redesign the systems at the root of climate change. In 2009, we launched a new non-profit model for funding climate tech deployment. Breaking down barriers to innovation alongside entrepreneurs provides us outstanding insight into the policy, market, and technology innovation needed to build systems to uplift people and communities around the world. Elemental has invested in over 100 growth-stage companies and celebrated more than a dozen exits, funded more than 70 technology projects, and built a platform for scaling equitable, market-driven solutions to climate change.
At Elemental, we blend a growth mindset with the diverse backgrounds and roots of our team, cultivating a dynamic culture where everyone’s contributions are valued and encouraged. The Elemental culture is fast-paced, joyful, and results-oriented, offering opportunities to learn, grow, and give to a high-performing team. Our in-house attorney is able to effectively navigate a sophisticated organization involving diverse audiences with compassion, including under time-sensitive situations.
The key responsibility for this role will be to further develop, test, and iterate on Elemental’s legal, compliance, and risk management processes so that Elemental Excelerator can be an outstanding conduit for the companies we support in the climate, clean infrastructure, and innovation sectors. Your role will be integral to defining and building scalable infrastructure for our legal function. In addition to building out processes and addressing ongoing legal questions, Elemental’s in-house counsel will be responsible for an expansive contracting scope: drafting, execution, and ongoing project management of contracts with portfolio companies, vendors, contractors and other parties. The In-House Counsel will report to our Chief Operating Officer and work closely with the Managing Director, Finance, as well as many others across the Elemental team. This is an exciting opportunity to make a big impact at an influential and growing organization!
