Full Job Description
What you'll do
Own real estate deals end to end: Draft, negotiate, and close leases, purchase and sale agreements, and ground leases from LOI through closing, running the large majority of each deal yourself.
Support our food and facility footprint: Handle the leasing, acquisitions, and build-outs behind the kitchen and food production facilities that power our food businesses.
Build out Smart Infrastructure: Paper the land acquisitions, ground leases, build-to-suit agreements, and power upgrades behind charging depots for autonomous and electric fleets, often on deals that don't have a template yet.
Support mining and autonomy: Handle leases and commercial agreements for Pronto, our autonomous haulage business, working closely with that team.
Advise on development and land use: Work through construction contracts, easements, entitlements, zoning, and utility interconnection alongside our real estate development and government relations teams.
Partner with the business: Sit close to the acquisitions, development, and finance teams, translating legal risk into clear commercial calls that keep deals moving.
Build the playbook: Create the templates, standard positions, and processes that let a small legal team close a high volume of deals quickly, and pick up adjacent commercial agreements as the business needs them.
What we're looking for
You bring a J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. California bar admission is strongly preferred.
You have 6+ years of real estate transactional experience, built on a strong law firm foundation of complex, demanding deals. In-house experience at a company that owns or operates its footprint is a plus.
You have run leases and purchase and sale agreements from first draft through close with little oversight, and you know where the real risk sits in the document.
You have worked on development, construction, land use, or entitlements, or bring real estate experience in energy, EV charging, mining, or data centers. Depth in more than one is a strong plus.
You bring sharp judgment and a business-first mindset, translating complex legal issues into clear guidance for non-lawyers and knowing when a deal needs more eyes.
You thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and move quickly without losing rigor.
