Role Scope- Structure, draft, and negotiate the full range of real estate transactions behind Fluidstack's data center buildout, including purchase and sale agreements, build-to-suit and ground leases, real estate financing, tax incentives, title review and insurance, zoning and land use, easements, environmental matters, and restrictive covenants.
- Build the foundation for scale: create Fluidstack's library of real estate form agreements and stand up the network of local counsel we need in each market.
- Run complex negotiations with sophisticated counterparties end to end, balancing legal risk against the speed our business demands.
- Manage outside counsel across substantive disciplines with rigor on scope, quality, and spend.
- Quarterback transactions cross-functionally with site selection, development, finance, and delivery teams so deals never stall.
- Advise business leaders as a strategic partner, anticipating legal and commercial issues before they arise and having solutions ready.
What We're Looking ForThe below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
- You hold an active license to practice law in at least one jurisdiction and can meet admission requirements where you will practice.
- You've autonomously structured, drafted, and negotiated complex commercial agreements as lead attorney, against sophisticated counterparties, with sophisticated practice in areas that map directly to data center real estate development: land acquisition and disposition, build-to-suit and ground leasing, real estate finance, zoning and land use, construction, title and insurance, and similar.
- You've personally made sound, commercially pragmatic calls in ambiguous, high-stakes situations, and colleagues can point to deals where your judgment changed the outcome.
- You've overseen outside counsel across multiple disciplines and held them to a rigorous bar on scope, quality, and spend.
- You write and speak clearly enough to turn a dense legal issue into a decision and a next step for an executive or a counterparty.
- Bonus: A mix of law firm and in-house experience. Using AI to improve legal work and efficiency. In-house experience at a data center developer or cloud company.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
