Counsel, Corporate

The Senior Counsel, Corporate will be a senior member of Generate Capital's legal team and a trusted partner to leaders across the business. This role will own a broad portfolio of corporate matters, including corporate governance, board and stockholder matters, strategic transactions, and corporate financing.

• Help maintain and improve corporate policies, approval frameworks, signing authorities, and legal processes that enable disciplined and efficient decision-making.
